City Library, Lausanne
Jašek, Jiří ; Sedlák, Jaroslav (referee) ; Koleček, Ivan (advisor)
The main issue when designing libraries of Lausanne was an environment in which the library is located. The city is relatively steeply sloping from the Lac Léman and because they offer interesting views of the lake from many places in the city. In this system, when the views are oriented south toward the lake, is a territory that differs in structure from the rest of the city. The valley in which the river flowed Flon in the 19th century were filled on a flat surface vzikly industrial buildings with rational structure that crossed the railroad.

City Library, Lausanne
Turčan, Andrej ; Křikavová, Iva (referee) ; Koleček, Ivan (advisor)
Project for the new houses of city library and mediatheque, solves the concept of redesigning the old industry area Sevelin in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. Here should the new social and education district takes place, what brings a new metropolitan lifestyle. Two objects of library and mediatheque end up the rows of rational city grid at this platform. They define the new open space in between as a new entrance area on the platform Sevelin. It becomes also the extension of library activities to the urban space. Here also the new metro station takes place. Concept of the library – “house in house, city in the city” creates the group of three volumes situated under one roof. The houses of adults’ library, youth library and administration define two atriums in between. Here the life of the whole building meets together. Volume of mediatheque steps up the row and shows the new direction of our culture and media.

Základy vývoje řízeného sekvenčním uměním
Moravec, Martin ; Koubský, Petr (advisor) ; Tichý, Jan (referee)
To develop and deliver an innovative and technologically superior product is not enough to succeed when it does not meet the user's daily needs. To develop such a product, you need an abstract and easy to use communication platform for target users, decision makers, and developers, that can also act as a model of the relevant part of the real world displaced by a possible innovation, auxiliary tool in creating a mind map and documentation, and a way of promoting the final product. An instance of such a platform is a sophisticated comic book, itself an instance of sequential art. Not only is it a feature rich and intuitive tool for collaboration of interested parties with different backgrounds, skills and roles, but since it essentially reflects the relevant part of the real world displaced by the innovation, it's pretty easy and quick for a new user to learn and master. Although not limited to such instances, it can be found as an especially useful tool for crowdsourced and open source based projects. This thesis will lay down the much needed theoretical basis for the Sequential Art Driven Development method and offer a practical application of such method, with an open call for contributions from members of the crowd, in the form of a CC0 licensed comic book series "Who is Secret Agent X-9?", a showcase platform for cutting edge technologies like the Bitcoin network and Nemo Mobile operating system.

Comics studies. Potentials and perspectives
Kořínek, Pavel ; Jareš, Michal ; Foret, M. ; Prokúpek, T.
options and prospects presents texts based on working versions that were read out at the colloquium of the same name in 2011 in Olomouc. Thus a broad range of various subjects with different research approaches is represented, from historicizing excursions and individual schools, traditions and phenomena to interpretational insights into the possibilities of analysing comics material and its features, or theorizing contributions on problems of definition and methodology, to texts on individual “applied” views of work with comics in various fields. Hence to summarize, the publication presents selected perspectives from comics studies (mediological, semiotic, literary studies, narratological, historical, sociological, anthropological, translatological and pedagogical) and thus perhaps has the potential to become a 'new start' in domestic comicsological research, which on a world scale has been a dynamically developing humanities and social science field over the last few years. The attached poll then expands on papers and studies primarily from domestic researchers to include the reflections of comics studies from elsewhere. A set of archive materials then collects and for the first time entirely reprints several difficult-to-find picture series from the domestic tradition of this medium.

Uniform Mask "inner self" in the visual concept
FRENCL, Ondřej
The theoretical part of the thesis deals with an explanation of a relationship between individual ?Inner I? and a uniform mask behind which it´s hidden in the society, as it is described in C. G. Jung´s and E. Goffman´s work. The practical part is an individual interpretation of the topic in surface and space rendering, the default source of which is a form of a comics. For creation of contentual and formal aspects of its concept, it analyses thematically related work of the selected Czech authors who dealed with a human being and its inner life. For these analyses it uses also elementary findings from the theory of art and the psychology of art.

"And this here beetle". Attempts to depict Kafka's Metamorphosis in comics format
Jareš, Michal
This study deals with several attempts to depict Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis (1915) in a comics format. The first recalls the historical context in illustrations of Gregor Samsa. In the three selected comics cases the treatment shows gestures and additional explanations of some things, which are sometimes too literal. All three authors are artists from alternative comics. Two Americans, Robert Crumb and Peter Kuper, are complemented by an attempt by the Czech comics creator, Václav Gatarik. By means of a detailed comparison of some key scenes in Kafka’s story we attempt to show the issues behind the comics treatment.

Banal as a speech bubble - the adjective "comics" as genre specification
Kořínek, Pavel
The terminological confusion that is still present when considering the nature of comics (is it a genre, perhaps even literary a form or a medium?) is reflected in the usage of the adjective "komiksový" (comics, the adjectival form which in Czech refers specifically to comics) in texts of various media. This description is commonly used as a characterization that usually refers to specific formal, genre-based or subject-based similarities. However, in most cases this adjectival notation only revives genre stereotypes, or non-systematically marks the source medium of adapted material. Do "comics radio shows", "theatre comics" or "comics movies" exist? As the article argues, the most common reasons for labelling other-media texts as comics are: 1. formal proximity of the media involved, 2. the superhero genre, 3. animation or cartoon technique, 4. humour, dottiness, sometimes even the perceived qualitative inadequacy of the text under review.
