Struggle between civilization (culture) and nature (attempts forming a cultural maturity strategy)
VAVROUŠKOVÁ, Edita
People are not aware of the fact that we are living on the edge of a serious ecological disaster. One fifth of the population could afford to pollute our planet while these people are enjoying prosperity before the ecological problems begin directly to affect them, as the main culprits. The thesis is divided into seven parts. In the first part I analyze the roots of a conflict between culture and nature, the development of a relationship between humans and nature from the beginning of their existence and two evolutionary lines, cultural and natural. Further I explain the heart of the ecological disaster as well as an anti-natural characteristic of technology. In the second part I deal with the turning points in the evolution of technology. In the third part, I analyze the impact of technology and information on the time and the human labour. The fourth part is devoted to the analysis of the development of economy from the original gatherer-hunting economy to the today's modern economy. In the parts, five to seven, I analyze who is responsible for the depleted and devastated nature. Is it market economy, party politics or consumer society? The seventh part is engaged in the history of consumer society. The eighth part is focused on possible solutions to the conflict and on the ways how people could find way back and behave the way that they would not devastate natural systems from now. In the research part I am engaged in a question if we realize that our consumption of any various goods would have to be adequate and if we as humankind are willing lower our sights or if we are not interested in our future. I choose a qualitative research method for collecting data. A questionnaire is created for the purposes of my research. The questionnaire is divided into five parts focusing on social structure, transportation, consumption of energy, water and food. The research question is not answered clearly, the results differ in particular areas of consumption. In the area of transport 68 % of respondents use their own vehicle for the transportation to their work and they are not willing to change it. In the area of energy 69 % of respondents are not willing to lower the temperature while heating the rooms they live in. However, another result is more propitious. Only 26 % respondents of the quantity are not willing to invest into thermal insulation. 21 percent of respondents are not willing to refuse usage of domestic appliance or lower consumption of energy. Although the global scarcity of water is perceived as a serious or rather serious problem by 95 % of respondents only 56 % of them do not save water or they do not have any general knowledge about their own water consumption. Appliances saving water are not used and also would not be used in the future by 30 % of questioned people. 36 % of respondents throw away food into the waste but 80 per cent of them are willing to think more about what they buy and how they could use their unconsumed food. The thesis could be used by interested people (sociologists, teachers of ethics, etc.) as a research of thinking of common population and also as a foundation for thinking about nowadays values orientation of the society. Furthermore, it could be used as a study material for further consideration related to the willingness of people to re-evaluate their requirements in connection with our future generations. Keywords

Čábelková Nahorniaková, Marcela ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Budkeová, Branislava (referee) ; Glosová, Dagmar (referee) ; Menšíková, Naděžda (advisor)
Organic architecture is often used term especially in connection with the daring and experimental form. The exact definition or division is still missing. The founder of modern organic architecture is to be generally considered as Frank Loyd Wright. He was the man who created organic architecture and also made first definition in the early twentieth century, when formulating new architectural styles. Dissertation deals with insufficiently described problem of organic architecture. The main focus is on contemporary production of residential organic architecture in Central Europe. Especially on the particular realizations in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Germany and Poland. Beside detail description of European realizations, the dissertation deals also with foundations of organic architecture in U.S.A. and important realizations here. Modern organic architecture primarily originated in the United States of America. The work presents most important contemporary realizations and architects creating resident living organic architecture in other countries around the world in order to complete the overview. The objective of dissertation was describing newest trends in designing buildings for living. Find position of organic architecture and give reasons for it´s increasing popularity, spread and necessity for new development in architecture according to the new trends. Organic architecture is an alternative way of contemporary residential living. It´s popularity is growing in last years in response to the development of modern technologies and materials, the need to protect our natural resources and also to the increasing negatives of globalization and to denial of local traditions and regional specificities. Aspects of organic forms were divided into three main groups according to their main characteristics: form, harmony and sustainable development. Another objective was find location of contemporary organic residential architecture in Czech Republic and abroad. It is rather spread all over the world than concentrated on certain places. Therefore I selected countries that are richer than the others on the occurrence of organic buildings. The objective was also to address architects, specialists, public and especially university teachers of architecture and students themselves. Communication with them was mainly connected with grant project in 2010. The theme of grant project was contemporary organic architecture in residential living. There were lectures about contemporary organic architecture and exhibition on the theme: Contemporary living organic architecture. The publication of the catalog was published under the title: Contemporary organic houses - Europe. I had the opportunity to visit a number of organic family houses abroad. Specifically houses in Slovakia, Hungary and Germany. Results of survey, which was realized by questions to owners and authors of chosen buildings, are included in dissertation. The mail results of dissertation are - make a detail review of organic architecture in residential living - define trends in contemporary organic architecture and residential living - obtain and process answers from owners and authors of chosen buildings within survey - analysis of organic house ( houses) in city planning and landscape - publication of catalogue focused on organic contemporary European houses - article about contemporary organic architecture and residential living will be published in 2012 on archiweb page

Chaos
Vogelová, Tereza ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Stratil, Václav (advisor)
The existing world is becoming more disrupted and is falling apart. For its resurrection and restoration, a new way of thinking is necessary. This new type of thinking is needed to be able to open up its mind and to think about the process of thinking itself; it must understand what is happening in other systems, where processes seem to be taking place by themselves without any other visible interference. First Chaos is the title for an intermedia installation which contains 90 black and white photographs, both digital and analogue, all of which were taken between the years 2008 and 2012. Together, the photographs create one coherent piece – a kind of sculpture. They can evoke a "still film" with a non-linear, cyclical storyline, whilst the images can simultaneously function individually, without any connection to other photographs.
