Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Richnavská, Dominika ; Eichlerová, Eva (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to design a residential complex on the territory of the city of Brno, ideally on the site of a brownfield or on an inappropriately used land such as a horticultural land. The design should take into account trends in housing and construction and also offer solutions to current social problems. As the selected area for the thesis I have chosen the gardening complex on Žlutý Kopec, which is located at a relatively short distance from the city centre. New studies and projects are already being developed in the area to better use its potential and to make it more accessible. In the project, I am focusing on an alternative way of building - baugruppe, which is better known in neighboring countries but offers us a chance to find interesting housing solutions in contrast to development projects. That gives residents the opportunity to create individual solutions that suit each of them while finding a compromise for living together in peace and contentment. The area mostly consists of flats, but we can find there also smaller premises such as gym, coworking, etc. The addition of outdoor activities, playgrounds and sitting areas completes the whole of participatory living with strong social ties.

The Role of Coin Production and its Acceptance in Shaping the Power Structure of Early Medieval Czech Society
Kratochvíl, Jan ; Štemberk, Jan (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Květina, Petr (referee)
The Ph.D. theses Role of Coin Production and Acceptance in Shaping the Power Structure of Early Bohemian medieval society discusses the earliest historical payment instruments,which appearance is assumed to have occurred in Bohemia in the 10th century. It looks at them, however, through a non-economic prism, the establishment of which is preceded by a critique of existing interpretations. The subject of the research are Slavic payment clothes and the oldest denarii minted in the Bohemian Duchy. The thesis formulates a new hypothesis about the way in which Slavic clothes could have fulfilled certain functions that we nowadays identify with payment. This hypothesis is based on the assumption of a different organization of economic relations in early medieval society. On the basis of this assumed organisation of social relations, a social crisis is subsequently reconstructed, the reflection of which is identified in the St Wenceslas legends, for which a new source of inspiration, Livy's Ab urbe condita libri, is also revealed. The hypothesis about the functioning of Slavic payment clothes is thus subsequently linked with the sources into a broader interpretative whole. The coins are viewed in this work in a chartalist and practical metallist manner, in opposition to the theoretical metallist approach....

The Call of the Wild

Architecture is a fundamental element of cultural heritage, and the restoration of historic buildings can be key to preserving the heritage of past generations. By studying the historical context, we can better understand the meaning of the building and the role it played in its time. This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the recreation of the Spa Sivá Brada, which was once an important social center in the local region. Unfortunately, due to the controversial events that took place during the period of communism and the beginnings of the independent Slovak Republic, the spa is no longer standing today. The work deals with the historical significance of the spa and its impact on the local community. The study also analyzes the potential benefits of the recreation of the spas, such as the use of the potential of the healing waters in the area or the tourism increase. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to point out the importance of the Spa Sivá brada restoration and to stimulate a public debate through a comprehensive analysis of the history, current state and potential design of the Spa Sivá Brada.

The Call of the Wild

Recreation is undergoing great changes nowadays, people are again longing for nature, which gives them peace and rest from everyday worries. However, recreational areas in the Czech Republic often do not meet the requirements of today. One such requirement is that the area should be barrier-free and provide facilities for cyclists. The work focuses on the Elbe Trail, which is popular not only in the Czech Republic but also attracts a large number of foreign cyclists. However, there is not a sufficient network of campsites to provide sufficient facilities for them. The design of the new site in Bílá Třemešná corresponds to all these aspects and with its modern nature-inspired appearance provides attractive facilities not only for cyclists, but also for visitors to the Královédvorská Zoo and all those looking for a quiet place for a break from today‘s hectic times.

The subject of the bachelor thesis is the revitalization of the non-functional recreation area in Manínská Tiesňava, in the Považská Teplá district. The project restores the function of accommodation to the area and adds new functions to it so that its operation is sustainable throughout the year and meets modern requirements for temporary accommodation. It creates a new economic value in the locality and brings back the once developed tourism to the place. It deals with the sustainability of both operations and the use of renewable energy sources. The design is in harmony with the landscape and through inspiration from local traditional architecture, uses proven building principles in the selected location.

The bachelor thesis focuses on the revitalization and modern design of the current Olšovec campsite. This campsite in Jedovnice was chosen because it does not meet current requirements and its lucrative location creates an opportunity that is not fully exploited. The work focuses not only on revitalisation but also on taking into account current trends and adapting to the requirements of existing clients. The overall design is created in the style of ecology and symbiosis of architecture with nature.

This project is a response to the call of the wilderness, and similarly to a trip to the desolate, inhospitable mountains, this work was a departure from the comfort zone of an urban environment. The project deals with an alternative view of the site of a former recreational area located in the protected landscape area of the Jeseníky Mountains, surrounded by mature trees on a hillside below a forest, in the village of Ostružná in northern Moravia. The proposal approaches this site with respect to the character of the Jeseníky Sudeten Mountains and creates a recreational area with a natural structure of buildings, which does not overpower the surrounding nature in its scale but fits in sensitively and unobtrusively. At the same time, the design reflects current requirements and needs of visitors, who seek an escape from a busy civilisation to a peaceful environment. In its essence and form the project seeks to distinguish itself from the former hotel and its forthcoming resurrection. On the contrary, it aims to build on an established morphology, supplementing it only with new elements, so that the new creation is still harmonious with the character of the landscape.
