Next stop: Mendlovo náměstí. Are you getting off? This work builds on the pre-diploma project Přítomnosti, a qualitative study of the Staré Brno neighborhood. It draws on the observations and findings of that project and focuses on Mendlovo náměstí - the neighborhood’s natural center, which reflects both its strengths and weaknesses while remaining a place that people mostly just pass through. The thesis addresses the question of how to design within the context of a neighborhood that, while the oldest in Brno, nevertheless appears temporary or unfinished in character. Specifically, the design focuses on the site’s context as a major transportation hub and raises the question of what the relationship between architecture and transportation might look like in a vibrant urban environment. The thesis focuses on the design of a building located in the center of Mendlovo Square, on the site of the current tram loop. It presents a structure that responds to its immediate surroundings in both mass and form and aims to become a physical and social link for this location.
