Completion of the BUT - Faculty of Fine Arts

The thesis deals with the new building of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Veveří street, Brno. The area discussed is situated on the border between Brno-střed and Brno-Žabovesky. It is delineated by Veveří, Šumavská, and Bulínova streets. The design concerns a complex of two universities, which comes from the new draft of local plan of Brno. This plan copes with a draft of an underground tram track. The design also follows the building programme which has been created for an architectural competition in Akademické square in Brno. Both the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Institute of Forensic Engineering (which is expected to be converted into the Faculty of Forensic Engineering) will be moved to this compound. Furthermore, common conveniences, used by all of the dislocated organization units, will be situated there, including the assembly hall, university canteen, library, exhibition grounds and technical support. Apart from the buildings of VUT, the campus will include a parking lot, requested and financed by the municipal authority of Brno, which will replace current parking spots. The arrangement of the campus proposed will allow a successive construction - during the first phase, all the parking lots must be built and subsequently, the individual faculties. FaVU will be composed of three traditional disciplines - painting, sculpture and intermedia - which will include other subdisciplines. In the design proposed, there are also external sites designed for the art of sculpture
