Woody Species of the Castle Gardens of the Pilsen-South District
Sedlák, Jan ; Havlíček, Petr (advisor) ; Mácová, Marcela (referee)
- 6 - 2 Abstract The aim of this degree work is to map out the chateau gardens in the Pilsen-South District. The work brings a list of woody species occurring in the areas under survey and evaluates the current status of the gardens in connection with their history. The research work was carried out at 8 localities: Dolní Lukavice, Hradiště u Blovic, Merklín, Ptenín, Spálené Poříčí, Šťáhlavy, Zelená Hora, and Žinkovy, the total area being approximately 38.6 ha. The field work was performed in the period from 2006 to 2008. The text is complemented with the garden maps drawn based on the field measurements and showing the most valuable woody species. The general part of the work specifies the natural conditions of the areas under survey and lists all the woody species found, classifying them into gymnosperms (Pinophyta) and angiosperms (Magnoliophyta). The second part describes the individual studied objects, their history, current situation and an inventory list of the taxa found. Currently measured dimensions are provided for the most important of them. 176 woody species in total, including cultivars, of which 46 were gymnosperms (Pinophyta) and 130 were angiosperms (Magnoliophyta), were found at the localities under survey. The gardens of the Žinkovy Chateau are the richest in the dendrological point of...

A natural explanation of complex numbers
Sedlák, Jan ; Krump, Lukáš (advisor) ; Slavík, Antonín (referee)
The thesis is concerned with the introduction of complex num- bers. This topic is often perceived by pupils and students as very mysterious. This is often due to excessive formality, to which more time is devoted than to the illustrative geometrical concept of complex numbers. As a result, the important theorems achieved by complex numbers in the field of mathema- tics are consequently skipped. This thesis focuses on an illustrative geometric view on the field of complex numbers that will facilitate the understanding of related undergraduate curriculum. The text is written for readers at the upper grades of high school and first years of college. Examples are also included to create a coherent text useful for teaching and self-study. 1

CO-HOUSING, Brno Židenice
Dušková, Petra ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The subject of the diploma thesis was the ideological elaboration of the architectural study of the building for community housing. The proposal follows the elaborated urban concept of Brno Židenice, specifically the territory, which is on the border of the city districts of Zábrdovice and Židenice. Already in this part I considered the social component in the architectural and urban planning designing a substantial representation and in this diploma thesis I further develop this social idea through a concrete house. The whole work is based on two principles, of which I am when designing the object. From the context of today, what effect it has on man, and in particular how this influence changes his way of life and his needs. I am further it was based on the principle of a specific place or city, and I tried in these two aspects to find connections and possible solutions. The result is a residential house, designed so that the very concept of co-housing, roommate, is not anchored only in the building itself, but that its significance could also be transmitted through the walls to the neighboring streets and other public ones space. So that roommates means not just sharing a home, but sharing together in streets and location where our home is located. To learn again to live together and not just side by side.

Ladislav Žák (1900-1973)
Dvořáková, Dita ; Švácha, Rostislav (advisor) ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Wittlich, Petr (referee)
This thesis investigates the life and work of the architect Ladislav Žák (1900-1973), who also engaged in painting and drawing, furniture design, landscape architecture and architectural theory. His work was rooted in systematic theoretical considerations. In addition to working as an architect, Žak was a high school drawing teacher (1924-1930) and a professor of garden and landscape architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (1946-1973). As a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, Žák studied painting with Professor Karel Krattner (1919-1924) and architecture with Professor Josef Gočár (1924-1927). In his early architectural and urban planning studies, as well as his furniture designs, he applied the principles of the new functionalist movement. He then followed the tenets of Le Corbusier's Purism into the 1930s. A characteristic attribute of all of Žak's work was a simultaneous consideration of tradition and a sensibility for current trends. This dichotomy was already present in his earliest theoretical writings.

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.

Auguste Perret and Czech Architecture
Veselá, Radmila ; Švácha, Rostislav (advisor) ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Halík, Pavel (referee)
Auguste Perret made his mark in history as the first architect to make use of ferroconcrete as an expressive material. The Rue Franklin apartments, the Garage Ponthieu, and the Church in Le Raincy are all milestones in the development of world architecture. In my dissertation, I have outlined the situation in the French architectural criticism in the first decades of the 20th century in order to provide background to Perret's career, which is chronologically treated in another part of the dissertation and completed with an overview of Perret's important buildings. I also wanted to demonstrate the interconnection of his projects with his theoretical thinking. I have referred to the sources of Perret's doctrine and presented the themes that this architect consistently developed throughout his creative life. In my research I took advantage of a rich collection of preserved archives of Perret's office, and both historical and contemporary literature. In another part of the dissertation, I attempted to find answers to the questions of Perret's reception in the Czech context and his contacts with Czech architects. I was also interested in Perret's relation to Czech architecture and in the last section I examined whether we can find works in Czech architecture that directly reflect Perret's influence. We...
