The thesis deals with with transformation of post-industrial area on Svitava riverfront in Brno - Zábrdovice. Urban planing part completes structure of growing city, cultivates riverfront and creates different types of public spaces. Based on the urban study it suggests design of housning city block with closed courtyard and underground parking.

Jan Svoboda Residence is situated in close proximity to the Svitava River and the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Brno Zábrdovice. Because of the industrial past, there are many Brownfields with undeveloped potential. The primary idea behind the design is to create a nice place to live and to show the possible solution for the future of Svitava Riverfront.

The newbuild library is situated close to the bank of the river Bečva in the historical part of the town. The library is a place to save the values of knowledge, culture and the era itself. It should be strong and durable. It should last for centuries and saveguard its fragile content. However, it should also be an open place for people because information itself is worthless without the human mind to interact with. The contrast of openness and seclusion is expressed not only by shape of the structure but also its facade. The whole building is center-oriented – to the central hall, which is surrounded by books. Secluded volume of the hall is accessed via opening to the library's foreground.

The design of a residential complex in the post-industrial city Zábrdovice has a major role in the return of housing to the city and its immediate vicinity. The historically poor neighborhood with the background of the industrial panorama has great potential for future development. This thesis deals with the rehabilitation of this structure, will bring a fundamental restoration, improvement of the quality of housing and a safe environment. Also proof that even in this locality it is possible to create a fully-fledged place for its inhabitants.

The area of today's southern center of Brno was determined from the very beginning by the location of the rivers Svratka, Svitava and their drives, which defined the southern part of the city as a fertile area suitable for cultivation. After the advent of industrialism, the city transformed rapidly. The southern area was transformed from smaller villages into industrial units, which, due to the proximity of water and the newly established railway, expanded after 1838 to the entire vicinity of the Trnitá district. Already in this period, the location of the station by the Svratka River (in the proposed position from 2016) began to be considered, but due to the waterlogged soil and difficult construction conditions, it was decided for the station under the walls. It was this decision and the unsatisfactory conditions of waterlogged land for the development of the industrial area closer to the Svratka River that caused the suspension of the development of the southern suburbs. The proposal seeks to reflect the context of Brno's apartment buildings in the vicinity of the area, which lacks a comprehensive context and scale. At the same time, however, to solve the environmental problem by proper management of rainwater or the use and design of a recycled perimeter cladding of material obtained after the demolition of other buildings. The building is structurally designed as a combination of a wall system with monolithic, communication cores and the first floor.

The object of this Thesis is an area adjacent to European heritage site of Dolni Vitkovice, in the city of Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian Region. This work focuses on making the area more accessible by all means of transportation, overcoming natural and man-made barriers as well as exploring the possibility of dense development on the site while maintaining its industrial identity. All that in context of otherwise slowly shrinking post-industrial city with aging and declining urban population.
