Never Build Heart of the State. Efforts to Build a New Parliament Building and Government District in Interwar Prague and Their Failure
Kober, Jan
The paper gives a short overview of the efforts to build the new building of the Parliament in Czechoslovakia between 1919 and 1928. In 1919, the Parliament moved to larger building of the Rudolfinum, the most important Prague concert and art exhibition hall. On the other hand, the pre-war endeavours to build a monumental university quarter at Letná plain were revised into the monumental parliament and government district after 1919. The paper follows two architectural competitions on Letná Plain (1920, 1928) as well as (selected) controversies between various actors (Parliament, State Regulatory Commission, Governmental offices, ambitious architects and professional organisations).

Metternich - Nobile - Metternich. Patronage as a relationship with a changing constant
Petrasová, Taťána
This paper examines the authorship of an artwork as the result of patronage in which the social capital of both participants - the artist and his patron - changes. Initially Metternich drew on the symbolic capital held by the Italian architect, who had studied in Rome. Later the balance of their relationship was reversed. The variable element in this patronage was the imbalance between how the patron and artist benefitted from their social capital - one in terms of representation, and the other in terms of success on the art market.

Svoboda, Jan ; Dolíhal, Luděk (referee) ; Hruška, Tomáš (advisor)
Tato práce se zabývá automatickou extrakcí informací o architektuře procesoru z jazyka CodAL. Získané informace jsou využity jako základ pro cenový model optimalizátoru překladače LLVM. V rámci práce vznikl nový systém, který vytváří cenový model, převádí jej do C++ kódu a sestavuje do dynamické knihovny. Tato knihovna je za běhu načtena překladačem a využita pro přesnější rozhodování o přínosech jednotlivých optimalizací. Výsledkem práce je průměrné 14% snížení velikosti strojového kódu programů a až 68% zlepšení výkonu generovaného kódu.

Provincial Mental Health Hospital Prague-Bohnice. Architecture and History
Krušina, Jan ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the architecture and history of the large area of today's Psychiatric Hospital in Bohnice, which was built in several stages between 1905-1925, considering the personality of architect Václav Roštlapil (1856-1930), who as a prominent figure participated in some representative buildings. The introduction focuses on the outset of a new field of psychiatry in the environment of the General Hospital in the New Town in Prague and especially the origin of a new typology in architecture, which then gradually spread to wider areas of Bohemia. The thesis clarifies the circumstances of the establishment of the Mental Health Hospital in Bohnice and is based on the study of archival materials, literature and tries to analyze the sources of its appearance, looking for sources of inspiration to put the Bohnice into historical context. In this thesis the hospital in Bohnice is seen as an exceptionally well-preserved example of this typology not only in the scale of individual buildings, but especially in the scale of the entire urban arrangement with the unmistakable Genius Loci. Keywords Architecture, turn of 19th and 20th century, art noveau, historicism, mental health hospitals, Václav Roštlapil, Mental Health Hospital Bohnice

Media image of Notre Dame Cathedral fire in the Czech press
Stuchlík, Jan ; Osvaldová, Barbora (advisor) ; Zunová, Anna (referee)
This bachelor's thesis focuses on the media image of the fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which broke out on Monday, April 15, 2019 and lasted until the morning of the next day. The cause of the fire of the building, which celebrated 850 years since its creation and which was made famous by a novel by the French writer Victor Hugo, is still debated. The most probable cause is a short circuit in the circuit of the electrified bell located in the sanctuary tower, from which the fire spread to the rest of the roof. The final form of the future reconstructed cathedral is still not agreed, but French President Macron promised a final repair within 5 years. The aforementioned Paris fire brought with it a wave of media interest among the world and Czech media. This topic was relevant both to print and online media, as well as to television broadcasting and social networks. Most information about the fire of Notre Dame Cathedral resonated with social networks, while the smallest number of mentions was in television news. I came to my findings on the basis of a quantitative content analysis of selected media in my chosen period from April 15 to May 31, 2019, for which I used the Maximus application. I processed my findings into graphs, in which the data are clearer.

WINE HOUSE NIKOLSBURG MIKULOV
Šiprová, Lucie ; Vojtěšek, Jiří (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor)
This thesis deals with designing a wine hotel for Nikolsburg winery in Mikulov. The goal was to design a hotel which incorporates storage and processing of wine, while complimenting the surrounding vineyard landscape. The site is situated between nature reserves Turold nad Růžový vrch. The main focus of the design was to allow for the best possible view of surrounding vineyards, Mikulov Chateau, Basilica in Svatý kopeček and Turold nature reserve. The work centers around 4-star hotel able to accommodate 30 people, which includes a restaurant, small wellness for hotel guests and suitable technical facilities. Additionaly, the building is equipped for clean wine production (fermentation, pressing, aging, bottling, labelling, storage and expedition) and features a degustation room. Basic concept of the hotel was derived from the slope of the terrain, viewing axes and geographic orientation. There is a number of terraces symbolizing moravian hills covered by vineyards, which offer guests unobscured view of the surrounding landscape (and investors vineyards). The whole operation of the hotel has to do with winemaking as is seen in the building design. Vertical features of the facade represent rows and vertical poles in vineyards.

Children, Youth and Adult Leisure Centre
Prachař, Jakub ; Žalmanová, Petra (referee) ; Šindlar, Jiljí (advisor) ; Kacálek, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is based on my architectural study which was made in the winter semester of my third year. The subject of my thesis is children, youth and adult leisure centre, which is located in a gap between the apartment building and the gymnasium on Mojmírovo náměstí in Brno-Královo Pole. The building is intended to complement the needs of residents of this city district. Complex contains two buildings (building S01 and S02). Inside you can find large and small multipurpose hall, two music classrooms and 3 normal classrooms. Building S01 has four floors and has two separate operating units - large multipurpose hall and leisure center (class rooms). Building S02 is single-storey and contains small multipurpose hall. The street facade has white plaster that contrasts with the black aluminum construction. This element reflects with the park on Mojmírovo náměstí, but also aims to draw attention to the building and its content. On the roof is a terrace with shelter structure that allows climbing plants to grow up. This will create a small "oasis" on the roof in the middle of the city. In the courtyard is designed space with a fountain, which is located on the axis of a large window in multipurpose hall. An access pavement connecting this yard with Košinova Street on the northeast side of the plot is also designed for the axis.

Connect Gallery
Nossek, Radim ; Cahel, Tomáš (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor) ; Pěnčík, Jan (advisor)
Gallery of modern art is located in the historical center of the Brno city. This part is known as "Ringstrasse". Following the Wiena ringstrasse, in Brno, this part is a place for important culture buildings. Close to the gallery, we can find several culture institutions, such as Mahen's theatre, Janacek's theatre, or House of culture. So, Gallery of modern art make's sense in these parts of the city. Main goal was to create a step between city part and city parks. The main inspiration, for me, was an old fortification object called bastion. It was build during baroco era and demolished in the times of Napoleon's wars. I want to bring back an object that formed old city and its surroundings, so its replacement will fit in. It's cascades with green teracces goes down towards the parks, that are next to the gallery.
