Radchenko, Mark ; Marek, Jiří (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The task of the diploma thesis is the design of the sacral building of Salesians and community center in Brno – Líšeň. The founder of the Salesian order is the Italian priest John Bosco. The Salesian style stands on three pillars: reason, religion and kindness. It is a style of educational work, based on a preventive system and constant assistance. The Salesian congregation and subsequently the entire complex of the center in the urban district Brno-Líšeň received help from the foundation fund for youth, which he started in 1998 its construction. The proposed facility should cover the remaining needs of visitors and should be accessible to the general public. As a result, an architectural design was created, which includes an object of church with a parish section and a community center. The sacral object has a monumental appearance and its shape consists of a dominant cube standing on a monumental and long base, thus fitting into the contemporary surroundings and reacting to its overall structure. The composition is completed by a high concrete belfry. The entire complex consists of two masses connected by a covered colonnade. The first main mass includes a church with a rectory. The church can accommodate almost three hundred visitors. The parsonage serves as accommodation for the parish priest and other members of the congregation, and has access to the parish atrium. The second part of the complex is the community center with the main space of the multifunctional hall and administration.

Architectural study of the sacred building and the Salesian community center in Brno - Líšeň
Kręželoková, Tereza ; Žalmanová, Petra (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The assignment of the diploma thesis is the design of the Church of the Holy Spirit and at the same time a community center for the Salesians in Brno - Líšno. The Salesians are a Christian congregation that is especially dedicated to the education of the youth. Salesians have been active in Líšn since 1995, when the Salesian Youth Center began to be established here. The local community of believers currently does not have a church here that would meet the capacity requirements, the believers celebrate services in the gymnasium of the Salesian Youth Center. The goal of my work is to design a church where believers can celebrate services with dignity, and also a community center where the local community of people can meet and create community. The proposal also includes a rectory with apartments and facilities for priests. The land intended for construction is located in close proximity to the Salesian Youth Center. It lies on an elevated site in a rather sloping terrain. To the north of the property there is a polyclinic building. The surrounding development consists of panel apartment buildings, often with a height of up to eight floors. The shape of the building is based on the urban layout. The external plan shape of the building is rectangular and it is installed parallel to the building of the polyclinic and to the road. An ellipse is cut into the rectangle - the inner atrium. The elliptical floor plan of the church is inscribed in the atrium. The proposed building is divided into individual functional units: the Church of the Holy Spirit, the church grounds, the community center and the rectory. The church has an ellipse in plan and is lit only from above by means of skylights. These skylights symbolize the light of the Holy Spirit, coming from above. The interior of the church is defined by 24 columns. The church's facilities include a sacristy, a conference room, sanitary facilities and operational premises. An internal atrium is proposed between the community center and the church, around which the community center corridor leads. The community center includes a social hall for 120 people, which can be divided into two rooms with the help of a mobile partition, as well as a classroom, clubhouse and facilities. On the 2nd floor there are two priests' apartments and facilities for priests, which include a kitchen, library, offices and a chapel. The dominant element of the design is the tower, which serves as a belfry. A church courtyard will be created in front of the church, where seating, a water feature and also bicycle sheds are planned. At the staircase on the south side of the property, residential stairs will be created. The design also includes the modification of the surrounding green areas.

Architectural study of the sacred building and the Salesian community center in Brno - Líšeň
Jakubíková, Kateřina ; Boháč, Ivo (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
This final thesis deals with a design of an architectural study of a religious building and a community center for the Salesians in Brno-Líšen. Local Salesians have their Salesian center here adjacent to the discussed plot. They have been devoted to youth education for thirty years, following the example of their founder Don Bosco. However, they lack suitable spaces for conducting church services, meeting with worshippers, and other related activities. The architectural study deals with the design of The Church of the Holy Spirit with facilities for worshippers, which addresses the problem of a suitable spiritual place for church services. The complex is divided into three parts. The main feature of the design is the oval-shaped Holy Spirit church, which is intended to stand out and, at the same time, have a clean and positive impact on the surrounding slab blocks. Cleanliness and delicacy reflect into the interior of the church as well, where a white oval space and a monumental stained-glass window in the presbytery cast colorful reflections, creating an oasis for the soul and body. The oval-shaped church is composed of a central oval, in which the main space of the church for conducting church services for 400 worshippers is located, with a second oval that surrounds it and includes auxiliary functions for the church's operation, such as a sacristy, a room for parents with children, technical facilities, or a choir rehearsal room with the main organ in the second floor. The community center and the parish office form a single unit, symbolically linked by a courtyard. Together they form an L-shaped floor plan and their cubiform building contrasts with the oval dominance of the church. The community center directly adjoins the church from the north, providing hygienic facilities and a social hall for leisure activities such as religious education or meetings for worshippers. The parish office is a two-floor building, with technical facilities on the ground floor, a guest room with a bathroom, and a shared kitchen for the priest with an entrance to the courtyard, where they can spend time undisturbed. The second floor is purely private, housing the Salesians and their private chapel. The surrounding of the church is designed for both worshippers and the general public to rest, walk, and enjoy the green spaces with trees and benches for relaxation and enjoying the views of Brno and the distant Pálava. Visitors can walk the Stations of the Cross, which are part of the southern facade of the church in the form of stained-glass windows, or use the outdoor presbytery for church services and other events. Admirers of bells can be attracted by the hung bells on the southwest wall of the church, which will invite them to the church services.

Christian roots of modern pedagogy
Špunda, Pavel ; Bravená, Noemi (advisor) ; Dřímal, Ludvík (referee)
In this dissertation I analyze issues of Christian roots presentation in primary education. I also emphasis deviation from human being understanding - as being physical and spiritual. Actually physical dimension is preferred. I point to often forgotten pedagogical legacy of apostles saint Cyril and Metod, also their bravery related to the confidence in Jesus Christ legacy. Mentioned three church institutions are not mentioned in the education system, instead of Jesuits. In case of Jesuits, there is totally missing positive point of view and information about benefits for actual education model. This benefit I describe also for other two church institutions, piarists and salesians, whose are not implemented in to the logical documents. Also pedagogic legacy of Jan Amos Komensky is not presented as a work focused on both human dimensions and is limited only on practical part of his pedagogical work. That is why I emphasis those diversions and I described benefits of individual personalities and institutions, their sense and focus on human included, and not only his physical part, but also spiritual. In the end of my dissertation I propose way of Christian roots presentation in RVP ZV, I mention didactic tools useful for their learning at all levels and periods in primary education system.

Architectural study of the sacral object Brno - Líšeň / second stage
Šebela, Vojtěch ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The topic of the diploma thesis is the design of the Roman Catholic Church of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Brno Líšeň. The building will complement the needs of the Salesian community, which has been operating in the nearby Salesko youth house for almost 30 years and focuses on educating young people using methods from Don Bosco. The design of the church also envisages the construction of facilities for parishioners and accommodation for Salesians. It should also serve not only the current community, but also the general public. The design offers a solution how to modernize a building of these dimensions into an urban complex such as a housing estate in modern times. All this with an emphasis on minimizing the negative impacts on existing residents who use the surrounding areas for recreation. The building will consist of two functional units. The first will consist of a church building with a capacity of 300 seated and 100 standing parishioners. The second part will be a parish center with a community hall for 100 people. There will also be apartments for priests, a hobby workshop and parish offices.

Architectural study of the sacral object Brno - Líšeň
Mádr, Marián ; Žalmanová, Petra (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis is the design of a new Roman Catholic church with conveniences, which will be located in the city of Brno - Líšeň, in the northwestern part of the cadastral area Líšeň, on a sloping plot, between Horníkova and Molákova streets, near the youth center ("Saleska"). The church will serve the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Selesians, who are attended to the education and work with children and youth. The church will be dedicated to the third Divine Person of the Holy Spirit. The main aim of the church is to be a place of meeting in the community of believers, but also a quiet and peaceful place to meet God. The proposal will also consider the construction of a vicarage, which should be a meeting place for parishioners at various events with the possibility of accommodating the Salesians. The idea is proceeded on the main symbols of the Salesians. The design is based on the idea of a home, a circle, which symbolizes the family atmosphere. It is derived from three pillars. The sense, the religion and the kindness, standing on a triangular background that serve as points to create a community bounded by circles. This fellowship is defined by three circular segments in the form of reinforced concrete framework structures, each of them represents one of the divine persons of the Holy Trinity. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The gaps among the structures serve for such an illumination, which does not distract the attention from the church to the outside environment and preserves the peace and the spirituality in the interior.

Valová, Markéta ; Marek, Jiří (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor) ; Daněk, Lukáš (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis was to design a new building of Descent of the Holy Spirit Church in Brno – Líšeň (housing estate Vinohrady). Firstly, this task has been already solved as part of atelier work focusing on interior. Later, the engineering and construction solution was developed during this thesis. The aim was to design a decent place for celebration the holly Mass and for meeting the parish community, which shows its architectural, constructional, layout and art solution on the spiritual and transcendental aspect of the whole building. The Church is connected with Salesians, operating in Líšeň, which devote themselves to youth. The architecture of building is based on character of sacral and public building, and on bible motives too. The Church reminds a ship, which symbolizes the Church in the world, powered by the Holy Spirit. It shows the vocation of the first disciples – fishermen and worldwide presence of Salesians. The basilical lighting used in the main ship of the church refers to the first Christian buildings – the basilicas. The building is situated in specific environment – housing estate, on the top of the hill. It is divided into one-storey-high main ship based on an elliptic plan (building is two-storey-high in choir), which is rounded by the roof made from glued wooden timbers. Two lower block objects, containing the church facilities (sacristy, chapel, room for parents and children, sanitary facilities, etc.), are adjacent to the main ship. To the object is added the monumental entrance in the place of the main ship and a standalone tower – belfry, which makes the vertical dominant of the landscape. The horizontal axis is oriented in the north-south, the main entrance is situated in the north from the Horníkova street. The church is from the west followed by small square, intended not only for ceremonial processions connected with the religious ceremonies (open air holy masses), but for public use, too. The interior emphasizes art m

The substance of the thesis is concentrated in the fourth chapter which deals with the main points of Salesian pedagogy, its methodology and the use possibilities. After performing the history, the final chapter shows the Salesian fiary as a very actual fiary concerning pedagogical activities. With realisation the importance of alternative pedagogical styles the Salesians are becoming more popular or at least they are goal of our curiosity.
