Academic literature on the topic 'Náměstí Míru (Babákovo náměstí)'

Diploma thesis „Náměstí Míru – extension and rehabilitation of public space in Brno“ deals with the analysis of the current state of defined part of Masaryk district, the evaluation of the problems of the imaginary city center and the design of buildings along with the working transport solution. The aim of the thesis is to define „Náměstí Míru“ as a functional public space, that people can identify with. To modify traffic solutions to avoid confused situations and collisions between pedestrians, trams and cars. To design new buildings to replace brownfields, create new housing units, and offer opportunities for using an active parterre. Emphasis is placed on modern urbanistic approaches and views of the 21st century, compact building, multifunctionality of buildings, and prioritization of city planning and public spaces with priority on human, his interests, needs, and everyday life.

During the movement of the city of Brno, we can perceive a series of fragments, stop unfinished urban visions. To greater or lesser extent affect the current appearance of the city and causing relationships or processes we do not understand. By understanding the original concept we can grab those sites again and meaningfully work with them. The subject of this thesis became a trio of locations - náměstí Míru (Peace Square), Akademické náměstí (Academic Square) and the area of Kraví hora (Cow Mountain). In these parts of the city we can reveal fragments of unfinished projects. They are joined together by imaginary storyline of campus construction of Czech universities in the 20s and 30s of the last century. That was the key, but not the only one, factor in shaping the form of these public spaces. The aim of the research is to analyze the historical context of the development of built-up areas affecting the monitored sites. Define the basic concept of spatial composition and analysis resulting of the functional and spatial arrangement. The model of the interwar form was confronted with the present state of the monitored area and also subjected to detailed analysis in terms of form, function and operation. The essential aim of this research was insertion plan of the period to the contemporary model of the structure of Brno and verification broader spatial and operational relationships with the help of animation and simulation of human movement with the site. The results can serve as stimuli state authorities for further working with these sites, as well as for urban practice.

This master's degree thesis is focused on the traffic problem at Míru square in the city of Brno where the intersection with tram terminus turning loop is located. Thesis is based on local engineering survey with the outcome of six different design variants. The variant with the tram turning loop displaced north-west was chosen for detailed design with the outcome of full technical documentation and drawings.

This thesis is focused on quietening vehicular traffic in the Náměstí Míru square in Brno and arranging it more clearly. A research on traffic, terrain and proprietary rights has been made together with familiarization with the locality and needs of residents. As the best of three conceptual options has been chosen one moving the tram loop into a new object built on estates of Brno city. Introduction of this – southern – option includes detailed drawing documentation.

The goal of my work was to design a good working complex of buildings with a diverse functional structure which is missing in Masaryk's district a little. The design is highly influenced by the character of Masaryk's quarter, transport solutions and other factors that emerged from individual territorial analyzes. Crucial to my design was the position of the tram loop. I decided to move the loop to the park, which allowed me to create a quiet square for people and not for transport. Designed apartment houses create block structure by their shape and layout. The site is densely bulit with terraced houses that appear in this locality. Another inspiration for me was the area around Pod kaštany Street. Buildings are designed as a four-storey. The fourth floor is retreated to three-meter to creating roof terraces for flats in last storey. The mass of the house is created by simple blocks with an average size of 72 x 12 m. They are curved at the end to create form a block structure. There is always a 9 m space between these intersections, which forms the entrance to the courtyard. The views of the courtyards repeat the principle of distance between family houses with views of their private gardens. In addition to residential buildings, I have also designed a library with a social center, a town hall that creates a counterbalance to the church of St. Augustine and also a smaller sports hall. All these buildings work together to bring more diversity into Masaryk's neighborhood, whether in terms of civic amenities or social composition of the population.

The aim of this work is to revitalize the public space of náměstí Míru on Kraví hora. The work tries to find further functional use of the, which would include rebuilding the currently unused former military premises at Lerchova street while respecting the current state of the surrounding buildings and greenery. The proposed solution of a new square design signifies urban space as the center of the Masaryk's Quarter. The design takes into account the current location of the tramway balloon loop, which is located in the middle of the area and shapes the unique character of the location. This element of transport is thus left at the heart of the entire urban design. It forms an islet made up of designed buildings with a square created inside. The intention is to build a lively core of the district attracting attention not only from a local populace.

The diploma thesis Peace of square - completion and reconstruction of the public space in Brno is the topic I chose to elaborate my final work. This is an urban study that seeks to find the most appropriate space solution for a newly created square. Peace Square is located in the part of Brno called Stránice, in the saddle between the Yellow Hill and Kraví hora. It is the natural center of the adjacent Masaryk district, built in the beginning of the 20th century. Significant factors influencing the design are indeed a rich background of civic amenities in the form of the Church of St. Augustine, observatory, park and swimming pool at Kraví hora, two primary schools and gymnasium near the square. The concept is based on the creation of a new compact apartment building, which forms a stable backdrop to the newly created square in front of the Church of Sts. Augustina. The square is open to the auditorium where there is a park on the hill Kraví hora. The proposal emphasizes the compactness of the building, the multifunctionality of objects and the transport hierarchy. This brings people to the forefront and their everyday life and needs. The concept reflects the modern urbanistic trends of the 21st century.
