Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Hobzová, Petra ; Jourová, Drahoslava (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
My diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project with the same name, namely "Architecture in the Time of the Housing Crisis." In the theoretical part, together with two female classmates, we analyzed the development of housing from the industrial revolution to current housing trends around the world within the framework of different time sectors. The result is a detailed analysis of topics that, in our opinion, are connected to the housing crisis, whether it is a historical or a current one. We also analyzed the current principles of participatory housing, which can be a suitable path for the Czech Republic to more affordable housing within various social groups. I myself was interested in the approach of the city of Brno and its pilot project of affordable cooperative housing. Cooperative housing is an advantageous combination of ownership and rental housing. This is mainly a very good solution for young families who cannot afford a mortgage due to a lack of funds. Funds for the construction of the apartment are provided by the cooperative, the tenant - member of the cooperative makes an initial membership deposit and the rest of the share is paid in the form of rent. A cooperative member rents an apartment from the cooperative, and after paying off the loan, the apartment becomes his property. I design commercial areas and common areas as part of houses, usually on the ground floor of houses. The four- and five-story apartment buildings have shared roof terraces. Residents of all apartment buildings share common gardens where they grow their own vegetables and plants. Together, they also take care of operation and maintenance, when shared spaces can be rented out for other temporary use. Commercial premises procure a regular financial contribution for the cooperative, which gradually repays the construction loan. As part of my diploma thesis, I decided to create an apartment complex in the countryside, as a comfortable multi-generational living, which will meet the standards of the present time. The advantage of this location is the close accessibility to the center of Brno in connection with public transport. For my solution, I chose the abandoned site of Kohn's brickyard on Červené kopci. Currently, there is a brownfield and a large horticulture colony.

Architecture in the era of housing crisis

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.
