Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Mičková, Pavla ; Ježková, Tereza (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project that focused on different approaches to solving the housing crisis. It was based on the evaluation of information on current trends in housing, but also on the history of global and local solutions to the problem. This was followed by the selection of a location suitable for the design of a residential complex. I focused on the Brno brownfields. The area in question belongs to the development locations of Brno, so a new attractive district should be created in its immediate vicinity in the future, to which I decided to respond. The goal of the proposed urban planning part was to connect and make the selected plot as accessible as possible in connection with the proposed development in the vicinity. The solution to the traffic situation in the locality and the connection of existing roads with newly proposed ones became part of the work. The proposal itself is then carried out in the spirit of respect for the given territory and the use of participatory housing to solve the crisis. The proposal consists of several parts, the aim of which is to fill existing gaps, replace unsuitable objects and find a way to use the complicatedly shaped brownfield. In the final design, I am trying to create pleasant housing near the city center, which is surrounded by greenery, responds to current needs, saves energy and is a response to the housing crisis.

The Call of the Wild
Šmihuľa, Bernard ; Ježková, Tereza (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
Architecture is a fundamental element of cultural heritage, and the restoration of historic buildings can be key to preserving the heritage of past generations. By studying the historical context, we can better understand the meaning of the building and the role it played in its time. This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the recreation of the Spa Sivá Brada, which was once an important social center in the local region. Unfortunately, due to the controversial events that took place during the period of communism and the beginnings of the independent Slovak Republic, the spa is no longer standing today. The work deals with the historical significance of the spa and its impact on the local community. The study also analyzes the potential benefits of the recreation of the spas, such as the use of the potential of the healing waters in the area or the tourism increase. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to point out the importance of the Spa Sivá brada restoration and to stimulate a public debate through a comprehensive analysis of the history, current state and potential design of the Spa Sivá Brada.
