Re-use of agricultural facility brownfields

Abstract

The paper focuses on brownfields of agricultural facilities in three locations, i.e. in the center of a small village, on the outskirts of the village and in the countryside. Historical sites with cultural and social value were selected for their location, context and their nature or the existence of listed buildings. This created the opportunity to present three model situations of approaches to site solutions. The issues were gradually presented to Master's degree students in Architecture and Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of VŠB-TU in Ostrava, to allow each of them to create an opinion over the course of the semester on the possibility and level of utilization of abandoned agricultural sites. The results of their work show their thinking on the direction and re-use of the brownfields, primarily influenced by their location, but also by other aspects that had a significant impact on the resulting design concept.
