The object of this thesis is an urbanistic study called Transformation of former barracks in Hodonin. Urbanistic study involves not only urbanistic solution of the barracks area, but also examines the potencial of the city expansion in this locality. Study is focused on realistic model of finishing the city structure and proposal of public spaces in surroundings of historical barracks buildings. Although the city tried to connect this territory back to the city structure and not to limit it’s natural development - the area turned into chaos by selling out lands around the barracks. Not only urbanism is the problem here. Buildings, that would deserve the attention, suffer. The historic barracks are the next object in this thesis. In detailed architectural study is their transformation, which considers historical, constructial, economical and social potencial of these buildings. Reconstruction respects mass and historical value of buildings.

A presente pesquisa trata de esforço hermenêutico com o objetivo de historiar o Exército como corpo institucional a partir do período de constituição da corporação como entidade moderna ao da estruturação da República Militar. Com a intenção de expor as filigranas políticas e culturais que ao longo da república brasileira qualificaram as identidades na caserna. Com o olhar voltado às práticas sóciomilitares para enfim compreender a mentalidade hegemônica que consolidou na instituição uma visão conservadora de mundo. Esse olhar, no entanto, não negligencia, ainda, a importância do social da sociedade brasileira para a constituição do Exército como força militar e política na república brasileira. Fundamentalmente, as forças armadas não se apresentam deslocadas da sociedade, mesmo que o confinamento esteja na ordem do dia institucional, verdadeiramente, trata-se de uma entidade burocrática antes totalizante do que totalitária. Sendo assim, a história do Exército não está deslocada da vida ordinária brasileira nem da formação do Estado moderno no país. Sempre é bom lembrar que a matéria-prima o corpo a ser militarizado é antes de tudo produto da sociedade civil. Dessa forma, a escritura revela a intenção de explicar e relacionar, com a modernização do Exército, o processo de normalização militar da caserna com a efetivação da corporação como ator político nacional. No limite, num quadro conjuntural de tensão intramilitar e de consenso, meticulosamente, construído ao longo da república brasileira. Por fim, o contexto societal brasileiro no qual o Exército modernizou-se revela a produção de um poder militar naturalizado, por isso respeitado e autônomo tentamos aqui desnaturalizar esse poder com a historicização das práticas sócio-militares. / The present research represents a hermeneutical effort on approaching the Brazilian Armys history as an institutional corps since its formation period as a modern entity to the Military Republics structurization. Having as a goal to expose the political and cultural contexts that have qualified the military environment all through Brazilian Republic. Aiming the social military practices to finally comprehend the hegemonial mentality that have consolidated in the institution a conservative view of the world. Notwithstanding, that view does not leave apart the importance of the social of brazilian society to the constitution of the Army as a military and political force in the Brazilian Republic. Fundamentally, the Armed Forces are not detached from the society, even though confining is the institutional daily order, actually, it is a bureaucratical entity much more totalizing than totalitarian. Thus, the Armys history is not detached from brazilian ordinary life nor from the formation of the modern State in the country. It is always worth to remind that the raw material the corps to be militarized is above all a product from the civil society. This way, the deed reveals an intention to explain an relate to the Armys modernization, the military normalization of the environment with the corps effectivation as a national political actor. In a conjunctural set of intramilitary tension and consensus, meticulously built all through Brazilian Republic. The brazilian societal context in which the Army modernized itself reveals the production of a naturalized military power, therefore respected and autonomous we try herein to make this power unnatural with the historicization of the social military practices.

The Kelvin Grove Urban Village (KGUV) is a 16-hectare urban renewal redevelopment project of the Queensland Department of Housing and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Over the last century, the land has housed military and educational institutions that have shaped Brisbane and Queensland. These groups each have their own history. Collectively their stories represented an opportunity to build a multi-art form public history project, consisting of a creative non-fiction historical manuscript and a collection of digital stories (employing oral history and digital storytelling techniques in particular) to construct a personal sense of place, identity and history. This exegesis examines the processes used and difficulties faced by the writer/producer of the public history; including consideration of the artistic selection involved, and consequent assembly of the material. The research findings clearly show that: giving contributors access to the technology required to produce their own digital stories in a public history does not automatically equate to total participatory inclusion; the writer/producer can work with the public as an active, collaborative team to produce shared historically significant works for the public they represent; and the role of the public historian is that of a valuable broker--in actively seeking to maximize inclusiveness of vulnerable members of the community and by producing a selection of multi-art form works with the public that includes new media.

Subject of my diploma thesis is to design new residential neighborhood on sight currently occupied by Barracks in Brno, Černá Pole. It is little used in the moment and forms spacial barrier in city organism and is slowly detracting. New proposal integrates area into surrounding development and is trying to maximally utilize its positive aspects. On site is not proposed just quiet residential neighborhood, but also city hall, shops, college dorm, primary school and kindergarten, creating a balanced unit communicating with the surrounding area.

The objective of the diploma project was to repurpose the area of military barracks in theresidential neighbourhood of Černá Pole in Brno. I aimed to create a new urban environment which would seamlessly blend in with the current residential housing development. Included in the given perimeter is also located a new town hall for Brno-Sever. Another of the project’s goals was to design a public place adjacent to the town hall where cultural and other events would be hold. Also, an elementary school, a kindergarten, student dormitories and a new library building and a community center can be found in the area. The rest of the perimeter consists of city blocks, of predominantly residential purpose.
