Reconstruction the Football Stadium for Lužánky in Brno
Hegrová, Kateřina ; Antl, Roman (referee) ; Ruller, Ivan (advisor)
The project of the stadium Za Lužánkami is situated in an area with almost tangible genius loci. At the same time this locality is bound to the biggest successes of the football in Brno and thus it also has a very strong sport tradition. Ponava has a huge potential of becoming a favored sport and recreational area. Development of the sport infrastructure and quality public spaces will once again incorporates Ponava among the desired localities. The design of the football stadium reflects the situation of the current structure. The decision to keep a part of the eastern stand (based on the structural engineer’s consult) became a determining factor for the whole design. It became the starting point from where everything else developed. The building of the stadium becomes a local dominant dressed in colors of Brno but at the same time it remains a part of its immediate environment hidden behind the trees of Mendel university arboretum.

New synagogue Teplice
Volf, Anna ; Kotek, arch Jakub (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The topic of this diploma thesis is creating an architectural study of new synagogue and center for Jewish community in Teplice. Main goal was to design a complex used not only for sacral purposes, but also for cultural and educational purposes. The intention itself was an attempt to transform the location, to highlight its specificity and to capture its Genius loci. The proposal is a set of four objects consisting of several completely different units, all intended to create possibilities for harmonious coexistence of the past and the future. The complex includes a new separate synagogue building with three utility floors, which is located on the southern side of the premises. Two other objects are a one-storey administration building and a cultural and educational center, both located in the middle of the area. The building on the northern side of the property houses the premises of a kosher restaurant, a museum and a parking lot. Its roof forms a large square and recreational zone. Due to the large altitude differences of the premises, predominant portion of the facility is designed under the ground.

Genius loci and the new urban structure
Sotolářová, Alžběta ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this diploma project is to design new urban structure regarding current living standards. In close proximity of the historic centre of Trebíč, new residential blocks with additional purposes will be designed and the bus station will be adapted to current needs. Public spaces will be adjusted to focus primarily on people rather than cars. The urban design is based on the historical context of this site by following the original historical structure of the Stařečka buildings. The new blocks use a system of platforms which deals with the difference in terrain and enable placing parking and commercial space as part of the block. The platform also creates private closed courtyard for the inhabitants of the block. The space of the bus station is moved to the ground floor of one of the newly created blocks and its capacity is adjusted to the current needs. The street areas will be supplemented by greenery. Komenského square regain the character of a square instead of just a parking lot, it is moved and adapted to a pleasant public space for people with some public features. The Stařečský stream originally used to flow through this area, but nowadays is piped. The design restores it, brings it back to the ground and reinvolves it into the life of the city. The new Komenského square should not overshadow the existing main and representative Karlovo square in the city centre, but rather work as a local public space for residents to meet-and-greet. In the Polanka locality is newly designed a residential structure formed by blocks as well respecting surrounding buildings. The riverside or the river Jihlava is more implemented into the life of the city, there are riverbank steps and small terraces by the park of Polanka and on the other bank of the river that allows people to come closer to the river.

Bratislava and Prešpurk, profane sacrum
Bažíková, Mária ; Bindr, Tomáš (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the ideological elaboration of the architectural study of the building of the civilo temple. The proposal follows the elaborated urban concept of reclamation of the sub-castle - the territory of the historical Vydrica area and its surroundings. The building is a conceptual translation of the term profane sacrum into an architectural formalization. The main ideology consists in transforming the term profan sacrum into an object that incorporates three spirits - the spirit of the place, the spirit of the mind and the spirit of the heart. Thus, an artistic complex will be created on the historical basis of the center of gravity of Bratislava history. The spirit of the place is represented by the historical formalization of the base of the building which refers to the defunct Fish Square, the spirit of the mind represents a complex of 3 objects of self-development: object of performing arts, gallery and temple- library, and the last object which represents the spirit of the heart is transferred to the community center building. The overall ideology is to create a place that will be accessible every day and will serve to build our inner spirit. To develop internally and become a better person. A place to perceive, a place to develop oneself, a place to help each other, a place to share. A place where I will learn to play the violin and in the next phase I will organize a concert in the auditorium for the community until the phase where I will teach others. A place where I learn to cook and then sell my products on the market. A place to help each other. Better place for individuals, better place for community, better place for Bratislava.

Sports and Recreation Centre Vsetín, Ohrada
Košňar, František ; Kotek, arch Jakub (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor)
The architecture and urban planning study of the Ohrada sports grounds examines the possibility of building a multipurpose sports and recreation centre in the Vsetín – Ohrada location. Currently, the grounds are in a very poor condition. With respect to the dimensions of the grounds, the roofed stands of the Spartakiad stadium serving a lodging house along with the tennis club facilities fail to fulfill its potential. I approached the area layout in a way which enables a clearly identifiable morphology of the buildings with an accentuated maximum utilization of daylight, open space, greenery, and social interaction to combine ideas and needs of the future generation and thus give the location a new genius loci. The biggest challenge of the complex layout of the whole site was to find a meaningful use for the great amount of soil found in the decaying stands. I find the best solution in creating an accessible, walkable mass that provides several different sections with various atmospheres and purposes. This concept resulted in a study which uses the qualities of the premises and complements them with a number of sports and recreational activities. The fundamental idea was to create a public leisure space with a focus on a great variability of the purpose of the grounds to make it useful for a wide range of public across generations. This led to the creation of several main masses which divide the location, reduce the scale of the area and give it a different atmosphere. At the same time, the grounds are freely accessible and open to the public. A long-term, functioning society demonstrates an ability to treat public and semipublic space with respect. The area in front of and in between buildings becomes, therefore, more important than the buildings themselves. At such a moment, one can talk of a sustainable public life.

Organic architecture and contemporary residential living
Čábelková Nahorniaková, Marcela ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Budkeová, Branislava (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (referee) ; Menšíková, Naděžda (advisor)
Organic architecture is often used term especially in connection with the daring and experimental form. The exact definition or division is still missing. The founder of modern organic architecture is to be generally considered as Frank Loyd Wright. He was the man who created organic architecture and also made first definition in the early twentieth century, when formulating new architectural styles. Dissertation deals with insufficiently described problem of organic architecture. The main focus is on contemporary production of residential organic architecture in Central Europe. Especially on the particular realizations in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Germany and Poland. Beside detail description of European realizations, the dissertation deals also with foundations of organic architecture in U.S.A. and important realizations here. Modern organic architecture primarily originated in the United States of America. The work presents most important contemporary realizations and architects creating resident living organic architecture in other countries around the world in order to complete the overview. The objective of dissertation was describing newest trends in designing buildings for living. Find position of organic architecture and give reasons for it´s increasing popularity, spread and necessity for new development in architecture according to the new trends. Organic architecture is an alternative way of contemporary residential living. It´s popularity is growing in last years in response to the development of modern technologies and materials, the need to protect our natural resources and also to the increasing negatives of globalization and to denial of local traditions and regional specificities. Aspects of organic forms were divided into three main groups according to their main characteristics: form, harmony and sustainable development. Another objective was find location of contemporary organic residential architecture in Czech Republic and abroad. It is rather spread all over the world than concentrated on certain places. Therefore I selected countries that are richer than the others on the occurrence of organic buildings. The objective was also to address architects, specialists, public and especially university teachers of architecture and students themselves. Communication with them was mainly connected with grant project in 2010. The theme of grant project was contemporary organic architecture in residential living. There were lectures about contemporary organic architecture and exhibition on the theme: Contemporary living organic architecture. The publication of the catalog was published under the title: Contemporary organic houses - Europe. I had the opportunity to visit a number of organic family houses abroad. Specifically houses in Slovakia, Hungary and Germany. Results of survey, which was realized by questions to owners and authors of chosen buildings, are included in dissertation. The mail results of dissertation are - make a detail review of organic architecture in residential living - define trends in contemporary organic architecture and residential living - obtain and process answers from owners and authors of chosen buildings within survey - analysis of organic house ( houses) in city planning and landscape - publication of catalogue focused on organic contemporary European houses - article about contemporary organic architecture and residential living will be published in 2012 on archiweb page

Genius loci and the new urban structure
Fišerová, Markéta ; Erben, Adam (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
The assignment of the diploma thesis is the design of a new city structure and the strengthening of the genius loci in the city of Třebíč. In the 1980s there was a construction of large-capacity bus station together with main road which has led to demoition of multiple original historic building and changing the character of the area. The main idea of the proposal is respecting of the existing structure and especially finding the values and genius loci. The proposal is to gently complete the structure with adding stories and creating new block structure which clearly defines public and private space. The proposal envisages the construction of a southern bypass, which allows the modification of the main roads in the center. Other elements of the design are the discovery, modification of the line and access to the Stařečka stream, reconstruction of the bus station and improvement of pedestrian permeability through the area. The newly designed development is mostly residential in order to increase the density of inhabitants living in the city center and at the same time to limit the expansion of the built-up area by residential development into the landscape.
