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.

The new church Liskovec
Vrlová, Ela ; Žalmanová, Petra (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor) ; Čupr, Karel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was to evolve a study of the subject AG35 to the level of a Documentation of building permits and a Documentation for the execution of the project. The theme is a new building of a church at the Brno suburbs. Specifically, it is a land at Nový Lískovec that is currently not publicly used. The main subject of the task was situating new objects and establishing their functional usage concerning the existing buildings; including urbanist interventions, treatment of the present objects, driveways and designing new communications. Considerable part of work is focused on revitalization of the area for the general public´s recreation, demolishion of the existing buildings functionally unrelated to the topic and then the construction of the new church itself. The building program is based on individually designed solution in mind with the general requirements for the construction, decoration, interior and operation of the church and its purpose. The disposition and the shape of the building are solved simply and generously. The church consists of one above-ground floor and other necessary related operations included. Essential effort in solving this project was to develop the current state of the site and provide a promising usable future.

New synagogue Česká Lípa
Aulisa, Marco ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The new synagogue Česká Lípa, which is the subject of this diploma thesis, symbolizes a new beginning for the Jewish community in Česká Lípa. In addition to the synagogue itself, the building includes the administration of the Jewish community with private and public parts and a kosher restaurant for members of the Jewish community and the general public. An integral part of the synagogue is the Mikveh cleansing spa and the Holocaust memorial. The concept location of the synagogue and the monument has a strong connection with the original locations of the burned synagogues. Very important for the Jewish community is the spread of enlightenment, which will prevent current misinformation, both in the field of Jewish religion and in general, everyday topics depressing our society. The building of the synagogue is located in a very inhospitable area. It is necessary to prevent the ingress of noise from the adjacent road and to deal with the incomplete urban environment. Last but not least, the outdoor part of the building needs to be made so that it can be separated from the surrounding area, but at the same time it invites visitors to the center of the building. This is achieved by placing the building on an elevated pedestal. The mass of the building is divided into three basic functions and is supplemented by atriums, which visually connect the individual floors and support the natural air circulation for better cooling of the building in the summer months. To provide a more natural environment, the building is complemented by trees. The facade of the building is designed in a grid of pillars, which give the building a dignified character and at the same time break the long empty walls on the facade. Between the pillars there is a facade cladding. The entire facade system is painted in white.

Pastoral care of the sick and dying 1700-1900. Historical forms, topics, approaches.
DUDA, Zdeněk
The topic of the thesis is the issue of spiritual care of the ill and the dying at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is studied in the context of the reform of theological studies and the introduction of pastoral theology as a university discipline. The care of the ill and dying at that time was profiled as one of the most significant and important sphere of the activities of the spiritual shepherd as the only subject of pastoral care. The aim of the thesis is to describe the basic contents of the the spiritual care of the ill and the dying, based on the analysis of the first study texts of the subject of pastoral theology and the context in which they were written. It is focused on the basic points of departure, procedures and forms of spiritual care of the ill and the dying, which were as ideal and obligatory presented in the university teaching to future Catholic spiritual shepherds. At the same time, the relevant period notions of illness, death, (sacrament) of the last anointing, as well as the desired preparation for (good) death are also thematized. The main source are the first textbooks of the new university discipline of pastoral theology. The thesis is based primarily on two or rather three study texts, which received wider use in the Czech milieu.

Václav Smyčka, Psychoanalysis before psychoanalysis? Late Enlightenment interest in the unconscious and trauma
Smyčka, Václav
This study deals with the understanding of trauma, neurosis and the unconscious in psychological narratives and case studies during the late Enlightenment in the Czech lands, focusing on the texts of the philosopher, writer and naturalist Gottfried Immanuel Wenzel and the writer Christian Heinrich Spiess. It shows that the interest of these authors in these phenomena did not so much stem from emerging Romanticism as from the empirical Enlightenment teaching on the soul, and often from surprisingly archaic theories such as the Aristotelian concept of the soul and memory and the mechanical notion of the functioning of nerve fibres, based on the principle of vibration. In particular, Wenzel combined his reflections on neuroses with his research into dreams, displaced thoughts and the principles behind dream imagery, thus anticipating some of the theses of psychoanalysis.
