Rivers were always an important factor in the evolution ofcities. From ancient times, rivers were used in cities forirrigation, transportation, leisure and other activities. In the lastcouple of decades, urbanism paid special attention to therelationship between the river and the city.Bucharest makes no difference. The first settlement here wascreated along Dambovita, the only river of the city. During theyears, Dambovita faced different changes. Each historical periodinfluenced in a different way the image and the functionality ofthe river. Nowadays, as a result of the communist period, theriver is deeply disconnected from the city, being polluted andforgotten by the inhabitants.The main goal of the project is to reestablish the relationbetween the river and the city. By facilitating the transport onwater, redesigning the waterfronts and creating approachablelandscapes on both sides of the river the project allows the riverto extend into the city. The car-oriented fast-traffic roads onboth sides of the river are being transformed into pedestrianareas and bike lanes and green corridors are designed on bothsides.Furthermore, two focus areas were specifically chosen torepresent the new image of the city. These neighborhoods aredesigned in close connection to the river, facilitating watertransport and the appropriation of the inhabitant to the bluestructure. The design takes into account three main structuresin the city: The Blue Structure, The Green Structure and theSocial Structure, including these three layers at all scales.

Studied area is located in the vicinity of the Old Brno Mendel Square, which currently operates as a transport hub. This is the area of the former factory Krass and a connected area towards the Brno Exhibition Centre. My intention was to create a pleasant site for a comfortable accommodation with facilities, services and shops. Public spaces for recreation with plenty of green for a harmonious environment where people like to spend time after coming home from work. The proposal is the most appropriate combination function, so that the streets were never empty. When I came out of formation conditions of the existing building traditions from the surrounding construction. Most buildings in the locality has a business parter, the courtyard is then oriented recreational facilities to their residents. The whole area is lined with a barrier of higher buildings. As the starting area of the square Mendlovo and exhibition is considered a shopping center with arcade. Below the center is also located car park. In the middle of the square is located, is easily identifiable by high-rise landmark - the chimney heat. Floors territory ranges from 4 to 12 floors with a gradation towards the center. The location is surrounded by traffic and be served a few strokes, so I tried to do not let in a lot of cars.

The main idea of the project is a gradual interpenetration of a town and nature and concurrently the free connection of the new projected area Rybníky and neighbouring quarter Prštné. And so the density of housing gradually becomes thinner and the density of vegetation thicker from the South to the North. At the same moment the form and function of buildings are changing. There is a sport area in greenery between Rybníky and Prštné as an open connection of new buildings in Rybníky and old ones in Prštné. Entrances of the area are defined by two dominant administration buildings. A local centre of the area is a park with a pavilion in its heart and a near public courtyard with café, kindergarten and the home for the elderly and singles. The projected area is full of cycle paths which connect the quarter and the Zlín city centre. The riverbank with a relaxation zone is created along the river Dřevnice.
