Inscription on the Graves (Mikulov town)
Fantová, Růžena ; Janovec, Ladislav (advisor) ; Palkosková, Olga (referee)
The thesis describes all the inscriptions that one can see engraved into the gravestones on current cemeteries in Mikulov. We analyze the first and last names engraved into the gravestones but we focus primarily on epitaphs. In particular, we examine common epitaph themes, the number of their occurrences as well as linguistic errors that the inscriptions contain. In addition, we identify the most commonly quoted passages from the Bible, excerpts of poems, quotes of famous people and the time periods when they were most popular. Last but not least, we explore the symbolism and other nonverbal aspects of the gravestones. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Garden as an Aesthetic Object
Matějková, Magdalena ; Dadejík, Ondřej (advisor) ; Zuska, Vlastimil (referee)
This text is focused on garden as a specific object of aesthetic appreciation. Its first part discovers some of the specificities of this aesthetic object, among others, its high variability, unpredictability and complexity. Within an accordingly formed aesthetic experience, perceiver's attention is focused on the temporal dimension of experience and his reflection is intensified. The same happens while experiencing melancholy, which can therefore be considered for a specific aesthetic emotion. After these considerations, cemetery appears to be an ideal environment for an aesthetic experience of garden tinged with melancholy. The natural proximity between garden and cemetery is emphasized thanks to the secularisation of death which makes it easier to employ a scientific narrative in the constitution of aesthetic value of both garden and cemetery. Key terms Garden, melancholy, cemetery, environment, reflection, aesthetic experience

Malá, Kateřina ; Vacek, Oldřich (advisor) ; Jiří, Jiří (referee)
City council of Klatovy town in the Czech Republic submitted a contract for a new town park project on the place called "Za sv. Jakubem" in 2005. Studio SILVEX represented by Ing. Pavel Borusík won this contract and created a feasibility study as the first step of the project documentation. Till now the study has not been realized because of problematic ownership issues within the concerned area.
This diploma thesis strives to solve the question of the up-to-dateness of that project which has been suspended for ten years by now. The main subjects of this thesis have been the project content evaluation, verification of up-to-dateness and to design a new solution respecting current and future needs of the city inhabitants and park users.
Literary overview of the current state of the problem deals with public space areas characteristics, city park characteristics, graveyard characteristics including types of graveyards, burials, graves, burial history in the Czech Republic and Jewish cemeteries. The thesis addresses with the impact of the death on survivors and greenery effects as a green place useful for meditation. The graveyard topic is elaborated because of the geographical distance of Klatovy's town's graveyard to the intended park area.
Evaluation of detailed data provides the fundamental information about Klatovy and the park place, brief contents and main thoughts of feasibility study "Za sv. Jakubem", own verification of the available documentation including changes in the property relations.

The mourning ceremony Hall Lisen
Žaludová, Kristýna ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor) ; Pěnčík, Jan (advisor)
The new building of the Mourning Hall Lisen is located on a slightly sloping plot in the Brno-Lisen district. The concept of the plot’s layout fluently connects to the operation of the current cemetery. The unbuilt part will serve as the new cemetery with areas for standard burying to the ground, columbaria, a scattering garden, but also areas for non-traditional burying such as Bios Urn (after cremation, the ashes are placed into a special urn with a tree seed, which is put in the ground – the life of the deceased one thus symbolically continues in the plant). The tree motif pervades the whole building: it is present on the foregrounded façade through perforated aluminium panels, and it is used on the rounded wall in the interior entrance hall, on the door decoration and on subtle interior elements. The whole building is designed as a convergence of three masses. The operation part (technical facilities, employees’ facilities and survivors’ facilities) has an L-shaped ground plan and is the lowest mass of the object; the ceremonial hall is comprised of an exceeded block. The catafalque is emphasized by a glass-topped tube in the north-western part of the hall.
