Cities, exhibitions and exhibition grounds: how exhibitions affected the cities
Štěpánková, Lenka
Before the end of nineteenth century universal exhibitions, specialised shows and trade fairs became inherent part of both local economy and social and cultural life in Bohemian and Moravian cities. The temporary exhibition grounds where such events were staged from the beginning were gradually replaced by permanent exhibition grounds, and later in the interwar period, major part of the cities in Czechoslovakia either established permanent exhibition venues, or had at least some place reserved for events. Exhibition venues as well as events themselves were affected by the outbreak of WW II and subsequent change of the regime. Their further development in following decades reflected the realities of centrally planned economy and cultural and social life organised and supervised by state authorities. Then the end of the Cold War brought the collapse of planned economy and outset of liberalisation, which often led to rapid changes in the cities and unrestrained transformations of urban structure, exhibition venues included. Future research pertaining the exhibition grounds should cover their historical development and explain how the exhibition grounds and venues can be described and specified in regional spatial plans and other documents. The outcomes of such research should be of importance to heritage care and protection as well. Regarding the interdisciplinary character of the subject, the research is to be carried also in related fields, e.g. art history, economy history, event management, regional studies and the like.

Mapping of the trial and error method in solving problems in structural environments Spider web and Exhibition grounds
Kučerová, Lucie ; Havlíčková, Radka (advisor) ; Jirotková, Darina (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to observe and describe the use of the trial-and-error strategy in two didactic environments from the Hejné method among pupils in the second and third year of primary school, who are educated using the usual method of teaching mathematics. The theoretical part deals with the definition of heuristic strategies, their classification and a closer description of some selected heuristic strategies. The key chapter is devoted to the description of the trial-and-error strategy and its inclusion among the solving strategies. It also deals with the problematic attitude of teachers and the wider public towards this strategy. At the end of the chapter, the advantages of its use in solving mathematical problems are included. The next chapters deal with work with mistakes, the child's experiment not only in teaching, and thus follow on from chapter 1.3. Chapter 1.7 describes Hejné's method of teaching mathematics and the didactic environments with which this method works and which are important for the practical part. At the end of the theoretical part, I define the distribution of the curriculum in the second and third years, which influence the students' approaches to solving. In the practical part, the research methods of unstructured observation and the method of verbal...

Transformation of European exhibition and fair areas
Štěpánková, Lenka ; Rak,, Milan (referee) ; Boháč,, Ivo (referee) ; Wittmann, Maxmilian (advisor)
Exhibition centres represent a specific type of urban space within the present-day European cities and their current form results from a long development in the past. While exhibition venues are the subject of study from multiple points of view (e.g. economics, urban policy, leisure studies) their spatial quality and urban characteristics stay somewhat aside and a theoretical frame for their all-encompassing description and assessment of their possible impact on the urban development of cities is missing. Comparison of exhibition centres from various European regions and countries is further complicated by the existence of language barriers which have an impact on the accessibility of relevant and comparable data. The thesis submits information about the previous and current form of European exhibition centres and the processes that shaped their form are described in detail. The FFF theory proposed by the author herself is employed to analyse the relation between form, function and financial subjects with the aim to arrive at conclusions which could be applied within the current conditions in the Czech Republic. Summarized knowledge about European exhibition centres and venues helps to understand the role they play within the cities and the necessity to protect their historical value upon future transformations. It is also needed to predict their possible further development and unfold their urban potential.

Brno Trade Fairs Future
Mičková, Markéta ; Hybská, Bohumila (referee) ; Sedláček, Michal (advisor)
The diploma thesis follows the urban planning analysis of the BVV area, which was elaborated in the subject TG02 –Specializovanýateliér. The Diploma Project processes an architectural study of the hotel with a congress center. The request for the proposal was the classification of the building into First Class (**** hotel) according to the Official Uniform Classification of Accommodation Facilities of the Czech Republic, as well as the number of rooms 250. The congressional part should serve more than 2,000 persons. The design responds to the historical urbanism of the BVV area, where it retains and optically complements the view axis to the Z-pavilion. The building also reacts to the height next to the standing mansion. In its close proximity is the lower part of the building with the congress center, the height part with rooms is located on the opposite side, at the sports hall. The object is optically divided into two parts - a lower base and a "growing" height part with room. The congress and the hotel part are optically separated by planing offsets and façade solutions. Lower, congress, part orbit horizontal aluminum lamellas, instead, the hotel creates vertical lamellas. These lamellas serve not only as optical separation but also as shading.

Architecture at the Exhibition. The birth of modern architecture during the great Prague exhibitions in 1891-1908.
Turková, Kateřina ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
There occurred a change in the Czech architecture from late historicism to modernism in the time from 1890's to the early 20th century. This thesis tries to demonstrate this change on the architecture of the pavilions during the Prague's great exhibitions that held in the years 1891-1908 at the Prague Exhibition Grounds at Holešovice. Individual attention will be focused on the Prague Jubilee Exhibition of 1891, the Czechoslavic Ethnographic Exhibition of 1895, Exhibition of Architects and Engineers of 1898 and Jubilee exhibition of the Trade and Business Chamber of 1908. After putting these exhibitions into the broader context and with the emphasis on significant buildings that should not be neglected as a part of the evolution of Czech architecture, this thesis tries to answer the introductory question whether the Prague Great Exhibitions played an essential role in the birth of Czech modern architecture.

Prostorové kvality výstavních areálů v České republice
Štěpánková, Lenka
The five most important exhibition grounds in the Czech Republic were analysed to discover how their spatial layouts are related to the type of the venue and its connection to the city. Apart from the function and space structure, the historical development, legal status and ownership as well as planning issues were taken into account as they can help to explain specific traits of some of the exhibition grounds and obvious differences between them. During the process emphasis was on the use of open source data so the analysis can be repeated in future with the results being either verified or refined, and so the research can possibly be extended to exhibition grounds in other European cities.

Geoprostorová analýza veletržních areálů
Štěpánková, Lenka
The European exhibition centres may show some unique features but they also have many things in common. Their typical qualities can be identified using the spatial analysis. The metod described in this paper is devised to exploit the data available on internet and to create the visual output based on the data. Such analysis can be used to examine the size and structure of the venues as well as their position within the cities. The possible further use of the metod in urban research is indicated eventually.
