Detached Family Residence
Mikuš, Martin ; Vávra, Petr (referee) ; Vajkay, František (advisor)
The subject of this work is the design of a detached family house in area Nove Domky near Jihlava in which natural construction materials were used. Instead of concrete or bricks, this building is designed with materials such as straw, rock, timber, clay, hemp or sheep's wool. Furthermore, the work deals with methods of plumbing, electrical installations and heating. The possible utilization of natural energy resources or ecological processing of waste were also taken into account. The conclusion contains the financial comparison with a building where traditional and industrially produced materials are used.

The optimalization of clay building components
Melichar, Jindřich ; Šiler, Pavel (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
Clay building components are nowadays one of the most used building materials in the world. Except easy availability and processability clay building components have also heat storage function. This master´s thesis will be considering possibilities of improving thermal and mechanic properties of these materils by additing suitable reinforcements.

From sea to summit
Staniczek, Jan ; Solčáni, Ján (referee) ; Šrámek, Jan (advisor)
In my thesis I try to convey strange feelings that are inherently connected with post-anthropocentric, ecological thinking of inter-object coexistence, through an installation of a series of clay speakers. From a theoretical point of view, I rely upon Fisher's conception of weird and Morton's conception of dark ecology, in which I found a surprisingly apt articulation of my own feelings, as well as inspiration for further thinking and imagination. The main points in the otherwise difficult to define direction of my work are the planes of blurring borders, ephemerality of experience and intimate contact with otherness.

The study of modern treatment wetland for the Hlína village
Komendová, Denisa ; Pumprlová Němcová, Miroslava (referee) ; Kriška-Dunajský, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of a modern constructed wetland for wastewater treatment for the Hlína village, Brno – venkov district (320 PE). Constructed wetlands are an alternative technology for wastewater treatment. In Czech Republic this technology often encounters a lot of problems arising from wrong design or improper operation. This problems cause insufficient cleaning efficiency, mainly in removing ammonia nitrogen. It is necessary to design the constructed wetland differently, thus make them a competitive against other waste-water treatment technologies, and ensure a higher cleaning efficiency mainly of ammonia nitrogen. The thesis is based on findings from exploratory and operating objects as results from cooperation with Institute of landscape water management. There are a new solutions and designs applied in this project, including several utility models. The first part consists of literature research, which summarizes basic knowledge on constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. The result of the second part of the thesis is designed sewage treatment system, which comprises several serial and parallel connected sewage treatment elements. The aim is to not only eliminate the required pollution by decree law, but also to remove nitrogen and phosphorus. The part of the design is also a wastewater sludge treatment, based on innovated reed-bed systems with wetland vegetation.

Between Production and Recreation
Madro, Oskar ; Chuchlíková, Ida (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis "In the Shadow", based on the pre-diploma thesis "After the Work", explores the territory of Brno's Kraví Hora. Then, on its basis, asks questions about the current form of the architect and urban planner profession, and the challenges that these professions are supposed to address. The thesis searches for the qualities of the territory in question in the shadows of our professions' interests, in areas outside the productive logic of things. In an attempt to find a way out of the tight spot in which we as architects and urban planners find ourselves today. As between two millstones, we are constricted by mutually contradictory systems - capitalism, on which we depend, and climate change, whose fatality and elusiveness subvert any sense of our work. Careful documentation of the territory seeks out moments that we might normally overlook or sweep off the table in the interests of the greater good, and places them at the centre. The periphery becomes the centre, the periphery shapes the centre. The result is an acceptance and appreciation of the existing reality of Kraví hora. On its basis, the thesis proposes both a set of small, quick interventions that will yield the potential for creating a green skeleton for the area, and then a scenario of transformation for the central part of the area, where the shadowy qualities of urban wilderness and the potential for new meanings collide. How to bring new activities to Kraví hora without destroying the urban wilderness?

Economic and social limits of the use of earth in architecture. Role of education.
Neumayerová, Eva ; Novotný, Martin (referee) ; Pifko,, Henrich (referee) ; Žabičková, Ivana (advisor)
Earth as a building material was known for centuries and widely used in traditional construction. But during the social and economic development, it was gradually replaced by industrially produced materials with more stable mechanical properties. In many countries, the tradition of using earth in buildings had practically disappeared for a long time. In recent decades, the awareness of earth as a building material has increased, especially due to the growing interest of society in healthy living and the quality of the living environment. Despite its many advantages, earth is still not a commonly used building material. What is the position of earth in current construction and does earth have the potential for the future to be more than an alternative and experimental material? What is limiting the development of the use of earth in constructions? This work examines the limits of the use of earth in architecture in the social, economic and cultural context. It analyzes various approaches and ways of using earth in architecture, determines the level of public awareness and the availability of vocational education and examines the situation of the construction market and legislative restrictions in the implementation process. Based on the findings of the survey, this work defines important conditions and possible ways of further development of the use of earth in construction. The content of this thesis is to contribute to the current topic of the development of architecture using traditional materials and materials from renewable resources.

The Essence of earthen Architecture in the Czech Republic
Bažík, Lenka ; Pifko,, Henrich (referee) ; Novotný,, Martin (referee) ; Žabičková, Ivana (advisor)
For ten thousand years people have used earthen building material in their homes and in just the last hundred years advanced society has gradually turned away from it due to the development of modern technology. Earth is currently of little use as a building material, but it is gradually increasing with the importance of sustainability. Earth has its place in contemporary modern architecture and this is what this work tries to point out. The research is based on the assumption that each building material gravitates with its properties, composition and also the knowledge of the builder to create a certain space. Different building materials define different spaces, different construction uses and different details. This research defined the network of knowledge with the central themes of the essence of earthen architecture by the method of grounded theory and subsequently applied the theory in the design of a model case. The proposed small structure represents an ideal rendering of the space from a single material on the basis of acquired and known information about this material. It has massive earthen walls, which man created himself and it provides him the shelter. The shelter rises smoothly from the ground, its main source, it has soft round features, which were created by the touch of human hands, and when it expires, it naturally merges with the ground again.
