Transformation of suburban villages
Ferenc, Jonáš ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Šilhánková, Vladimíra (referee) ; Balabánová, Pavla (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The thesis discusses suburban villages (and, indirectly, also villages that are even further away from urban areas), their current character, and their changes over the course of history. Most Bohemian, Moravian and Silesian municipalities struggle with persistent issues, such as the decline of their primarily agrarian function (and the unattractiveness of this lifestyle for the younger generations), changes in demographic composition (the exodus of natives to cities, and their replacement by “weekenders“), the lower purchase power of rural areas (due to lower wages in agriculture and the lack of other job opportunities), insufficient traffic infrastructure, unclear property relations, the loss of their own identity due to the closeness of a core city, and uncontrolled suburbanisation which transforms both villages and their environment. The end effects of these issues are depopulation of rural areas, ageing of current inhabitants and unfavourable prospects for the future. On the other hand, the situation in neighbouring Bavaria seems to be the exact opposite. Bavaria hasn't experienced collectivisation, and a communist dictatorship hasn't cut the ties of local inhabitants towards their lands and properties which have been in their families for centuries. Many issues encountered in the Czech Republic are therefore unknown here, and villages that happen to be near urban areas tend to grow in a natural way while retaining their original rural and local identities. The superior infrastructure network enables better mobility of the populace, which allows the people to commute longer distances. However, they can still spend their time in their actual place of residence, and they often proudly consider themselves a part of the local social life and of the local community – not of the core city. Therefore the goal of the thesis is to compare Czech and Bavarian villages in terms of sustainable development, using specific examples, to analyse which elements are better in which system, and to compare whether it is possible to apply the principles of sustainability which are used in Bavaria to the sustainable development of Czech countryside.

Ambivalence of Identity: Cultural Traditions As a Theme in Contemporary Czech and Slovak Art
Maixner, Miroslav ; Klodová, Lenka (referee) ; Janečková,, Zuzana (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation focuses on the phenomenon of a new presence of references to traditional folk culture in contemporary Czech and Slovak art. Emphasis is placed on the period from the year 2000 to the present. The core of the work consists of chapters devoted to artists who in this period significantly thematized various aspects of traditional folk culture, either as a partial element of specific projects or in the form of continuous interest in the field. The essence of this part is to show the breadth and heterogeneity of the examined manifestations across the media spectrum. The main purpose of the work is to analyze and place the researched phenomena in a relevant context within the theory and history of art. The reason is their different nature from thematically similar manifestations in the 19th and 20th centuries. In addition, when compared with current trends abroad, a number of connections are shown, such as links to environmental issues, criticism of the state of society and, above all, to new issues related to personal and collective identification. Therefore, I base the analysis of these phenomena on a hybrid interdisciplinary basis using theoretical approaches to identity in the social sciences and humanities. I do so in the introductory theoretical chapters, but the main focus is on the final analytical synthesis. To a large extent, it also builds on data obtained from interviews with artists, the transcripts of which the reader will find in the appendix. Finally, the documentation of curatorial projects and exhibitions realized as a practical part of the dissertation project is attached.

Válka Winery Nosislav
Radchenko, Mark ; Myslín,, Jiří (referee) ; Boleslavská, Yvona (advisor) ; Šuhajda, Karel (advisor)
On a basis of my project of the second year of bachelor's study on the Faculty of Civil Engineering the following bachelor's thesis is prepared, which goes on to the Documentation for Building Permit and Documentation for Construction. The theme of the work is Family Winery Válka in the village of Nosislav. The bachelor's thesis is the Family Winery Válka. The basic idea of my project was to create a modern wine-making complex and a guest house. There were designed objects for production, sales and housing. The Family Winery includes a winemaker's house, a bouquets store, warehouses, a refuelling hall, a pressing hall, sheds for storing devices and parking, a house with a brigadier's dressing room, administration and apartment. The production complex includes warehouses, tank room and pressing machines room. Its structure is made up of steel elements. Facades of buildings are made of wooden cladding and black interlocking metal cladding panels. The buildings have a gable type and shed type of roofs. Other objects have a brick system. The restaurant building is located on the southwest side of the property, has a two above-ground floors. 1st floor is partially embedded into the ground, on the 2nd floor the wall on the north-eastern side is made of a glass facade to the better lighting of space. At the top of the land, there is a residential building that constitute a guest house. The building has two floors and serves as accommodation. From the side of the main entrance, the building has the characteristic appearance of family house. From the inside of the territory, the facade of the pension becomes more interesting by expanding the ground floor and adding large terrace doors. My choice of facade and roof solution fell on wood because it is an amazing material that looks great in combination with almost everything that exists, and even after years, the miraculous power of trees can be felt.

Turcovský, Štefan ; Šindlar, Jiljí (referee) ; Marek, Jiří (advisor)
Hole idea of this design connects to existing situation and state, to historical, artistic significance of this region. The concept coming out of two main representants of life and history of Jasenov (Jasenov castle, Jasenov healing spring) and is coupled with new form, that is represented in form of Regional museum. First part includes analysis of area and surroundings, wider relationships, history and landmarks nad memories, static analysis of state of Jasenov castle and it's consequences on concept. Second part includes design of Jasenov healing spring. This place is historically significant because of effect on historical progress. For this place I designed „spiritua“ place, place for relaxation. Main part is represented by particular form, form that is inpired by classical chapels and churches of this region of Zemplin. Around main design, there are 23 rocks for sitting, that represents 23 families ( These families were really significant for hole progress and history of this village). Hole place communicates with it's surroundings, nature and gently complement this area. Third part deals with Museum of Region. Museum serves not only for representation of history, but also like place for relax, exibitions, performances ( amphiteather for 250 people), representation of traditional manufacturing and folklor. Concept consist of 7 main houses, in center of area si amphiteather/ park. Forms organicly conncets with nature, terrain in similar style like traditional architecture of Zemplin. Museum is alcou main crossroad of turistic paths (Humenné- Jasenov castle, Húbková- Chlmec, Jasenov castle- Krivoštianka).

Community
Luksch, Vojtěch ; Tischler, Marek (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
In my bachelor thesis I focus on topics from my surroundings. Because I live in a village I deal with ordinary things that are typically associated with it, such as landscape, pub motives, corners of the village, etc. I am looking for a certain lyricism in these common topics and I try to express my feeling and relationship to the topic. I mix peace and a pleasant slowdown in life in the countryside with my feelings of loneliness and sadness. I try to transfer these feelings to the watcher.

WINERY MARCINČÁK NOVOSEDLY
Milošová, Vendula ; Hudeček, Vladimír (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor) ; Donaťáková, Dagmar (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is based on an architectural study of the subject Atelier's work AG032 and a design study of the subject of the Comprehensive Project AG036. The award contained several requests from the investor. The subject of this bachelor thesis is the design of a new-build winery in the village of Novosedly. Sorted parcels with parcel numbers 5844/2, 5764/29, 5764/55 and 5764/3 on which the building project is located and is located in the cadastral territory of the municipality of Novosedly. The main access to the property is from the main road 414 and further along the asphalt road, which also serves as a cycleway. The building is situated near the property boundary, i.e. its northwest side. From the very situation emerges the basic concept of the project, which is to try to build a new domination of the village, while respecting the surroundings of the vineyards. One of the goals is to combine production, tasting and accommodation into one complex whole. The final design was influenced by the view of long-distance views from the area to the surrounding area (on Pálava) and another equally important one, by the creation of a resting place and meeting of people who go specifically for wine tasting or a selfless view of the surrounding area. The proposed building is two-storey, partially sunk in the terrain, when I took advantage of a large high jump in the terrain. On the first floor there is wine production and storage for subsequent export or preservation of wine. On the second above-ground floor there are areas for visitors, namely tasting and accommodation. A characteristic feature of the building is the saddle roof, which floats on the Old Mountain, thanks to considerable glass and lightening by means of columns. An important point of the proposal is the creation of a closed but open space (courts).

Two-generation housing in Slovakia
Šebová, Petra ; Jančok, Martin (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The proposal deals with the topic of living in multi-generational family houses built in Slovakia in the 1970’s. Despite the former ability of the owners to adapt the original architects’ plan towards their own preferences, nowadays they feel discomfort using the house. The image of multi-generational usage of the house turned out to be false over the time. Currently the houses are only partially inhabited and the demanding maintenance of the large house is increasingly difficult for its original inhabitants, who are usually already retired. The project suggests transformation of the large family houses into flats while at the same time presents an alternative to the development of municipal housing in the village, currently planned by local authorities.

Environment-Friendly Housing in Rural Areas
Čáslava, Petr ; RNDr.Jiří Svoboda,CSc.,DSc. (referee) ; Hudec, Mojmír (referee) ; Gaillyová, Yvonna (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (advisor)
While I spent 7 years of study, experience and dedication to this work, the building construction has passed evolution from construction boom to contemporary building crisis. Demand for cheap building construction, materials and family housing increased sharply. Energy prices are rising every year... It seems that we will all have to deal with our essential task today or in the near future . This task is mean to prevent the current rate of degradation and destruction of our planet's climate and our environment. In this point of view, it looks the question of energy-saving construction very topical. By entering the study was to examine the possibilities of environmental friendly housing in rural areas in terms of environmental issues. My hypothesis was if can I determine the suitable candidate for the construction of passive houses themselves by comparing their characteristic of pre-defined construction samples. My objective is to offer builders and designers overview of suitable building systems with the possibility to compare the various factors influencing the decision on the selection of a builder´s construction for a house. The thesis presents the comparison of seven structural systems as a basic element of architecture. In the implementation of energy-efficient house is an architectural form often conditioned by structure. For this reason it is necessary to offer this kind of overview with options and parameters of individual building systems, which can then be used by architect to design a house for the builder - free and easy realization of his own, let´s say DIY (do it yourself). For builders (mean investors) of DIY houses is economy and finance a crucial question, therefore, for this reason I will evaluate suitable building system which is relative performance vs. price in the end. It is necessary to take into account the architecture of the house and especially the space layout and design and the attitude with the context of the rural areas environment. My pupose was to prove that good architectural design can be used with of low-cost, energy-saving and environmental friendly house built in DIY way.

Life in the isolation
Jankovichová, Ludmila ; Fabián, Ondřej (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The answer to what Zaježová is, can be simple. Zaježová are so called „lazy“. Zaježová is perceived by the outside world - society - primarily as an alternative community of people living in coexistence with nature, and “Zaježová” presents itself “in this way”. Personally, I think that Zaježová is defined mainly by the strong individualities of people who are able to say about themselves and present that they live in a community. Last but not least, Zaježová is a place where I spent a large part of my childhood, because my parents belonged to these strong individuals and decided to live life “alone”. My work tries to capture what Zaježová is through various media, including architecture. The output is a set of atypical tourist maps and a proposal to transform the former fire station into a gallery.
