The new synagogue in Frýdek-Místek
Večeřová, Pavla ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The assignment of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of a new synagogue in the Frýdek-Místek. The solved area includes the original lands of the Jewish community, on which stood a synagogue, a Jewish school and a rabbinate. The synagogue was burned down in 1939 and currently only the rebuilt Jewish school building is located in the area. The main idea of the design is to build a memorial on the site of the original synagogue and a new synagogue with an adjoining community centre. The main goal is to support the development of the Jewish community in the city and to remind citizens and visitors of the history, because of which the Jewish community in Frýdek-Místek disappeared. In contrast to the monument, the entire building is set in the terrain so that the terrain passes freely in a public space with the main entrance to the community centre and a kosher restaurant. The building opens up to the south side of the slope and offers a view of the historic city centre of Frýdek. The area is connected by a footbridge to the park under the castle. Part of the community centre is a space for a ritual bath - Mikveh, the administration of the Jewish community and a multifunctional hall, which can be opened to the area in front of the residential staircase. The area is separated from Revoluční Street by a retaining wall and thus form an attractive place to spend time near the historic centre.

Gracová, Michaela ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of a new synagogue in Opava, which, with other necessary objects, will create a complex used by the jewish community and its members. The result of the design is a new community center. This has the task of restoring existence and supporting the development of the jewish community, which has not found its way back to Opava since world war II. Three separate objects cover the needs of this community for everyday and spiritual life. This includes education taking place in the library, the seat of the jewish community and its leaders, ritual cleansing areas of the mikveh and the commercial space of the kosher food or products store. It is necessary to have a kosher restaurant providing proper eating. An important part is also the space of cultural activities in the form of artistic or other exhibitions and events. The main area of the complex is a synagogue where prayers, festivities and meetings are held.

New synagogue Česká Lípa
Aulisa, Marco ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The new synagogue Česká Lípa, which is the subject of this diploma thesis, symbolizes a new beginning for the Jewish community in Česká Lípa. In addition to the synagogue itself, the building includes the administration of the Jewish community with private and public parts and a kosher restaurant for members of the Jewish community and the general public. An integral part of the synagogue is the Mikveh cleansing spa and the Holocaust memorial. The concept location of the synagogue and the monument has a strong connection with the original locations of the burned synagogues. Very important for the Jewish community is the spread of enlightenment, which will prevent current misinformation, both in the field of Jewish religion and in general, everyday topics depressing our society. The building of the synagogue is located in a very inhospitable area. It is necessary to prevent the ingress of noise from the adjacent road and to deal with the incomplete urban environment. Last but not least, the outdoor part of the building needs to be made so that it can be separated from the surrounding area, but at the same time it invites visitors to the center of the building. This is achieved by placing the building on an elevated pedestal. The mass of the building is divided into three basic functions and is supplemented by atriums, which visually connect the individual floors and support the natural air circulation for better cooling of the building in the summer months. To provide a more natural environment, the building is complemented by trees. The facade of the building is designed in a grid of pillars, which give the building a dignified character and at the same time break the long empty walls on the facade. Between the pillars there is a facade cladding. The entire facade system is painted in white.

The subject of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of the new synagogue in Jihlava in the newly reconstructed park with the monument of Gustav Mahler. The assignment was the design of a new synagogue, premises for a Kosher restaurant and a Jewish community building. All functions are the subject of a solution on a relatively small built-up area in the place of the original burned Jihlava synagogue. The basis of the proposal was to create a dialogue between two buildings of the synagogue and the Jewish community. Between these two objects is located a kosher restaurant as a connecting element. It infill the gap site - moat and at the same time connects the space between the objects using the park on its roof.

New synagogue Jablonec nad Nisou
Obadalová, Kateřina ; Vostrejž, Dušan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The main goal of the thesis was to design a synagogue in Jablonec nad Nisou with additional functions in the form of administration, a kosher restaurant, and a museum. The site of the former synagogue, which served its purpose until 1938 when it was burned down during Kristallnacht, is now only marked by a memorial. The site is located between the historic part of the town, on a sloping terrain. The concept was to preserve the slope of the terrain and to insert a building that would meet the needs of the Jewish community and also blend in with the surrounding buildings and movement of people in the area. A vertical division of the site was proposed with a staircase providing access to the synagogue and kosher restaurant, as well as the adjacent glass and jewelry museum. A four-story building (a museum, administration of the Jewish community, and a community center with a mikveh) complements the existing street buildings and aims to visually correspond to them in a modern way. This building also connects to the synagogue, which is visually embedded in the terrain, and the kosher restaurant. A ramp for the disabled people horizontally divides the site. The facade was designed with a simple scraped plaster in combination with a smooth plaster. The kosher restaurant is visually separated as a cube using bronze-colored stainless steel mesh. New greenery and green areas were proposed in the surrounding area, which then connect to the green roofs of the buildings.

New synagogue Jablonec nad Nisou
Porubčanová, Zuzana ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the development of the design of the New Synagogue in Jablonec nad Nisou in the form of an architectural study. The assignment was the design of a new synagogue together with spaces for a kosher restaurant, administration, library, the possibility of designing a Jewish museum, or space for a small Sunday school. The overall design takes place on a relatively small built-up area. The idea behind the concept was an effort to restore the dialogue between private and public (openness vs. closedness of the Jewish community), interconnection of individual functions and the creation of a functional unit for the needs of the Jewish community, which, however, also communicates with the public. In addition to the newly designed synagogue, the complex includes a community center, a museum of Jewish culture, a kosher restaurant, the administration of the Jewish community, a library, a social and educational room, a kosher grocery store and also a mikveh ritual bath. The concept is divided into four separate buildings that are interconnected in the underground floor. All four objects are linked to each other not only thanks to the functions they represent, but also by their very location on the plot. They partially copy the curvature of the plot and, by their placement in the terrain, they come closer to the water flow of the local river, which borders the entire planned territory on the southern side.

New synagogue Česká Lípa
Tomický, Ondřej ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The subject of my diploma thesis is the design of a new synagogue and a Jewish community centre in a town Česká Lípa. The area in question is located on the street U Synagogy, on the south-eastern edge of the historic city centre, on the site where the Jewish town was located in the past. However, the long history of the Jewish community of Česká Lípa, which had its synagogue, Jewish school, rabbinate, mikveh ritual bath and others, was interrupted by the events of the Second World War and the subsequent post-war developments in Czechoslovakia and the world. The original synagogue was burned down by the Nazis in 1938, and many of the monuments of the Jewish community in Česká Lípa gradually disappeared, as did the community itself. My goal is to design a new facility for the Jewish community. Therefore, I designed a proposal for a new synagogue and a community centre, including the administration of the Jewish community with an archive of Jewish literature, exhibition, and lecture spaces, the new mikveh ritual bath and kosher restaurant for members of the community and the general public. The design also includes the overall revitalization of the public space and its pedestrian accessibility, the planting of new greenery and the placement of two new monuments to commemorate the Jewish past of Česká Lípa. The designed project should than serve not only members of the Jewish community, but the whole general public as a new public space that will offer new opportunities for socialization, education, and leisure in a more dignified environment. The defining element of the proposal is the site of the former synagogue, which will become a courtyard that will be surrounded on the three sides by the new synagogue and community centre. Both buildings face the city centre with their main facades and main entrances. Both the synagogue and the community centre will be situated on a raised terrace accessible by a staircase, symbolizing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The chosen morphology and material design of the buildings intend to evoke the sense of massiveness, stability, dignity, and safety to the passers-by. Two new monuments will be placed on an axis of the new courtyard – the column and the fountain. The column on the place of the former entrance to the former synagogue symbolizing a raised-up finger in warning. The fountain on the spot of the bema, a sacred place where no one except for the rabbi is allowed. The water will symbolically prevent the movement of pedestrians who will have to go around this former sacred place. Nowadays, there is a public parking lot on the site of the former synagogue, and the entire area of the former Jewish town is in a state of neglect. I sincerely hope that with my proposal I will contribute to the commemoration of the Jewish past of Česká Lípa, to understanding among the people and that the nowadays neglected area will become a dignified public space.

New synagogue Česká Lípa
Marečková, Andrea ; Baranyai, René (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The diploma thesis is focused on the design of a new synagogue in Česká Lípa. The solved area is located close to the city center on the site where the original synagogue was burned down during Crystal Night. The boundary of the area is U Synagogy Street, on the north and south sides there are terraced buildings and on the east side there is an embankment with a first-class road. The area used to be behind the city walls, which no longer exist. The design of the synagogue in the Z-V axis and the connection to the U Synagogy road are also important in the design. The negative factor that affects the area, is the busy and dusty road located on the embankment, which creates a visual barrier and divides the city into several parts. For these reasons, the synagogue was located at the intersection of the adjacent streets and as far away from the busy road as possible. The other objects in the design are positioned so that they create a noise barrier and their windows are not turned to communicate. Thanks to the location of individual functions, an inner block was created in the middle of the solved area, intended for rest and meeting of people. The location of the kosher restaurant attracts its location from the adjacent U Synagogy street and at the same time it is turned into a quiet courtyard, where there is a small outdoor seating area. The office building and community center line the embankment on the east side, separating the busy road from the quiet courtyard. These buildings are also facing the courtyard and only the windows of the stairs or background are located on the facade to the road. In the southern part of the area, a ramp leading to an underground car park is proposed, which connects the administrative building with the community center. An important element of the design are the perforated panels located on the facade of the synagogue. The perforation is based on a Jewish star, these are equilateral triangles. Thanks to the perforated panels, privacy

In the past, there was a large Jewish community with a school, mikvehs and a synagogue in the area, which was burned down during the Crystal Night in November 1938. Today, there is a public parking area and dilapidated buildings from the 1990s. The aim of the design is to create a new facility for the Jewish community, including administration with a rabbinate, community center, archive of Jewish literature with study, multipurpose lecture hall, workshop rooms for the Jewish community with the possibility of renting the public, kosher restaurant for members and the general public. kosher products, a synagogue with a ritual bath mikveh and a memorial to the victims of the holocaust in the courtyard. The building should also serve to educate the general and professional public and the Jewish Sunday class for education and leisure activities. The dominant element of the whole building are the erected masts running to the lost in regular lines, like the reminiscence of the burned synagogue. This monument forms the center line of the entire building. The resulting volume is at a similar height of the original building according to the preserved drawing documentation. The masts themselves symbolize the victims of the Holocaust in Česká Lípa. At their tops are spotlights that symbolize the souls of the victims. The monument is complemented by two fountains with running water. The newly designed synagogue respects the position of the floor plan of the burned synagogue. The prayer house is deliberately situated below ground level in the spirit of the fulfillment of Psalm 130: 1 "From the depths of the bottomless I call to you, Lord."
