Between Heaven and Earth
Nečesal, Marek ; Ryška, Zbyněk (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the concept of reusing empty rectories. Besides proposing revitalization plans for three buildings, the analytical part also examines the development of parish typology, exploring the influences and historical events that led to their current state. It analyzes over 60 buildings to investigate current reuse practices and uses statistical indicators to forecast the development of this typology. The analysis concludes with establishing basic principles for sustainable reuse of empty rectories. These principles are then applied in the design section to three different buildings in the Žďár Deanery, selected to match the varying character of the surrounding urbanism. The first rectory is located in Horní Bobrová in the middle of the square, the second building is in Štěpánov nad Svratkou within street development, and the last object stands on the edge of the village of Strážek. The search for a new possible concept for each building was based not only on site analyses but also on firsthand surveys of all buildings including adjacent agricultural structures, analysis of the local parish, and interviews with parishioners. Ultimately, a unique solution enabling sustainable operation was chosen for each site, some of which have been empty for more than two decades.

Working on updates!

How to work with school buildings that have been standing here for many years and are designed in the style of teaching from the last century? How to respond to a time when the approach to both the education of teachers themselves and to teaching itself is rapidly changing? I perceive that the layout of most of today's school buildings lags behind the requirements of current teaching styles. School management is trying to deal with this problem, but despite the efforts they put into it, these spaces still play the role of backdrops in teaching. I think that the school building itself should be a creative and stimulating environment that provides a helping hand to teachers in teaching and children in their development. The diploma thesis follows on from the pre-diploma project, in which I research topics related to the issue of school teaching and its environment. It is about the development and functioning of modern approaches to teaching, their requirements for space, developmental psychology and understanding the context in the construction of school buildings in the Czech Republic from the 16th century. to present. In conclusion, based on research and analysis, I define the principles that I try to apply in my diploma thesis to a specific proposal for the reconstruction of a school building from the 1980s.

My new room-mate: The Epilepsy+
Mívaltová, Markéta ; Veit, Jakub (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Each of us has been dealt different cards in life. Some better, some worse. Some rich, some poor. Some healthier, some less so. Some happier, some less so. Each of us faces different challenges and opportunities. But that's life; no person in the world gets the same cards. However, in the end, it doesn't matter whether you drew an ace or not. It doesn't matter what cards you were dealt, but how you handle them. It matters whether you exchange them for others and better ones, or whether you keep them until the end of your life. Life is like a game, and nobody knows how it will turn out. Some are better players, others worse. But what if you draw a card with epilepsy? Could you still play a quality game with this card? How much will it affect your life? Undoubtedly, it will impact life much more than anyone who hasn't experienced something similar can imagine. Epilepsy is a chronic condition that means living with constant uncertainty. Uncertainty about when and where a seizure will strike. Uncertainty about how others will react to you. Uncertainty about how to cope with physical and psychological consequences. People with epilepsy often feel lonely, misunderstood, or rejected. However, housing is just as crucial for them as it is for anyone else. Because it's a space where they seek refuge and safety. A space where they should have the opportunity to live fully and with dignity. Unfortunately, many of them don't have the option to choose suitable housing that would meet their specific needs and financial means. So, how to design housing for people with epilepsy that would enable them to live contentedly and happily? This work attempts to find an answer to this question. The goal is to explore the relationship between epilepsy and spatial organization and to propose various typologies of housing that would respect the individual needs and preferences of this group of people. The work also utilizes modern technologies that can help improve the daily functioning of people with epilepsy, while also providing them with greater independence and control over their lives. The aim of the work is to show that people with epilepsy also have the right to quality housing that would help them realize their dreams and goals. To help them play their life game a little easier with an additional card. The theoretical part of the project, besides the disease itself, also addressed possible connections with the positive or negative effects of the surrounding environment on epileptics. Considerations were given to factors such as the impact of color, materials, sound, smell, temperature, as well as the safety of the space, which is undoubtedly a primary requirement in design. Following the theoretical research part of this project, I decided to propose suitable housing for epileptics in the practical part, adapted to their specific needs, both spatially and, for example, in the associated functions of the building, while still meeting the requirements of full-fledged urban living. The primary function in the design will be housing, to which additional functions will logically be added, such as accessible healthcare or leisure activities for residents.

city dodgyness
Vasková, Dominika ; Kocián, Václav (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis "Ošemetnosti mesta" is based on knowledge from the pre-diploma project, in which I got to know the life of homeless people and the places where they live. The work is focused on vague places in Bratislava and the subsequent design of temporary objects in these places. The objects and their function respond to the destigmatization of people in crisis situations who are exposed to falling into the spiral of poverty. They create impulses for a better grasp of these places and work with them, as well as the inclusion of socially excluded groups of people in society.

To experience
Strohnerová, Tereza ; Stibitz, Bibiana (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Space for the birth of new life, providing women and their families with continuous care in an intimate and safe environment. This could be the first birthing center in the Czech Republic. A concept of care, tested over the years and through studies abroad, offering women the option to choose it as one of the birthplace options. In the thesis, a birthing center in the countryside is created using a model situation. It will be located in a calm and family-oriented environment, in connection with the Krnov maternity hospital.

In the gardens
Nejeschleba, Vojtěch ; Říčný, Jan (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
In my thesis I deal with the theme of the garden in relation to housing and in relation to the city. I apply the theme to the design of a new neighbourhood in the Olomouc suburb of Hejčín. In the design, I refer to the local context both by the chosen theme, but also by the scale and compositional arrangement. I am looking for soft boundaries between private and public space. I am exploring the possibilities of shared gardens. I look for living in community and in gardens.

Our pub
Velechovská, Nela ; Jung, Adam (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
A free evening, a gathering with friends, a celebration, or a stop on a journey. All of these are provided by the pub. A Czech phenomenon, so uniquely ingrained in our culture, whose characteristics extend far beyond just the taproom with beer foam and clinking glasses. Over time, it has taken on various forms, its development influenced by numerous external factors. However, we can confidently say that its traits endure in any era or manifestation. Tradition, a sense of belonging, communication, and above all, a refuge where time changes its pace. A place that welcomes its guests with open arms and assurance. The thesis responds to the current state of pub culture in the Sudeten region of Bruntálsko and Rýmařovsko, presenting a manual for Czech pubs with a specific application to the conceptual vision in the given area. It builds upon a pre-diploma project summarizing the evolution and function of pubs over time. The proposal is informed by insights gained from observing the phenomenon. It engages with existing establishments, aiming to breathe life into them and proposing ways to approach them in the present day.

The world, and the European continent in particular, is getting older by the year. In the future, the number of older people will form an increasing part of society, facing many challenges as a result of emerging social imbalances. The pressure on young people will be enormous. It is up to us to analyze and prepare for the society of the elderly. One of the main challenges society will face is the growth of diseases linked to older age. One of the most common diseases of older people is dementia. Dementia is a group of diseases associated with impairment of brain function and ability to perform daily functions. The graduate work in the analytical part maps the causes, symptoms and treatment methods of dementia and its influence on the architectural solution. The outputs from the analytical part will be applied in a specific architectural project.

bluery
Voldán, Martin ; Gabriel, Michael (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
We've lost water. We've lost natural contact with it. Thanks to climate change, we find ourselves in a situation where we either have too much water - flash floods and melting snow, or we have a shortage during increasingly frequent droughts. Solutions are nowhere in sight. We're borrowing water from underground reserves and not planning to repay it. And yet, when it does rain, the water slips through our fingers straight out of the cities. Go away! It is necessary to reintegrate water into the everyday functioning of the city, perceive it as a fundamental part equivalent to any other infrastructure, such as greenery. Greenery = bluery. It is necessary to retain water in place. More water won't just appear, drinking water is scarce, so it's not only reasonable but crucial for our future to preserve at least a drop or two. Visible with the invisible. Visible surface flags, imaginary cherries on the technological cake in the form of underground cathedrals or banks. Aqua bank.

Always ready
Pavlíčková, Tereza ; Blažek, Martin (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
In the pursuit of an adaptable, accessible, and secure form of protection to safeguard citizens against unforeseen influences, the proposal addresses the inadequate capacities and coverage of shelters for the civilian population in the Czech Republic. Three examples, illustrating the integration of these structures into the existing urban fabric, also demonstrate their ability to change function depending on current conditions, needs, and the potential for adapting the structure to the site's context. Throughout the proposal, I drew upon analyses of existing civil defense shelters in the Czech Republic, which often serve solely as passive shelters, contrasting them with shelters worldwide that are not only utilised during crises but also function as fully functional multifunctional spaces in everyday life.
