REVITALIZATION OF THE FORMER INDUSTRIAL AREA IN PRAGUE, VYSOČANY
Černeyová, Natália ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The topic of the diploma’s thesis is a proposal of revitalization of the former industrial area in Prague, Vysočany. The neighborhood that was in the past in the suburbs of Prague near the railway is now barely used or not used for the benefit of the city district and its users. The proposal is based on creating an active environment that would correspond to the modern running of the city and serve the needs of its inhabitants. The urban-architectural study respects the current trends of the locality and ongoing development projects, which will significantly influence the appearance and functioning of Vysočany district. In particular, the given locality is characterized by the lack of urban life, as it is mainly the industrial district, as well as the center itself, which would correspond to a major urban district. An important part of the whole concept was the intervention of the area with the new city boulevard Kolbenova. The aim of the thesis is a proposal that would be based on the needs of Prague as a metropolitan city, therefore the proposal respects the currently discussed Metropolitan Plan, which allows high-rise development in the given locality. The study seeks to create sufficient housing capacity and opportunities that represent the potential for the entire city district and can respond to the demand of the population for quality living in the city according to current standards relating to the capital city of Prague.

Balák, Ondřej ; Pokorný, Jiří (advisor) ; Šindelář, Jan (referee)
The aim of the present thesis is to describe the origin, evolution and decline of the end section of the railway line Vysočany-Těšnov. In more general terms it provides an introduction into the construction of the railway lines at the end of the 19th century in Prague, records specific preparatory and construction works in the section of Vysočany-Těšnov, and briefly informs on the issue of passenger and freight transport on this line. Railroad buildings and other structures which have been connected with the above line, as well as some of those which have survived to the present are analysed within the thesis. The final chapter focuses on the question of the destruction of the Těšnov railway station building. Another approach to this issue is an attempt to compare the conditions of the railway body and its surroundings at the time of the operation and at present. To this end, period and present-day maps were employed, in addition to the field research carried out on the still preserved remaining parts of the railway line.
