The thesis deals with the issue of architecture of a contemporary single-family house in The Beskydy region. In the introduction of the thesis The Beskydy region as well as the document of the Protected landscape area of Beskydy (Chráněná krajinná oblast - CHKO Beskydy) are described. In recent years the above mentioned topic has been discussed a lot among the architects and designers of the region. Current architecture in the CHKO Beskydy has been stagnating for years due to the fact that in this region quality architecture of a little higher level will always necessarily be in conflict with the devastating policy of the CHKO Beskydy. The objective of the thesis is to specify rules that need to be observed when creating a contemporary single-family house in the Beskydy region. The design as well as the realization of a single-family house in Prostřední Bečva serves to experimentally verify the thesis. This thesis, including the analysis of the obtained data, collecting information, technical examination and authorized expert opinions, has performed as an important part of the engineering process leading to the approval of architectural projects from the institutions of the state administration.

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of "Jihlava historical houses" (hereinafter JHD), which primary use today is for a permanent housing with unsatisfactory characteristics. Most apartments consist of a studio apartment with minimal or shared sanitary facilities. This condition arose due to the layout changes during the 18th and 19th centuries, when a large part of the spacious Renaissance and Baroque palace houses were transformed into intensively used apartment buildings. Given the situation persists to this day, it is necessary to think about changing the nature of such houses as part of the city's development. The diploma thesis addresses the location of the southeastern tip of Jihlava's Masaryk Square, which has the ambition to soon transform into a cultural HUB of the city and includes seven JHD. As more than half of these houses were already discussed at the faculty, the university have already prepared a plan of changes in the houses` nature. It is nonetheless necessary for a comprehensive overview of changes in the locality to prepare a study of the last two JHD, which are adjacent to one another. The objective of the paper is to address the functional characteristics of these houses regarding their placement within the city. Consideration is given to the studies and planned changes within the area - the reconstruction of Masaryk Square and the ongoing reconstruction of the house Masaryk Square 21, which bound to become the center of culture, education and tourism. The houses No. 22 and 23, which this paper addresses, are now enclosed by the future cultural and social house and the existing Vysočina Regional Gallery - this location thus significantly affects their use in the future. House No. 23, which is characterized by its large inner hall with a porch, is directly adjacent to the Regional Gallery of Vysočina, which faces the lack of a representative entrance facilities for visitors and insufficient space for a permanent exhibition. In terms of functionality, the house No. 23 is suitable for cultural purposes and so the existing Vysočina Gallery Area merges with it and its main entrance is moved. House No. 22 retains the function of a permanent housing, primarily due to its good layout, but is more up to the standards of Jihlava. The mentioned four houses influence the adjoining accessible courtyard, which is transformed into a new attractive public space. The outcome of the paper is not only an urban and architectural study of two addressed houses and the adjacent courtyard, but also an evaluation of the overall functional change of the site in the future, including other JHD. Primarily, the monofunctional nature is removed from the addressed location, which now finds itself unsuitable for housing, and a new functional characteristic are proposed that support the development of the southern tip of Masaryk Square, but at the same time respect the essence of the housing, which should always be primarily based upon the customized needs. The paper is an overview of the future functional development of this locality and discusses the possibilities of how the city of Jihlava could manage the historical houses within the area and thus significantly affect life in the city.

Due to desirable emission reductions and population growth, an increasing energy demand isidentified as a dire issue for energy systems. The introduction of low energy building districtsenables an increased energy system efficiency. This study’s aim is twofold. Firstly, an extensive urban building energy model is used to simulatethe yearly use and geographic distribution of the heat demand for residential and commercialbuildings that are to be supplied by a low-temperature district heating system. Two buildingenergy performance cases are studied; one where all buildings are assumed to be of PassiveHouse standard, and one where the building energy performance is in line with conventionalnew-building regulations in Sweden. The study showed that that Passive Houses will generatethe lowest yearly heat demand and that implementation of ventilation heat recovery has a bigimpact. Furthermore, the results showed that a variation of building energy performance mightbe advantageous when planning a new city district with district heating. Secondly, one specific building is in detail modeled as Passive House and according to BBR-standards and simulated in the building energy simulation software IDA ICE to investigate whatbuilding heating system is best suited for low-temperature heat supply. The temperaturedemands for floor heating and low tempered radiators is investigated and compared toconventional water-based radiators. Results showed that floor heating requires lowertemperature’s than low temperature radiators, but both are well suited for low temperaturedistrict heating. The study’s results will be used as an example for future city district planning aswell as presenting relevant heating systems for low-temperature district heating.

Prehistoric remains show that people have lived in the Munkedal area since the Stone Age. The early industrialization was favored by the rich natural resources, especially the proximity to forests and water. The fjord opened up the area to the world and provided good opportunities for export. These conditions attracted wealthy merchants and traders who boosted the area's economic development. The affluent built lavish manor houses, which led to a concentration of manor house complexes around the inner part of Gullmarsfjorden. The manor houses have origins from the 1700-1900th century and are more or less preserved today. Their strong connection to the area's history permeates the entire study. The result shows that the manor houses possess high cultural-historical values and should be treated accordingly. In the detailed development plan, all manor houses should have legally binding protection against alteration and be marked with the letter "q". With inadequate knowledge combined with insufficient legal protection, the manor houses and with them, a large part of the area's history, are at risk of being lost. Today, several of them are well preserved, but some inappropriate measures have been taken and three have been demolished. Very little of the gardens, park environments, and other farm buildings are preserved.

This project investigates the possibilities of building on water as a way to add valuable land to dense cities. By utilizing floating structures, I have made a proposal for a new city district on the water outside of Fisksätra, a suburb located 30 minutes east of Stockholm. My ambition was to create a diverse and lively area with business and dwellings that cater to people in all stages of life. The proposal stretches along the western coast of Fisksätra creating a connection between the center of the suburb and a neighboring town as well as making that stretch of the coast accessible for the public. Increasing the access to the water and the coastline has been one of the main goals of the project and the proposal has been made with the ambition to open up the water for both the inhabitants of the new district and the rest of Fisksätra.

This work is devoted to individual living in forest. Cause to designate types or models of houses suitable for forest is a subjective matter, I´ve sought inspiration and parallels in the various forest´s elements. This is how three villas were created - three forest´s fairies. First - villa inspired by organic tree crown, second - villa inspired by brutalism of stones and rocks, and the last one - villa inspired by a series of minimalistic tree trunks.

Redundancy became very common these days. As a consequence unknown brownfields are appearing still faster. Apartment houses owned by municipality became one of these places, as well. There are hundreds of apartments empty nowadays in the city centre of Brno. All of these unused spaces are misunderstood opportunity. Great potential can be used for necessary urban regeneration and re-occupation of the city centre. The only obstacle seems to be missing strategy and general conception. It’s essential to focus on advantages while every house is unique and offers uncountable options of use. Forgotten places can be great opportunity with a new strategy. Activation of houses would bring a new community and would help to reuse inner spaces within urban structure on the background of real sustainable development and compact city principles.
