The Students themselves - Student Center Poříčí
Veselá, Marie ; Látalová, Lucie (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The students themselves - Student Center Poříčí Waterfront with views of the city center, the hotel representative in the neighborhood and the traffic load over the streets of Vídeňská. Two opposites, which are daily faced a common corner. While I listened to the dialogue and decided to try to accommodate both "parties". The proposed building is therefore towards the river "looks" and along the streets of Vienna "running out". Horizontally curved strip of floor follow the flow of ambient life - throughout the building causing a glass surface feeling slowdown or stoppage, then head of the belts diverge and height glazing is reduced to the standard, so the speed increases and becomes a facade passerby more inaccessible. Containers with shaping gain more privacy and a wider cut views of the surrounding area. Broken facade indicates heart rate, not only outside but also the interior, where the dominant feature of the central corridor and provides insights into the other floors, the play of light and effectively slows down and speeds up the movement in the building. The unifying element is the central staircase cascaded current on all floors.

Trees Have the Power
Mikušková, Nina ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Kovářová, Marta (advisor)
The project "Trees Have The Power" is being developed since 2013 and revolves around the strength of interpersonal connections experienced throughout our lives. It points out the reality, that we all create our own micro-cosmos around us, shaped and expanded by every new person we meet. First phase of the project involved exhibition of a tree within a gallery, which served as a metaphor of an ever expanding organism. For the second phase an online social platform was developed, to map out and connect my personal contacts. The third outcome offers space to present the "tree". By involving people from my own personal tree of connections, we are creating lectures, interactive events, concerts, film screenings, and discussions focused on multiple aspects of life. The aim is both to test the skills and initiative of a specific community as a driving force in sharing and accumulating knowledge and experience; and at the same time to demonstrate the magnitude of impact of such activity. This unorthodox framework of encounter offers opportunity to generate new perspectives within the community, and enrich the audience.

The Death Pit and the Glowing Swamp: A Permeation
Smutný, Jan ; Marek, Petr (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The work is connecting well-known symbols of alchemy and various esoteric traditions and giving them visual and narrative form. There is deconstruction and glorification of this type of philosophy in the same time. The characters of the story are symbolizing the german and slavic archetypes. Their voyage from the pit of death to the glowing swamp and vice versa is representing the ageless story of life and death, creation and destruction, body and soul, light and darkness. All the symbols are used in the ironic and serious way in the same time.
