Jihlavské historické domy / Historical Houses Jihlava

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.
