The future of cinema industry after the corona crisis
Bláha, Richard ; Bednařík, Petr (advisor) ; Štoll, Martin (referee)
The role of the cinema industry has got stuck between a rock and a hard place lately. Before the corona crisis, cinemas were at its peak in the year 2019. Even if the corona crisis wouldn't happen, the decline of the industry was expected. But since the corona crisis came, streaming platforms were on the rise which hurt cinemas in a way from which they might not recover in the future. During the corona crisis, the cinema industry ceased completely. On the other hand, streaming services were in the spotlight. The corona crisis is for the most part over which means that cinemas are slowly gaining back its strength again. The goal of this thesis is to find out whether cinemas will or will not recover to its former state, whether they will be able to coexist next to the streaming services and if blockbusters will be the only movies to be shown in cinemas while the movies of a smaller budget will find its home on the streaming services. In order to find that out, I'm going to write about the role of cinemas and streaming services throughout the years, I'm going to compare the cinema box office before and after the corona crisis with the increase of subscribers of streaming services and I'm going to present the readers with opinions of both the moviegoers and industry professionals and also with...

Sports and Relaxation Centre Za Lužánkami, Brno
Julínek, Roman ; Kotek, arch Jakub (referee) ; Odvárka, Antonín (advisor)
The architectural-urban study of the sports and recreational centre Za Lužánkami in Brno deals with the complex design of the sports and recreational complex. At present, the area of the former Boby Centre is in a poor condition. Fully functioning buildings in the area are a hotel, a concert hall and a tennis hall with outdoor courts, while the remaining buildings and areas, led by the football stadium, are dilapidated and do not fulfil their potential for public life. I approached the assignment as a solution to a complicated problem with many variables. The design provides a clear definition and morphology of the buildings, living, sports and recreational areas, including green spaces. It helps to social interaction and induce new contacts between people. It addresses the needs of current and future generations of residents. Connects and links to the transport infrastructure of the neighbourhood at all levels. Refers to the past and thus preserves in all respect the famous sporting genius of the locus to which it adds its own distinctive added value. Based on the design concept, a study has been carried out that takes advantage of a quality site in an attractive location in the city and offers a range of sports and recreational facilities. The main idea behind the design was to connect and relate the area to its surroundings. To offer a high quality public realm that will appeal to as many residents as possible across all generations through its range of functions and focus. Proportionate to its size and importance, several masses and objects were designed to divide the large area into smaller interconnected units. Each area has its own face, its own content and its own typical atmosphere that will win over its users. A good public space can be recognised by the way its users treat it. It becomes a mirror of society. If the design listens to the wishes and needs of the majority of the inhabitants, it becomes useful and sustainable at any time.

Cultural Centre of Velké Němčice
Tomašáková, Alexandra ; Krettová, Eva (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of a new cultural center in the village of Velké Němčice. It is located right in the historic center of the village. The current building of the cultural house does not sufficiently serve its purpose and its revitalization is necessary. The building, built in the 1960s, is one of many cultural facilities of this type. Over time, various extensions were added to the site, which are responsible for the incomplete appearance of the building. The aim of the work was to check the possibilities of designing a new cultural center that would better serve the people od Velké Němčice. It can be an example of how to deal with this type of building, which is located in all corners of the Czech Republic. Emphasis is placed on the functionality and variability of spaces, which should create a multi-purpose cultural background of the village with a community character. It should be the best place for the locals and their hobbies and clubs. The building also responds to the context of the structure of the village and tries to integrate into its surroundings. The proposal was also preceded by an urban study of the village center itself and its square, which is also the cultural center of the village where its social life take place. The multifunctional cultural and educational center includes many new functions that should help the further development of Velké Němčice.
