The diploma thesis “To be again” is a continuation of the pre-diploma thesis dealing with circular architecture and forms of recycling strategies. This project tries to present the process of circular design in the local context of Brno. The design of the new building tries to integrate as many elements as possible from a selected deconstructed building and in this way demonstrate the aesthetics hidden in bricolage. The goal is to verify the viability and aesthetics of reusable architecture. Reusing building components requires a specific design and implementation process. The architect first compiles a catalog of elements suitable for reuse that are available to him. He then assembles these elements into a new whole for a defined purpose. The elements regain their meaning. Unfortunately, the logistic infrastructure to enable the reuse of building elements is currently lacking in the Czech Republic. Therefore, I propose the dismantling and reuse of elements obtained from the Komín depot building, which is planned to be demolished due to its compromised statics. The building is owned by the city of Brno and is becoming a source of material for the construction of a multifunctional building and a parking garage in the Brno - Ponava development region.

Studentka odprezentovala svou diplomovou práci. Byly přečteny posudky a otázky oponenta. Studentka reagovala na položené otázky. Následně začala diskuze nad projektem. Co se stane s prvky, které zůstanou a nebudou použity? Kdy nastal moment, kdy jste se rozhodla, jakou funkci bude mít budova vytvořená z použitých demontovaných prvků? Zajímá mě vaše reflexe celého semestru, co jste vlastně udělala a co bylo nejdůležitější ve vaší diplomové práci? Proč to není jen jedna budova? Studentka odpovědela na otázky.
