Dub, Petr ; David,, Jiří (referee) ; Havlík, Vladimír (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Stratil, Václav (advisor)
The dissertation thesis entitled Selected Post-conceptual Approaches in the Contemporary Czech Painting reflects the author’s expressions of the youngest artists’ generation working with the conceptual forms in the painting medium after 1996. The aim of the dissertation is to outline the conflict and overlapping of the conceptualism and painting. Apart from the development of conceptual art, the reference framework of the submitted thesis also comprises the post-modern turn in visual arts associated with a global change in its social status during the second half of the 20th and at the beginning of 21st century. The development of the domestic artistic scene and particular approaches are presented on the basis of a representative selection of the most distinctive tendencies and significant authors, being compared with the work of foreign artists. The text interprets the key theoretical treatises, reviewed responses and artists’ statements covering the domain of “contemporary painting to conceptual art”.

Living in Intensive Urban Structures
Zadražilová, Miroslava ; Urbášková, Hana (referee) ; Šimeček, Pavel (referee) ; Vitková, Lubica (referee) ; Menšíková, Naděžda (advisor)
As a result of changes in the society, such as the increasing mobility, increasing spatial demandindgness of inhabitants and the onset of digital technologies, the architects and urbanists have been searching for new ways of urban housing developments. One of these ways is densification, i.e. an intensive use of the urban space. An intensive urban structure uses up the potential of a place to its maximum, solves several issues simultaneously and is a functional hybrid, the home of potential suburbanizers and a place of social contacts. It comes from the efforts to solve the particular issue of an over-populated, collapsing city. The aim of the thesis is to show contemporary approaches to the issue of intensive urban structures and to map out both the built and unbuilt projects. The thesis creates a system of their categorization and taxonomy. There is always a mixture of functions in play from the functional perspective. One can distinguish five categories according to the spacial conception. These categories are as follows: multiplicity, porousness, hybridity, connectivity and verticality. The public and semi-public spaces thus move to the higher levels of the city, into the city level, urban balcony or the hybrid landscape. The built projects usually tend to be impulses, in relation to the original city, to develop and revitalize the devastated city areas, brownfields, even urban sprawls. Based on the findings of this thesis, diploma and pre-diploma project assignments have been created at the architecture department at FAST VUT in Brno and the approaches to the issue have been tested in the pedagogical process. The survey in the second part of the thesis looks for the answer to the question of whether the potential inhabitants of an intensive urban structure exist, and who these people might be.

The Municipal Baths
Vrbka, Jan ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Makovský, Zdeněk (advisor)
Are municipal bath built next to Voronez Hotel able to compete with other such facilities? The key is to create a specific atmosphere. The bath steeps from the ground to offer views over city. Another part of the strategy is a presence of relative functions in the building – you can meet many activities, which you would not expect in public bath. But what is the most important: you can enjoy these activities in intimate environment or in the public space as well. For example: you can take a tea in a bar situated in the sixth floor with exclusive view over opposite hill or you can take different tea in a small informal teahouse hidden in the middle of the disposition. An all-embracing structure of differently juxtaposed reinforced concrete boxes creates a frame for this different human experience.

Morphological variability of species \kur{Euphrasia stricta} and \kur{Euphrasia nemorosa}
HOŘČICOVÁ, Šárka
Euphrasia L. belongs to the most taxonomically complicated genera in Europe. This is caused especially by considerable similarity of majority of species, intraspecific variation and hybridization, which occurs very often in this genus. A review of the studied genera and hybridization was worked up. Morphological variation of Euphrasia stricta, Euphrasia nemorosa and morphologically intermediate populations was investigated using conventional and geometric morphometric methods. Isolation and optimalization for PCR of ITS, matK and trnT-trnL regions has been made.
