FROM EAST TO WEST: RELATIONS, COLLISIONS, AND DIVERGENCE OF CZECH AND JAPANESE CULTURE
Vaculík, David ; Čapková, Helena (referee) ; Mitášová, Monika (advisor)
The diploma thesis follows up the pre-diploma research dealing with the investigation of selected literature on Japanese traditional and modern architecture and gardens, archival research of extant 20th century buildings in Czech republic influenced by Czech-Japanese relations and the contemporary perception of Japan in the eyes of the Czech professional and uninitiated audience. It also includes a selective glossary of Japanese words and terms, containing study translations from English of selected architectural literature related to the topic. The output took the form of a Discovery Book with a short glossary, pictorial data and an anthology of translated texts. The thesis follows this preliminary "introductory research" with two main parts. The first part (A) explores concepts of space-making and spatial elements deeply rooted in Japanese traditional buildings as they were rediscovered and rethought, particularly by 20th century Japanese architects – who continued to use and revive these concepts in their own work. The text traces their understanding of Japanese traditional architecture. Then, using the example of three Japanese traditional spatial "icons", four works by 20th century Japanese architects, and three works by Czech architects in different phases of the 20th century, the thesis probes the relationship between these two architectural cultures in a European context. The second part (B) consists of texts on the architectural designing of model, utopian housing. The whole design follows a narrative – a scenario that shapes a temporal and spatial sequence that is not in line with the classical perception of time and space but spirals upwards. The next subsection interprets this story into spatio-temporal gradients and elements. Parts C and D contain conclusions and literature used. Model buildings are proposed on a range of scales: the smallest dwelling (a capsule), minimal dwelling, community dwelling, house, villa, city, and a coffin. The composition of the different scenarios and structures respects the movement along a spiral, where we can also observe the cyclical nature of life itself, which ends with the last terminal phase that escapes the gradient of scales – the coffin. These individual proposals are inspired by the studied phenomena and elements, texts and buildings of Japanese and European architecture with their interrelationships. The aim of this thesis is first to study the spatial, temporal, but also light and colour possibilities of Japanese traditional and modern architecture in the context of European, especially Czech, ones. Another aim is to propose a model-based, utopian housing project with a gradient layering of spaces, structures, materials, views and lighting based on various game strategies as well as the maxims of “Form follows fiction”.

NEO (an unnamed ecological art object)
Molišová, Kateřina ; Lungová, Barbora (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
This bachelor thesis – The Sphere/The Planet – is based on the recycling of waste found in the nature to an art object. The Planet is centred on my need to participate in bringing the landscape back to its original state while also reacting to humanity's attitude to the waste production and its influence on nature. I bind and shape the found waste into a planet-shaped sphere that is meant to be a reflection and companion of the planet Earth which is overfilled by the waste produced by humans. The whole process of creation is recorded on the video that is also part of the installation.

Suburbanization – between a city and landspace (searching for the optimal strategy for sustainable development of suburbs in the background of a big city)
Šerá, Jana ; Koutný, Jan (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Assignment of the diploma thesis came out as a result of the module specialized studiol called Compact city, dealing with the problematics of the urban sprawl phenomenon in last 20 years in our country. The target of this thesis is to find ways leading to the improvement of life quality within such structures. We are facing the problem of the urban sprawl into the landscape to the detriment of land used for agriculture. We try to move closer to the landscape, which causes our loss of it. We spend long hours by commuting, mostly by car. The time, when the non-renewable sources of energy are getting tinner is on approach and with it the prices of oil are getting higher. Then we will have a choice: commute by car or get to the place of our job by walk. The second option will be highly appreciated. Contemporary czech countryside is loosing its original features in order of becoming residential base for nearby cities. People moving to the countryside are not searching for the job in the agriculture sector. They move there, trying to find a house with a garden in touch of the nearby landscape. Sadly, they do not find what they expect. Their reality is a big house in the middle of a small patch of land, which can not provide them with the intimate sorrounding. Such residential sites are seldom, if ever proposed in relationship towards the landscape as it was common in the case of original countryside. Right-angled properties which are provided with high fences or walls create sharp edges urging towards constructing a new such structure next to it. The thesis is devided into several parts. First part is dealing with changes in the relationship of people towards landscape. Second part is mapping the urban sprawl in sorrounding of Brno. Several parts of Brno and several municipalities, where the phenomenon of the urban sprawl is about to take place or where it took place already were chosen for this purpose. Three chosen localities (Útěchov, Jehnice, Troubsko) undergone detailed analysis and comparison. In the following section of the thesis were defined five areas, which should be monitored during the development of sub-urban localities. The aim of all proposals is to minimize necessary journeys by car. The final part of the thesis is focused on Jehnice town and country plan and spatial regulations zoning is not created. Thesis defines important places, spaces and offers visions on which direction should the development take.

Coalescence
Lubovská, Karolína ; Příhoda, Jiří (referee) ; Ambrůz, Jan (advisor)
The theme for my bachelor's thesis is the landscape surrounding a south Moravian village called Bavory. To put this environment into context, I was looking into its historical and geographical background. All of my efforts were focused on one section of my family's property. The property consists of vineyards and a dried-up spring. In one part of my work, I observe the everyday activity around this spring, and in the second part of my work, I focused on making an installation out of dead grapevines.

Wine Farmstead in Jaroslavice
Bomberová, Eva ; Sochor, Jan (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
1. Identification details Viticulture in Jaroslavice 2. urbanistic solution The place that I am thinking about is the ground located on the edge of village Jaroslavice. It takes 6,5ha. Owners of this ground are husband and wife Markel. My the most important idea for the viticulture is its implanting to the landscape and make the viticulture that will be a family business. The objects of the viticulture are situated on the square place connected to the house, that survived as the only one after the building the brickyard and becoming the family house. Individual services are located according to continuity of production. The part used for living is with the view for the landscape, because of the privacy of visitors. In the center of the court is the place for eating, meeting owners with visitors and with wine, of course. There are two roads that separate two parts: the part of working and the part for visitors and their comfort. The part of the land close to the existing house has plane character, so it is realy good place for the court and also for the wheelchairs access to each buildings. There is no need to modify the land to much because there are no subterranean parts of the objects. The land is also used for increasing capacity vineyards. The rest of the big land could be used for setting fruits plantation – apple trees, plum trees and so on. Even thought the entire set of objects is compact, each of the objects are separated so the construction could be gradual. The most important are the manufacturing and store parts, the parts for meeting, tasting and living could be done later. 3. Architectonic solution The restful place close to the nature in the south of the Moravia region is the ideal place for rest connected with visiting the family viticulture. The design is trying for the best connection between good business and finding a nice place for living. The face of All the objects comes from the existing house. The wooden sheathing unites all the objects. The vision is that the viticulture should befit to the landscape and do not disturb uniqueness of this place. It is thanks to the nature material that getting old together with its surroundings.
