Cathedral today
Král, David ; Mléčka, Jan (referee) ; Štěpán, Marek (advisor)
Theme of the thesis is a construction that is considered to be one of the most spectacular examples of a French gothic architecture. Notre-Dame Cathedral lies on the Eastern half of a Parisian island Île de la Cité on the river Seina. On April 15, 2019, roof of the cathedral caught on fire. It was completely destroyed, including its pinnacle. The thesis offers a solution how to restore the roof and what opportunities the new design brings. Aim of the proposal is enrichment of the Notre-Dame community through offering a new refuge, which will be for both, internal growth and spiritual practice itself. The design provides spaces that capture the path to God in them. I perceive the very path to God as a thorough inner work. That is why I am placing 36 contemplation booths in there, in addition to other 8 cabins. The light is removed from those, in order to extend the perception of consciousness. Spaces for individuals will be amended by 3 chapels for a group practice. Each chapel has its typical content - joint contemplation chapel, chapel that worships the Jesus Christ’s crown of thorns and a community chapel with a variable arrangement.

Meditační zahrada
Máčková, Veronika
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to clarify and define meditation garden by means of reference examples. In its first part, the thesis provides examples of religious-themed gardens, places of reverence, and even landscapes with contemplative potential which might serve as inspirational mediums. It further discusses manifestations of environmental art that by its own nature is capable of initiating thought processes in the viewer inclining him to contemplate. The theory is followed by a practical part which accounts for the means of achieving the meditation function. The intention is to mediate food for the soul through harmony and peaceful atmosphere that encourages self-development and finding and pursuing of one's life path. The goal is to enrich peoples' lives with spiritual dimension which in this case is facilitated through garden architectonic creation. The area surrounding the Holy Family Church in Trenčín was chosen to serve as a model in the design section. The design study itself is preceded by an analysis of the object. Ideological concept of the design is based on the philosophy of Christian meditation. However, the intellectual content is rather symbolic and the meditation garden thus remains open to everyone. Regardless of one's belief, it avoids any discouragement, displeasure or insult. The study is consecutively supported by situation, perspectives, axonometric projection, cuts and details on particular scale.
