Master’s thesis addresses the problem of one of the largest brownfields in Brno, site of the former weapons factory, Zbrojovka Brno. The resulting solution is the revitalization of the area into an attractive urban structure offering a variety of spaces for self fulfillment of various groups of people represented by permanent residents, as well as temporary visitors. From the urban point of view the area is divided into a quiet zone along the banks of the river Svitava designated for housing, recreation and relaxation, the central part of mixed areas for trade, services and housing, and the administrative section along the railway line separating the living area from noise emiting railway. From an architectural point of view there is a symbiotic combination of the historical legacy of industrial buildings with contemporary concept of modern architecture into one functional unit.

Master´s thesis deals with the revitalization of the former arms company - Zbrojovka Brno, located in the district Zábrdovice. The area is defined by the river Svitava from west, railway line from east and street Lazaretní from south. The proposal was to convert the ravaged brownfield into functioning city organism which is not widening the problems in its neighborhood, but rather contributing to resolving their solution.

Zbrojovka factory is located near to the historical center of the city quarter of Zabrdovice Near to the area are situated listed buildings, major streets and riverbank of Svitavy . The area is a vast , once very significant and outstanding factory premises. Unfortunately today it became percieved only as extensive . Therefore it can happen to be livable again. In my work I have focused mainly on the revitalization of the southern and central parts of the area . which I perceived as the most authentic ones . The northern part of the area is suitable for new construction,namely for apartments in a quiet location near the waterfront of Svitavy . In the context of long-term neglected objects, there has to be removed the state will have to be a substantial portion. As a temporary solution of using this large open area there is a possibility of creating different kinds of sports activities and areas . Buildings in the east part of the site is partly degraded in working order or its architecture differ from the rest of the complex . It is also an increased level of noise from the adjacent railway line . I propose to use the building as a rentable commercial space or spaces for a small production .

Subject of presented master thesis are two 7-meter objects of crystalline structure located in production hall in Brno former factory Zbrojovka

The aim of this master’s thesis is to create design of a civic roadway with a tram track no.4, that is supposed to meet the transport demand of an area called Zbrojovka, which is an old industrial brownfield to be turned into a civic and business area. What is more, this roadway should provide interconnection between streets Dukelská třída and Zábrdovická. This thesis is carried out as a study. The solution is based on knowledge of Brno’s ground plan, few studies carried out by the Department of public transportation and consultations therein. All directives and standards are included in the index. This work is created using following programmes Autocad Civil 2012, Microsoft Office 2010, AutoTURN 8.1. Final solution has been reached by working in several versions and assesing the most suitable one, which is separating the tram track from the civic roadway. This separation leads to a better coverage of the area.

This thesis focuses on the issues of regeneration brownfields. The work is devided into five chapters. Theory, definition and clasification of brownfields is the subject of the first chapter. The second chapter discusses the negative consequences associated with the occurrence of brownfields. The third chapter looks at general approaches to solving this issue. The fourth chapter pays attention to situation of brownfields in Brno. The last chapter focuses on the analysis and possible solutions to specific brownfield site in the city of Brno.

Bc.Tomková Martina. Územní studie „Zbrojovka“. Brno, FAST 2012. The diploma thesis deals with the revitalization of the industrial area of the former Zbrojovka Brno Company. The area is close to the historical centre of Brno. The principal idea of the diploma thesis was to introduce new activities in the area while making use of the current area potential as well as to restore the economic balance and keep the genius loci of the area. The implementation of this idea has required building conversions in the area and the development of a new project the main idea of which is the university campus. The new project of the area benefits from the layout of buildings, especially the layout of large-capacity halls, the closeness of the city centre and the possibility of the railway connection. The whole conception is in compliance with the strategic development plan of Brno which comprises the issues of research, development, innovation and education. On campus there is an independent office building with integrated railway station, multimedia and sport centre as well as a municipal park. The area is open to and offers a wide range of services to general public. The diploma thesis includes the model of the area design.

Subject of master thesis is urbanist-architecture study of the postindustrial site of former factory Zbrojovka Brno. The outcome of study is focused around further construction, new functional utilisation of existing buildings and novel spacial arrangement that take into the account currently under-utilised areas of the site. Study is focused on urban poly-functionality, quality of public spaces and application of sustainable urban development principles.

This diploma project deals with a post-industrial factory area Zbrojovka Brno. It proposes a strategy for its revitalisation and development. On contrary to official studies of one time reconstruction and creation of a residential site, the proposal brings an idea of step by step transformation into a multifunctional city quarter with preservation and new use of original industrial architecture. The strategy has four main phases, which are characterised by addition of functions, metamorphoses of public space and opening of the area and connecting it to neighbourhoods. After the four phases, the area should become a healthy and sustainable city with a compact structure with mixed functions, high quality public spaces linked with greenery, sustainable system of transportation and energetic concept and with use of community sharing.

The aim of this thesis is a revitalization of the grounds once belonging to Zbrojovka Brno. These grounds are in the zoning map defined as “brownfield”. Within Brno’s limits, the area has an extremely convenient location. Since the grounds are situated in the central part of Brno, the complex is in terms of traffic and transport in the vicinity of both, the current and the newly planned ring-road. Important factors influencing the project are the river Svitava which borders the west side of the area, and a railroad corridor skirting the east side of the location. Assigned area was, for the purposes of this thesis, expanded by the grounds once belonging to Zetor and the adjoining area towards Markéty Kuncové Street. Several buildings from the former grounds, which fit in into the urban concept and were in good technical conditions, have been preserved. From a functional point of view, the newly designed grounds will meet all the requirements for a fully independent municipal district. The multifunctional development contains primarily housing complexes, administrative buildings, public facilities, recreational areas, as well as other functional structures. The urban concept of this project is a result of a study of surrounding blocks. Based on an analysis of the size and height of these buildings, an idealized block was designed and then recreated into a symmetrical raster of blocks with the street width of 20m. This raster was subsequently applied to newly designed points of entry into the area. Total urban and mass proposal of the development areahas been further influenced by principal conceptual points. Among these conceptual points belong the perspective axes which connect the conceptual points with an orientation point, in this case the former factory’s smokestack. Creating a new arm for the Svitava River is another point. Taking into account that the whole vicinity of the factory grounds is without quality public greenery elements.
