Brewery in city – conversion of indrustrial area
Balciarová, Jana ; Polakovič, Štefan (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The main aim of the work is the conversion of the non-functional industrial site of the former canning factory and re-engagement of unused and unattractive territory into life city cycle - new life - new energy. The conversion consists of restoring a former canning factory building to the city brewery and restoring a former administrative building to a kindergarten. The brewery is complemented by services such as a beer bath, a beer museum, a beer restaurant and a hotel. The aim of the brewery is to revive the tradition of brewing in the region and to restore its industrial and cultural heritage. To connect it with the city not only physically but also socially, while supporting the untapped potential of tourism development. The region has long been struggling with a shortage of nursery schools. The original administrative building from 1902, which is currently almost unused and depreciated, has a favorable location in terms of availability and environment for primary education of children - connection with the park and the football field, which is also closely cooperating with kindergartens. The concept supports and benefits from the urban design of the city's revitalization of the adjacent sports and recreation zone, which is already under way. I see the site conversion as a stage of completing this section of the city.

Conversion of a city block in Ljubljana
Uhríková, Tatiana ; Rypl Žabčíková, Ada (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The design of the urban - architectural study of the city block serves as an ideological concept of the reconversion of the historic city block of Ljubljana and at the same time offers possible answers to the problem of thickening city centers, the use of vague urban spaces that have lost their significance. The first part of the proposal deals with the solution of micro urbanism of the inner block, which is currently undergoing many building modifications, which eventually led to its devastation and degradation of the environment. The design of urbanism responds to the naturalness of the urban organism, respects its unique context, and aims to create a natural setting that can become part of the site without compromising its original integrity and character. The second part of the design is an architectural study of the Cultural Center with a theatrical scene, whose idea and concept arose as a result of thinking about densifying the city and using the potential of "empty places" to bring new qualities and a new impulse to life. The process also applies the knowledge from the work of Christopher Alexander and his Language of Patterns, which served as a theoretical basis and a great source of inspiration. The analytical part and the process of work naturally resulted in the program of the cultural center and theater, as a suitable and missing element of the city, which will create a strong center of activity across different age groups and communities. The organization of the material structure of the individual contents and the division of the program answers the questions of urbanism, specific ideas about the functioning of the site, the quality of the environment, and the creation of a positive geometry of public space. The functional content in the center reflects the idea of thickening within the organization of space and creates the organism of the "city in the city". The term thickening is not meant primarily as a formal thickening, but as content, which brings many new, diverse activities to the area addressed.

Conversion of Grain Silo in Zlin
Mikócziová, Martina ; Štikar, Jaroslav (referee) ; Nový, Alois (advisor) ; Donaťáková, Dagmar (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor´s thesis is a conversion of the grain silo in Zlín, which is situated at the western outskirts of the Bata´s area, behind the City heritage zone. Along the southern side of the property there is a railway no. 331 Otrokovice – Vizovice and a four-lane road which is the main traffic connection going through the entire city of Zlín. The main new function of the building is the adventure centre. It offers various activities such as trampoline gym, laser game, mirror maze, karaoke, indoor jungle gym for kids and adventure activities for adults. Apart from these, additional features can be found in the building, including a shopping mall, restaurant, offices, accommodation facilities and a café with a beautiful view of the city. The new function of the object brings an interesting feature to this part of the city and therefore makes the area more beautiful and attractive to people. Regarding the construction, the building has a rectangular ground plan, a flat roof and in the past it was functionally divided into 2 parts. The lower part with 6 floors was previously used as a fruit and vegetable warehouse. The second part with 10 floors is where the grain silos were situated. The load bearing skeleton is made of reinforced concrete round columns with a diameter of 650mm, in a ground plan grid of 6,15 x 6,15m which is typical for Baťa architecture. The floor slabs are made of reinforced concrete supported by stiffening secondary beams. The concrete frame structure is filled with brick masonry on the outer perimeter. The new functional use of the building keeps current state of the load bearing structures. A significant intervention is the demolition of walls between the silos, leaving only the load-bearing structure of columns and a modification the eastern and northern façade.

Conversion relating to vacant historical buildings of the castle Žďár nad Sázavou
Dzianová, Hana ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The area is located in the southern part of the castle complex in Zdar, land in an urban zone. The original function of the castle in Zdar was a Cistercian monastery, founded 02.05.1252, which is credited with the expansion of the region. The castle is close to important UNESCO World Heritage Site - Pilgrimage church of the John of Nepomuk on the Green hill, which is a prerequisite for tourism in the region. The architectural design is based on the idea of recovery of unused buildings for the benefit of tourism on the one hand and on the other hand, it seeks to enrich local communities and the region. Suggest a feature builds on the newly created Museum of the new generation, which represents the potential of tourism. The draft proposal seeks to complete the missing and necessary functions in the area while trying to build on the tradition and the original object function.

Evaluation criteria of industrial heritage - practical application
Zelik, Radovan ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Králová, Eva (referee) ; Staňková, Eva (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The protection of monuments in Slovakia is mostly concentrated on „classical“ examples of cultural heritage (castles, historical city centers). It is not paying much attention to industrial buildings, which are important documents of national development in European context from the era of industrialization. These buildings are often also on the edge of public interest, due to their brownfield character, what places then into the great risk. Because many of these buildings are in private hands, it is often complicated to define the protection policy. It is in the interest of healthy development of society to protect cultural heritage as part of its own identity. The thesis is monitoring approaches to protection of monuments in Slovakia, as well as in global context and offers alternative approaches in terms of protection of industrial heritage.

Conversion of the former textile factory Larisch and Sons in Krnov
Illéš, Juraj ; Deferová, Michaela (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the conversion of the area of the former textile factory Larisch and Sons in Krnov. The urban design of the area introduces a reinterpretation of the mill race corridor, and creates attractive public spaces connected with the castle area and the historic city center. New functions are proposed in today’s unused historic buildings. The buildings of the former spinning mill and warehouse are converted into administrative and residential premises. The buildings of the former sample room and the production hall house the museum of the textile industry. The architectural solution seeks to preserve the original historical values of the existing buildings and, through the proposed additions, to bring a modern architectural expression to the area that respects the industrial character of the place.

TRANSFORMATION OF AN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN PARTIZÁNSKE (SK)
Krátka, Barbora ; Grísová, Petra (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The content of this diploma thesis is an urban study with the architectural details of the former Bata Industrial Park in Partizánske, and a particular conversion program for the building. My goal was to find a suitable concept for converting building no. 61 with respect to the city, to the people living in it, and to reintegrate into the life of a building that is empty today, unused and dilapidated. The goal was not to forcefully fill the functions of the building, but in successive steps and phases to find a solution how to reuse the building and to point to the factory as a element of the city's foundation and also to highlight the unique architecture of the Baťa period.

Polná ideal, the castle and under the castle
Kapraľová, Kristína ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The aim of the work is regeneration and reclamation of the main formal places and points in the Polna town, on the level of the town (part of the town), the castle complex and the main court. Using the town acupuncture method and focusing on the main and the most important parts, I created the system of segments (plateaus), which like the separate elements create the appearance of the town as a whole. In my diploma thesis I focused on segment of castle complex. Using the gradual regeneration of the main formally important places and points, I created its overall “ideal” condition. The result of my work is the design of alternative use of castle complex and castle court elements.

Transformation of identity due to conversion and deconversion within non-traditional religious community
Šimková, Lívia ; Beláňová, Andrea (advisor)
This thesis deals with the transformation of identity caused by entering and leaving a non-traditional religious community. The aim of the work was to determine how identity is changed by conversion and deconversion within the religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses. The theoretical part is divided into three main chapters. The first is essentially devoted to religious conversion, where major psychological approaches to the study, the motifs and the process of conversion are presented. The second chapter focuses on identity, where attention is mainly on process-oriented theory, with emphasis on narrative representation. The last part of the theoretical section is devoted to the particular religious group Jehovah's Witnesses and new religious movements in general, with emphasis on the psychological aspects of their effect on the identity of the individual. The practical part is done in the form of semi- structured interviews with former members of the religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses, where the aim was to see how and in what way the identity of the respondents has been altered by accepting membership in this religious group and then terminating it. The research results indicate that membership in the religious community of Jehovah's Witnesses has deeply affected the life stories of my...
