Abstract
The Thesis is a proposal of an elevated pedestrian network system as a choice to connect two distinct districts, the old city of Brno and the new proposed South quarter. This network system serves a dual purpose of both physically and socially connecting the two districts. Land use allowed for transportation includes road systems, pavements and pedestrian bridges that predominantly possess a single function. At ground level, the pedestrian pavement system has limited space designated mainly for public movement however, in the case of a pedestrian bridge it could behave as a multi-use space than just a transition line. Its ability to blur the edge between two districts forming a single uniform path and also the availability of an ample amount of space provides scope for public movement and also creative, social use and commerce. In a district that houses a railway station such as the South Quarter, questions could arise. Will the entire district be activated. Will it solely serve the purpose of transitional ground between the other districts and the railway station. Will there be a hindrance to the flow of pedestrians given the excessive vehicular movement which is a possibility due to the presence of a railway station? How can we create a direct line between the original stopping point (old railway station) for pedestrians to the proposed stopping point (new railway station)? Thus, Can a bridge behave as a destination space and a transitional artery? Can it aid with the activation of areas within the district? Will it create grounds for a slow-paced, creative, safe, community-led programme. How can a bridge perform efficiently as a transitional path while also functioning
