Transcendental aspects of architectural design as factors of sustainability
Volnohradský, Radan ; Peřinková, Martina (referee) ; Loutocká, Vlasta (referee) ; Uřídilová, Marcela (referee) ; Urbášková, Hana (advisor)
This thesis deals with complex processes, relationships and phenomena which go beyond the assumed and accepted materialistic perception of the world in general and the process of architectural design specifically. It clarifies and actually redefine the sustainability from a point of higher universal principles forming our environment. At the beginning this thesis presents an extensive knowledge base of existing holistic design systems including Feng-shui, sacred geometry, geomancy or numerology. The purpose is to build and establish a solid foundation for understanding and further research as well as objectively interpreting lesser known topics as a whole. On the basis of intersecting information through the above mentioned topics we specify the hypothesis which proposes the pre-existence of one unifying design matrix of harmonic structures in architecture. The structure of its verification takes us from an analysis of the science of human perception to systems of self-similar contextual references of animated and inanimated forms. These systems of emergent form and flow are basically known as fractals, and could be expressed in both mathematical and geometrical languages. The thesis research then consists of analysing chosen examples of urban and architectural scale in sense of fractality, symbolism and geometrical matrices. We include and integrate the research of associated and relevant phenomena in pedagogical practice, and a case study of the application of fractals in development of a chosen town. From the results of this thesis we abstract five non-dogmatic guidelines or tenets for architectural design; which are supported by experimental verification on some of the author´s buildings. These tenets stand as pillars of implosive architecture. This kind of architecture in context of transcendental overlaps means a possibility of how to bring our anthropogenic environment closer to the natural and harmonic code of the Universe.

The golden section in garden architecture
Černá, Barbora ; Buttry, Ivana (advisor) ; Med, Jakub (referee)
The bachelor thesis "The Golden Section in Landscape Gardening" is intended for all those from the general public who are interested in the topic. First, the thesis deals with aesthetics, aesthetic concepts and philosophy. It describes and explains the principles and patterns of composition in relation to landscape gardening. As the composition is a significant part of the thesis, it describes important terms related to the topic, such as proportionality, contrast, scale, etc. It explains the fundamental definitions of the golden section and defines it within algebra and geometry. It shows the relationship of the golden section to Fibonacci sequence. It introduces the history of the golden section from the oldest studies up to present. It deals with the occurrence of the golden section in nature, both in living organisms, and within the human body. It explains the use of the golden section in art, more specifically in the composition of the work of art (the location of important elements in the painting). Furthermore, the thesis deals with the golden section measurement method and includes a measurement tool together with instructions for making it. It describes in detail the historical development of the Renaissance garden, as the period of the greatest use of the golden section and subsequently describes its characteristic features. As Versailles gardens, which I was examining for the presence of the golden section, are important for the thesis, it includes an introduction to Renaissance in France, in particular the Versailles gardens. The last chapter deals with one of the aims of the thesis, which is a series of recommendations for the use of the golden section in the context of landscape gardening.
The text is supplemented with illustrative images and photographs.

Application of the Fibonacci sequence in asset markets
Míšek, Tomáš ; Soukup, Alexandr (advisor) ; Šrédl, Karel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the possibilities of using the Fibonacci sequence in asset markets. First, it introduces the issue of asset market and describes the individual assets. Then it explains, twhat it is the Fibonacci sequence and what mechanisms cause that it can be applied to conduct market assets. Describes the various technical analysis tools, which using this sequence. In the next section, the reader is familiar with various business strategies that utilize the tools and indicators based on this principle. As a brief description and as an example of using this strategy in the trading platform MetaTrader5. Finally, it applied Fibonacci tool to chart the development of prices of selected market for the year 2015 for the purpose of verifying that the market reacted to the level of the Fibonacci sequence. The author's subsequent assessment recommended to carry out more detailed statistical examination. Methods based on the Fibonacci sequence, when used properly, increases the chances of profitable trading. They are the accurate method of exploring capital markets. Above that, it will be able to predict future results and determine future trends of macroeconomic aggregates. However, it is necessary to observe the principle of risk management.

Geometry of Life-Supporting Forms in an Architectural Design
Volnohradský, Radan
Process of visual perception described in the first article is elaborately explored by neuroesthetic. It is a link to understand incoming images and reactions in brain. In this context it points out significance and beauty of fractal structures. Fractals and their use in urban design are content of next chapter. Than the focus is on explaining harmonic proportions (primarily Golden mean) and geometric forms which are mostly found in fractals. It is mentioned basic Pythagorean geometry with its metaphysical aspects. Same aspects are hidden in mysterious picture Flower of life and its geometrical transformation to Platonic solids - the matrix of universe. At the end the relation between geometry and architectural design is revealed and substantiated.

Roots of Moravian Urban Structure
Mohelník, Ladislav ; Löw, Jiří (referee) ; Prokeš, Oldřich (referee) ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The thesis has been written on the basis of main architectural concepts and their application in real life within a historical context investigation. Main architectural concepts are represented in a harmony of architectural composition that deals with relations among form, structure and space in the unique art work. Genius loci play very important role in the architectural creation - it represents a special and extra-ordinary urban locality and its architectural value in the historical, geographical and cultural context. The origin of Ostravice village within the historical frame concept of Moravia domain is the topic of this thesis. Other historical documents gave information about Bruneswerde as the Brno Castle. That means Brno Castle had to be founded not in Brno (as it has been consid-ered for many years) but it was located in Beskydy at Ostravice. The sacred city – Civitas Dei had been located in Bruneswerde region in early ages as the centre of European culture, education and spiritual life. Civitas Dei – divine Jerusalem in the transcription of St. Augustine's book De civitate Dei – is not only glorification of God and religious fantasy. It is also one of significant clues for recognition of historical architecture. The depiction of unknown settlement from the book of unde-fined origin is a superb testimony about extinct architectural works. They are legible from cadastral maps. Brno Castle - residence of nobility and power served shelter to St. Vojtěch, St. Prokop, St. Václav and St. Ludmila as it is obvious for the mentioned picture. Three major temples, three com-position axes symbolized by three towers on coins are in analogical relation to Brno triangle of four saints - the Saint family of Brno temples. Powerful ambitions of Brno City principals and clergy are inscribed into the urban structure in the way of composition relations which are legible to them who devoted themselves to the mystery of harmony. The absence of historical continuity affects personal attitudes and also identity of the whole community. The architecture truly reflects the past state of polis and it is eloquent even after its death. The architectural composition relations influence the natural environment for long time, longer than the architectural work existence. The geometric order of Renaissance Brno existence has not been in attention of architects so far. The features were discovered in characteristic paintings by Albrecht Durer. They are evidently secret works of the genius. A meaningful collaborator and follower in the extensive project was also his friend Jan Čert from Brno and lately from Vienna. His noble genealogy played a significant role in history of Silesia and Moravia for centuries. It is tendency to consider him as Austrian or even German architect. It is because of the fact that the genealogy tree of his noble family had roots in Moravia. It is supposed that Durer with Jan Čert´s support created the extraordinarily monumental architectural and urban works in Brno. A remarkable consensus in the urban composition of two squares and transition of traditional urban structure of Ostravice Civitas Dei into the modern Brno is also confirmed due to the identification of noble creators and owners, who were at the foundation, transformation and extinction of elements of the Moravian urban structure.

Golden section around us
ČADKOVÁ, Andrea
The issue of the golden section is unknown for many people and that is the reason why my main aim was to find out and acceptably define basic information about the golden ratio and its occurrence around us. The golden section occurs in different forms in our lives. The chapters describing a detailed description of an occurrence of the golden section around us are the part of the work. The constructions of the golden section in different geometrical shapes are also the part of the work. These constructions are illustrated mainly by geometrical program GeoGebra. One of the chapters focuses on relationship between Fibonacci sequence and the golden number.
