Proposal for a redesign of the exoterium of ZOO Brno
Kalábková, Tereza ; Boháč, Ivo (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis focuses on the redesign of Exoteria in the Brno Zoo, where the current structure is outdated and aesthetically unpleasing, barely meeting the needs of birds and lacking the necessary attractiveness for a facility of this kind. The goal of the thesis is to propose an innovative and functional solution in the form of four functional units: a bird pavilion, an aquarium pavilion, facilities for staff, and a refreshment facility. The architectural design combines an ecological approach with the concept of open architecture, aiming to connect visitors with nature and animals. It offers an open space in the outdoor aviary of the bird pavilion and features a green element with a vegetative façade for the refreshment facility. The aquarium pavilion is envisioned as a multifunctional center for meetings and education, allowing for lectures, film screenings, and other cultural events that connect visitors with the underwater world. The thesis delves into the details of the aquarium pavilion and the refreshment facility. The proposal involves the removal of overgrown vegetation and trees, with a priority on minimizing impacts on the natural environment. Simultaneously, the thesis suggests replanting new trees to preserve ecological balance. The work is based on the architectural design studio in the fourth year, with a focus on interior design.

Exotarium
Přítulová, Anna ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the Exotárium pavilion in the Brno ZOO, which supposed to replace the existing building, which no longer meets the spatial, hygienic or technical requirements. The building is located in the center of the ZOO area at the intersection of several visitor routes. Conceptually, the design is divided into two buildings – the tropics pavilion dedicated to Papua New Guinea and pavilion of inland Australia. These two buildings are connected on the underground level by a technical floor. Areas for animals are adapted for the breeding of exotic birds, small mammals and fish. The pavilion is divided longitudinally into three tracts – technical and hygienic facilities, corridors for visitors and indoor aviaries. The building is equipped both for the preparation of feed and the care of animal health, as well as for the rearing of young. In the center of the layout is the central space for visitors and the Water world. The extended area of the corridor is equipped with furniture and presentation equipment, which can also be used for lectures and events for schools. The dominant element of the space for visitors is the acoustic ceiling consisting of prisms of different lengths of green wood wool. This ceiling is intended to create the impression of a canopy of a tropical forest. The curved wall between the aviaries and the corridor is intended to offer unconventional views into the aviaries, but still provide the animals with sufficient privacy. The building is serviced through a staff entrance on the south-east side of the building and the technical facilities are accessible via an unpaved road on the underground level from the south-west slope below the Australia pavilion building. This route is only used to transport the technological equipment of the building. The building, with its predominantly gray and contrasting interior, corresponds with the Australia pavilion, where more earthy colors are used. The buildings are united mainly by the facade and are connected by the construction of through external aviaries.

Exotarium ZOO Brno
Kučera, Jiljí ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor thesis is the design of a pavilion for the Australia - New Guinea exhibition in Brno Zoo. The building serves mainly as an exposition and home for exotic species of birds, small mammals and fish. The building should meet all the conditions of buildings for the public, working conditions for employees and animal welfare. The area under consideration is located in the premises of the Brno Zoo, in the northern part of the district of Bystrc. The construction site is located roughly in the middle of the zoo at the crossroads between the Tropical Pavilion and the African Village. The relatively sloping, irregular plot is accessible from the north and east sides by a campus road. The kangaroo enclosure is directly adjacent to the west side, while the bison and camel enclosures are located to the north, across the road. The resulting design consists of a two-storey building that follows the contour line of the site. It is a building composed of two regular masses of rectangular plan. The upper smaller mass is superimposed on the lower larger mass. The pavilion includes indoor and outdoor aviaries, terrariums, aquariums, staff facilities, animal facilities and food preparation. The facade of the Exotarium imitates the red rock typical of Australia. It is made up of an ETICS system to which a moulded polystyrene layer and a painted surface will be added. An extensive green roof with aviaries is proposed on the main building. The design includes a small plaza to provide shade for visitors. Two buildings are proposed within the square - refreshments and public toilets. The bachelor thesis is based on documents in the form of assignment, dwg drawing of the cadastral situation and architectural study from the course BGA036 - Architectural Atelier 5.

Chov sklípkanů (Mygalomorphae) v zoologických zahradách
KUBEČKOVÁ, Jitka
The content of the thesis is a summary of the current knowledge on the biology of the mygalomorphae (Mygalomorphae) together with an evaluation of the results of its breeding in zoological gardens in the Czech Republic and its placement in the context of European zoological gardens. As background data for the evaluation of breeding in the Czech Republic, the yearbooks of the Union of Czech and Slovak Zoological Gardens (USCZOO) from 2013-2022 are used. As a source of data for the evaluation of the breeding of the skink in Europe, the international database ZIMS (Zoological Information Management System) is used, from which a report up-to-date as of March 2024 was used.

Breeding of Martens (Mustelidae) in zoos
TOMŠOVICOVÁ, Tereza
The aim of the study was to evaluate the breeding of martens in the Czech Republic. In this thesis the breeding in the Czech Republic and in Europe is monitored. In my work, I monitor the period between 1990-2021. Data on the Czech Republic were taken mainly from the yearbooks of Czech and Slovak zoological gardens. The data on breeding in Europe were drawn from the Species 360 database (Zoological Information Managament System). There are 14 species of martens in the Czech Republic. One of the most successful zoos was Chomutov zoo, which managed to breed a total of 47 Siberian weasel (Mustela sibrica). Another success story for Czech zoos is the breeding of the small otter, where a total of 79 cubs were bred between 1990 and 2021.

Design and Implementation of the Geographical Information System of Zoo in Bratislava
Yakshin, Nikita ; Ďuračiová, Renata
Creating a Geographic Information System (GIS) is a complex, step-by-step process that involves requirements analysis, creating the system's architecture, data acquisition, and implementation. This project outlines the development of a user-friendly GIS, using Bratislava ZOO as a case study. The paper describes the process of creating a GIS from formulating tasks to full practical implementation. The result is a website with four geoinformation modules: engineering networks, infrastructure, visitor app, greenery, and a file library. This project can serve as a reference for similar spatial object management systems in parks and other areas.

Zoos as socially constructed institutions in changing social and territorial contexts
Nekolný, Lukáš ; Fialová, Dana (advisor) ; Šantrůčková, Markéta (referee) ; Boltižiar, Martin (referee)
This dissertation deals with research of the zoo as a social construct, which in its history and form represents the development of the relationship between society and nature, or man and animals. At the same time, it is a specific cultural landscape reflecting other changes in paradigms and needs in society. The current form of zoos has always reflected various economic, political, environmental and cultural aspects, or opinion and spatial changes of society. This work is a contribution to the discussion of the application of thematization typical of contemporary experience-oriented society. The aim of the thesis is to characterize the development of zoos and their current form in Europe, where this concept originated at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, and to discuss regional differences regarding the different geographical context of the post-socialist space. From the geographical point of view, this is a topic rarely addressed so far, both from a theoretical (the zoo as an example of the specific landscape) as well as a regional approach. The first part provides a theoretical framework by means of a discussion of scientific literature and formulating the starting points of the research based on selected concepts and paradigms (social constructivism, the relationship between man and...

Zoos within the structure and functioning of European cities
Mati, David ; Tichý, Jan (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The main topic of this bachelor thesis is a comparison of a Brno city and a Zoo Brno, as representatives of European cities and zoos, regarding their structure, functioning, operation, their mutual influence and cooperation. The thesis deals with certain features that occur in urban and zoo structures and with the demonstration of individual analyses. These include, for example, analyses of planning development documentation, transport infrastructure, management and financing methods, engineering networks, or public space amenities. Evaluation of these analyses will reveal whether zoos and cities have the same, similar or completely different structure. The introductory part of the thesis deals with the origin of zoos, their development, common factors, contexts, and their influence on the structure of many European cities.
