Architecture of the extreme
Kučerová, Kristýna ; Wlazel, Adam (referee) ; Kaftan, Martin (advisor)
Extreme conditions in both the climate, and socio-political sphere, that is east african South Sudan. The recently concluded peace after tens of years of uncertainty means a new beginning and hope for a better tomorrow. After the constant displacement of the local population due to the neverending conflicts and resurging civil wars, the inhabitants can now return to their home territory, where they will have to buildtheir homes from scratch. One of the most important aspects for the development of any society is a stable home. With regard to the traditional communal way of life, it is natural to think about new and improved possibilities of construction in these areas. Is it possible to create something new with the help of materials available on site? Can we involve locals in the construction, train them, and help create new job opportunities in the process? How to deal with the hot tropical climate and the lack of purified water without the need for too much energy, while still raising the standards of living of the locals?

Architecture of the Extreme, Desert Shed, is a search for as many aspects of extremity of site-specific design for the Northern-Nevada desert as possible. Physical, geographical and climate extremity, absence of urbanism, scale and architectural context. Psychological and sociological extremity of solitude and abandonedness, but also co-sharing of architecture and ownership of the un-surveillanceable. Extremeness of the economical situation and its development, extreme transformations of the phenomena of second homes and their usage throughout time and into the future. Dialogue between sedentary and nomadic. What does recreational living for a contemporary family in an extreme situation at an extreme location look like and what sort of scenarios must it be prepared for, once the architect is out of the picture?

Špániková, Michaela ; Wlazel, Adam (referee) ; Kaftan, Martin (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the design of a mountain building with a function of a shelter for tourists and a field workplace for workers of state forests of TANAP (Tatra National Park). With its size and function, the proposed building gently supports the development of this protected area of the Belianske Tatras. The building is designed in the constantly changing external conditions of the mountain environment (change of seasons, low temperatures, strong wind ..) so that the indoor environment is as stable and comfortable as possible. The aim is to create a building with an optimal indoor climate, minimal energy requirements and high spatial quality. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to use appropriate materials and an efficient technical system.

The aim of this bachelor thesis is a new building proposal of a mountain hostel in an inhospitable conditions of czech mountains, concretely on a flank of the mountain Jelenka located in CHKO Jeseníky, not too far from the mountain Praděd. The building is situated in a location of former hunting lodge Alfrédka where many summer and winter tourist trails intersect and therefore it is a frequent place of rest for tourists, cyclists and cross-country skiers. On the other hand the locality is quite isolated from civilisation and its visit rate is dependent on tourism, which is something program of proposed building reacts to. The building can serve as a place of refreshment during hikes through the Jeseníky mountains, as a night haven for whole-weekend tours, or as a hinterland for educational school trips. Above all it provides a place where people of similar interests can get to know each other and share their travelling experience. The proposal is focused on utilisation of local energy potential which is hidden in climatic conditions of mountain regions of the Czech republic. Furthermore it is focused on evaluation of energetic loads and gains with a usage of modern computational methods and on simulating of light behavior in space. Chosen architectonic solution is a polygonal building insetted into the flank which opens towards tourist trails and a public space and on the contrary closes towards family housing so that it does not disturb its privacy. The building is inserted into convex part of the terrain and is connected to it from above so that it becomes its own part.
