Inclusive Housing: Coexistence of Vietnamese and Polish communities
Mičundová, Katarína ; Wasilkowska, Alexandra (referee) ; Kepiński, Kacper Ignacy (advisor)
The aim of the project is to interpret the elements of Vietnamese models of living in the Central European urban fabric and cultural context in order to provide housing for a mixed nationality community with a strong focus on Vietnamese traders from the Bakalarska market. Asia Town, located in the Włochy district, has become a major centre of employment and community activities for the Vietnamese community in Warsaw, introducing a new urbanisation model and architectural character. With this project, housing will become a coherent part of the new Polish-Vietnamese neighbourhood, focusing on the principle of living together in one community and sharing space. The diploma project will focus on the design proposal of the inclusive and affordable housing for two distinct communities of different national backgrounds. The challenge is to find common language and create a haven for the newly emerging community of people.

Baugruppe in Rosice u Brna
Calíková, Natália ; Krištof, Michal (referee) ; Suchánek, Radek (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the topic of Baugruppe and its application in the town of Rosice. It is an approach to housing that is currently used in some countries of Western Europe, but is not yet well represented in the Czech Republic. It is a response to the current state of housing affordability in the Czech Republic and to highlight a housing tip with a good quality/price ratio. At the same time, it is about bringing this topic of housing closer to the society. The thesis is related to the pre-diploma thesis, in which three parcels of the town of Rosice were dealt with and different approaches to deal with the area were sought. The diploma is a response to one of the selected parcel with the actual design of a building with participatory housing.

Baugruppe in Rosice u Brna
Ondrušová, Alica ; Janďourek, Jiří (referee) ; Suchánek, Radek (advisor)
This work is dedicated to the problem of unaffordability of housing in modern cities and seeks for solutions using the participatory baugruppe method. The issue of availability of housing is part of the complex and dynamic organism of every urbanized environment. The aim of the work is to examine why housing is unaffordable for many residents and how we can help them. We are looking for ways to overcome the barriers that still prevent people from accessing affordable and quality housing. The baugruppe participatory housing method, which involves the community in the process of designing and building their housing, appears to be a promising way to achieve this balance. It is necessary to find a balance between the effort to preserve the authentic form of the urban environment and the need for new, current solutions in the field of residential architecture. The baugruppe method can help us create a sustainable and inclusive urban environment where all residents can find a home.

Walls Between Us
Rodová, Eva ; Chovanec, Libor (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with the creation of a conceptual system to address loneliness at the levels of households, streets, and communities. At the household level, it focuses on fostering strong connections among residents, while at the street level, it critiques the current trend of separating gardens from the street. Lastly, at the community level, it concentrates on establishing a quality center crucial for strengthening community bonds. This system is then applied across all levels in the municipality of Cejle. This municipality has lost its identity and center. Additionally, it features various types of houses, from historical structures primarily from the 18th century, through communist-era buildings, to contemporary ones. Thus, the municipality is an ideal candidate for implementing the system, as it allows for testing it on various types of constructions and addresses contemporary issues, particularly the lack of a quality center.

The importance of Co-Housing for seniors in terms of human dignity and quality of life.
KOUBOVÁ, Karolína
Thesis engages in with the concept of cohousing and examines the influences of this form of housing arrangement on individuals' assessment of their own dignity and quality of life. The aim of the thesis is to introduce the concept of cohousing and, through qualitative research, to present the influences of this alternative form of senior living on the assessment of one's human dignity and quality of life. The work thoroughly analyzes the theoretical background of the concept, and subsequently provides an overview of the specifics of the target group of seniors. Furthermore, possible perspectives in the concept of human dignity and quality of life are presented. The final section of the thesis comprises the research proces, which, through the narratives of respondents residing in cohousing, presents specific ways in which this form of living can influence human dignity and quality of life.

Body memory
Temcsáková, Pavlína ; Alster, Darina (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
In my thesis I will present the development of the Czech BDSM community in the last ten years, focusing on shibari - Japanese bondage, during which the body is tied with specially adapted ropes. Once a relatively small community of enthusiastic self-proclaimed perverts, today it has branched out and is accessible to anyone. The thesis takes the form of an art installation, using sculptural objects from the artist's performances, in the form of body prints made from plaster bandages, ropes and a 3D LED advertising projector. The aim of the work is an art installation inspired by my experience with the Shibari community, of which I have been a part for many years. The thesis can highlight the advantages but also the disadvantages associated with the practice of shibari.

Reclaiming traditions
Drevenáková, Natália ; Tamásová, Alexandra (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The "Reclaiming Traditions" project is a comprehensive artistic endeavor that deals with the reinterpretation of Slovak tradition and its cultural elements, specifically the tradition of May 1st - Building the Maypole. This need arises from the personal experience of the author as a queer individual growing up in Slovakia, where queer beings do not have their legitimate place in public space. This transformation takes place within the realms of feminism, ecofeminism, and queer ecology. A part of the project involves the creation of monuments in public spaces, symbolizing a new approach to non-binary perception of nature and the importance of participation. The project evolves through several phases, from the creation of sculptural objects, tapestries, and outdoor installations to happenings. Each phase includes textile linen waste produced by the author during clothing design. This waste is utilized in various project phases (tapestries, hammocks, recycled residues in soil) and in the final thesis phase, as recycled yarn from recycled remnants of linen and wool for crocheting punching bags, representing circlusion. The inspiration for formal transformation is the neologism "CIRCLUSION" coined by German feminist and political writer Bini Adamczak, which is a female act against the male act of penetration. Circlusion (encirclement) denotes active surrounding. The project also reflects on questions of gender, sexual dominance, and ecological responsibility in the context of art in public space and community.

Beyond the extent of space and body
Kubová, Marianna ; Tichá,, Jana (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
After experiencing moments without sight, strong moments of overcoming space and evaluating behaviour on the basis of information received by non-visual options are fixed in the memory. It was the familiar space I went through without seeing it, that showed new values and suddenly I perceived it completely differently. I focused on the materiality of the movement, which described not only its physical boundaries, but also the various sensible stimuli radiating towards my body and senses. This feeling of experiencing space differently, I would compare to feelings of when you re-discover a familiar place from childhood. We already look differently at the long-fixed images of children's eyes and minds, we are even able to compare this perception now. It is not that we did not have good eyesight as children, but we did not realise overall contexts and did not have certain experiences that now help us lead lives in a certain direction. While going through no-sight-experience myself, I found myself in a situation like that. I was like a child who knew a certain space only to a limited extent, in other words a space limited by sight. The initial intuitive assumption that looking at visual impairment not as a disability but as another means of experiencing world became the basis of inspiration for my project. I began to realise the fact that the perception of space in kids, does not only depend on the functioning of the eyesight but also on the functioning of their brain. Depending on where the children grow up, they experience changing states of the surrounding environment, which is related to their emotional, mental and physical development. However, they do not always grow up in an environment that can stimulate cognitive development and help personal, social or education growth. Thus, such a space cannot provide enough different stimuli for a certain purpose, which should help them thinking in and realise the wider context. Between the age of 3-7 years, a child's brain develops very quickly, using play or various spatial experiences. With its plasticity, the brain offers us a large volume of memory space, where almost everything that a child under the age of 7 sees around him, is initially noted down. But what’s really important is what information remains in the memory and won’t disappear. This is precisely that kind of information that has been strongly supported and influenced by various stimuli, which can always be maintained better than the unsubstantiated constant repetition of situations. Here I tried to insert a multisensory experience, which is used by the blind and visually impaired people as a vital need when moving through space and to compensate their eyesight. This experience is strongly connected with emotions, which are the main element of all long-lasting memories and experiences that we remember. That is why it is appropriate to use multisensorialism also in a learning practice, whether this is led by a teacher or through free play. In children that are not visually impaired, multisensory stimuli can support healthy emotional development but also the formation of synapses in the brain. At the same time, I see as a benefit in inter-connecting of these two groups of children, because they can be an inspiration to each other in their differential processing of information from the surrounding environment. The aim of the work is to create an inclusive space for the sighted and sight-impaired. The aim for the space is to support the possibility of obtaining information using multiple stimuli, which are proposed to be designed within the object-functionality and the overall space of the preschool facility.
