This project is focused on the reconnection of the town with a waterfront and on the transformation of industrial harbour into a socially sustainable area with integrated sea level rise protection. Where the final proposal is inspired by the scale of medieval town and the industry’s fascinating materials, shapes, and elements.
Project is situated in the town Nykøbing Falster- main town on the Danish Island Falster. The project area includes the former industrial harbour of the town and the stream Tingsted Å crossing the town on the north.
In close cooperation with Guldborgsund Municipality (the municipality of Nykøbing Falster) and their wishes to develop the harbour area and also to revitalize the area along Tingsted Å, has been developed our final proposal of Nykøbing Falster.
Our overall concept is a synthesis of four strategies, in terms of shaping the new harbour front and connecting the places and histories. These four layers (strategies) of our proposal include: The medieval layer and the industrial layer based on the history. Further the landscape layer, which merges unique historical heritage and present face of the town. Finally, the climate adaptation layer, which responds to the climate changes and predictions of its strong impact on the island and the topographically low-lying town Nykøbing Falster.
This bachelor thesis is focused on the Landscape plan of the small scale. The project area is located in the Údolí Ticha in Březová u Hořovic, that is part of the Křivoklátsko protected landscape area.
APPROACHES
The main aim of the project was to improve the landscape permeability as a response to the Land-collectivisation in 1960’ in the and its impact on permeability and diversity of the czech landscape. An additional project aim was to support the development of local tourism and recreation in the protected landscape area. The water management was improved and led to the support of its ecological sustainability and biodiversity by vegetation elements and landscape modification.
PRINCIPLES

Final area of the proposal solution:
Wet meadow: 458 m2
Total area of the wooden paths: 277,1 m2
Total area of the planting herbs and woody plants: 138,4 m2
Framework of the proposal solution:
o Regulation and methodology of the protected landscape area Křivoklátsko, Nature and landscape protection agencies of the Czech Republic
o Act No. 114/1992 Coll., On Nature and Landscape Protection (Collection of Laws of the Czech Republic)
o Act No. 183/2006 Coll., On Spatial Planning and Construction of the Rules of Procedure (Building Act) with Implementing Decree No. 499/2006 Coll., on construction documentation (Collection of Laws of the Czech Republic)
o Relevant ČSN standards in the sense of horticultural and landscape adjustments
The proposal solution, its qualities and influence on the value of the place were taken into consideration. Focus was targeted on the potential negative influence of the proposal and on the qualities of the solution in connection with a special requirements of the protected landscape.
The proposed solution is based on a minimal terrain modulations, because of the existing woody plants and their root zone value. The material solution takes into consideration the special requirements of the occasionally flooded location. For the long term durability (average 10y) of the wooden trail was proposed the oak wood as a main material, because of its suitability in the humid or wet environment during the flooding or heavy rain events. Larch was proposed as an alternative and a cheaper solution, since the larch is being more affordable and has similar abilities.
WOODEN TRAILS- WET MEADOW SOLUTION
• STEPPING-STONES
For the stepping-stones will be used material earned during the terrain modulation of the wet meadow. Based on the geology survey of the locality, is assumed use of the granite stone. Approximate dimensions of the stones will be 500 mm x 400 mm with variable depth, depends on the terrain requirements.
• THE WET MEADOW EXPANSION
Dikes and bioretention areas (swales), as a part of the hard landscaping terrain modulation improve a process of water retention and detention into the soil in the bigger parts of the landscape.
Maintanance
Presupposed re-construction of the one-third of the wet meadow swales once in 5 years.

Project at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) course: Atelier B4. - Family Garden project: family garden design
The project area is in surrounding of Liberec - the biggest city in the north part of the Czech Republic.
Landscape on the north part of Czech is typically characterised as a forest landscape interwoven with agricultural fields. Essential part of the local identity is an architectural dominat Ještěd Hotel and Restaurant at the highest point of the Ještědský štít hilly area.
Therefore, final concept of the garden is based on natural elements, local plant species and natural materials such as granite. Which leads to the harmony of the garden and its surroundings.
Furthermore, triangle shape of the area and steep terrain sharply define character of the garden. The final proposal reflects strong connection of the client´s family to the nature and passion to the sustainable housing and gardening.
Project at KU, course: Urban Ecosystems, team members: : Urban Heat Island Sustainable Design group: Kali Lamont, Jakob Frisk Maibom, Andrea Šupová - graphic design
Main aim of this project was to create a system able to reduce Urban heat Island (UHI) in cooperation with a storm-water management strategy. Project was situated in the social housing association AKB Lundtoftegade.
Design requirements were to create a welcoming, accessible, cooling area for inhabitants, that is able to be easily constructed in any urban area.
Development of the final product is based on the principles of UHI effect reduction and on the storm-water management. Which were observed in Urban ecosystems lectures. Design development was created during a brainstorming based on Urban Ecosystems course lecture by Jesper Vej. The final design reflects the requirements of the social housing association AKB Lundtoftegade.
The final design developed in relatively short time period provides the required storm-water management benefits and a significant cooling effect. Further development for an overflow system and terrain modulation specifications is required. Strong flexibility of the design provides an easy replicability in reflection of the specific requirements of various urban sites. Applicability into this site in current level of the development focused on the services and the requirements has strong potential to be part of ‘the Cooling Down City Strategy’ in the near future.
The final design manages stormwater and serves significant cooling effect on 200 m² area. The system consists of 20 green panels taking up 12 m² and evapotranspiration from grass in the remaining 188 m².
The system provides water storage for a 9 day drought period (based on Denmark climate characteristics) which requires 1287L x 9 days= 11583 L H2O to be able to take up 75% of 1200 kWh incoming latent heat in 200 m² area during hot summer day. Water storeage tank system provides water supply in draugh periods, and is situated on the top of the panels and on the top of the monkey bar. The system is connected to the roof pipes for rainwater management providing water source for the water tanks. Finally, the system is capable managing all of the water from the roof facing the yard where the coolspot is situated during 5 year rain event
