Construction of an Experimental Vehicle Chassis Using the Lego System
Kratochvíl, Jan ; Porteš, Petr (referee) ; Svída, David (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the development of an experimental vehicle chassis using LEGO system parts with the aim of creating a platform for development of autonomous driving. To achieve this goal, the experimental vehicle chassis must meet the parameters and characteristics of real automobiles. Therefore, research was conducted to investigate the parameters and examine requirements for steering geometry, wheel bearings, arm structures, hub structures, and other key components of the chassis, as well as the approaches used to address these parameters in official LEGO models. Based on these findings, an initial model was assembled using only LEGO system parts, on which these parameters were evaluated. Limitations of the LEGO system were identified in wheel bearings, arms, and hubs. Subsequently, design modifications were made to these parts, including the use of rolling ball bearings and the production of arms and hubs using 3D printing technology. The second model, constructed using these modified parts, already met the mentioned requirements and approached the chassis of real automobiles.

The diploma thesis deals with the expansion of the Židenice cemetery. The new cemetery offers a more ecological form of burial - composting of bodies. Because of this, a building is designed in which the ceremonies and the composting process will take place. The resulting compost can be picked up by the bereaved and placed next to the trees in the cemetery area. The area will serve as a public space on the border between the cemetery and the park.
Architecture in the era of housing crisis
Hobzová, Petra ; Jourová, Drahoslava (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
My diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project with the same name, namely "Architecture in the Time of the Housing Crisis." In the theoretical part, together with two female classmates, we analyzed the development of housing from the industrial revolution to current housing trends around the world within the framework of different time sectors. The result is a detailed analysis of topics that, in our opinion, are connected to the housing crisis, whether it is a historical or a current one. We also analyzed the current principles of participatory housing, which can be a suitable path for the Czech Republic to more affordable housing within various social groups. I myself was interested in the approach of the city of Brno and its pilot project of affordable cooperative housing. Cooperative housing is an advantageous combination of ownership and rental housing. This is mainly a very good solution for young families who cannot afford a mortgage due to a lack of funds. Funds for the construction of the apartment are provided by the cooperative, the tenant - member of the cooperative makes an initial membership deposit and the rest of the share is paid in the form of rent. A cooperative member rents an apartment from the cooperative, and after paying off the loan, the apartment becomes his property. I design commercial areas and common areas as part of houses, usually on the ground floor of houses. The four- and five-story apartment buildings have shared roof terraces. Residents of all apartment buildings share common gardens where they grow their own vegetables and plants. Together, they also take care of operation and maintenance, when shared spaces can be rented out for other temporary use. Commercial premises procure a regular financial contribution for the cooperative, which gradually repays the construction loan. As part of my diploma thesis, I decided to create an apartment complex in the countryside, as a comfortable multi-generational living, which will meet the standards of the present time. The advantage of this location is the close accessibility to the center of Brno in connection with public transport. For my solution, I chose the abandoned site of Kohn's brickyard on Červené kopci. Currently, there is a brownfield and a large horticulture colony.
Architecture in the era of housing crisis

The diploma thesis is based on a pre-diploma project that focused on different approaches to solving the housing crisis. It was based on the evaluation of information on current trends in housing, but also on the history of global and local solutions to the problem. This was followed by the selection of a location suitable for the design of a residential complex. I focused on the Brno brownfields. The area in question belongs to the development locations of Brno, so a new attractive district should be created in its immediate vicinity in the future, to which I decided to respond. The goal of the proposed urban planning part was to connect and make the selected plot as accessible as possible in connection with the proposed development in the vicinity. The solution to the traffic situation in the locality and the connection of existing roads with newly proposed ones became part of the work. The proposal itself is then carried out in the spirit of respect for the given territory and the use of participatory housing to solve the crisis. The proposal consists of several parts, the aim of which is to fill existing gaps, replace unsuitable objects and find a way to use the complicatedly shaped brownfield. In the final design, I am trying to create pleasant housing near the city center, which is surrounded by greenery, responds to current needs, saves energy and is a response to the housing crisis.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to design a residential complex on the territory of the city of Brno, ideally on the site of a brownfield or on an inappropriately used land such as a horticultural land. The design should take into account trends in housing and construction and also offer solutions to current social problems. As the selected area for the thesis I have chosen the gardening complex on Žlutý Kopec, which is located at a relatively short distance from the city centre. New studies and projects are already being developed in the area to better use its potential and to make it more accessible. In the project, I am focusing on an alternative way of building - baugruppe, which is better known in neighboring countries but offers us a chance to find interesting housing solutions in contrast to development projects. That gives residents the opportunity to create individual solutions that suit each of them while finding a compromise for living together in peace and contentment. The area mostly consists of flats, but we can find there also smaller premises such as gym, coworking, etc. The addition of outdoor activities, playgrounds and sitting areas completes the whole of participatory living with strong social ties.
The Role of Coin Production and its Acceptance in Shaping the Power Structure of Early Medieval Czech Society
Kratochvíl, Jan ; Štemberk, Jan (advisor) ; Charvát, Petr (referee) ; Květina, Petr (referee)
The Ph.D. theses Role of Coin Production and Acceptance in Shaping the Power Structure of Early Bohemian medieval society discusses the earliest historical payment instruments,which appearance is assumed to have occurred in Bohemia in the 10th century. It looks at them, however, through a non-economic prism, the establishment of which is preceded by a critique of existing interpretations. The subject of the research are Slavic payment clothes and the oldest denarii minted in the Bohemian Duchy. The thesis formulates a new hypothesis about the way in which Slavic clothes could have fulfilled certain functions that we nowadays identify with payment. This hypothesis is based on the assumption of a different organization of economic relations in early medieval society. On the basis of this assumed organisation of social relations, a social crisis is subsequently reconstructed, the reflection of which is identified in the St Wenceslas legends, for which a new source of inspiration, Livy's Ab urbe condita libri, is also revealed. The hypothesis about the functioning of Slavic payment clothes is thus subsequently linked with the sources into a broader interpretative whole. The coins are viewed in this work in a chartalist and practical metallist manner, in opposition to the theoretical metallist approach....
The Call of the Wild
Šmihuľa, Bernard ; Ježková, Tereza (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
Architecture is a fundamental element of cultural heritage, and the restoration of historic buildings can be key to preserving the heritage of past generations. By studying the historical context, we can better understand the meaning of the building and the role it played in its time. This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the recreation of the Spa Sivá Brada, which was once an important social center in the local region. Unfortunately, due to the controversial events that took place during the period of communism and the beginnings of the independent Slovak Republic, the spa is no longer standing today. The work deals with the historical significance of the spa and its impact on the local community. The study also analyzes the potential benefits of the recreation of the spas, such as the use of the potential of the healing waters in the area or the tourism increase. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to point out the importance of the Spa Sivá brada restoration and to stimulate a public debate through a comprehensive analysis of the history, current state and potential design of the Spa Sivá Brada.

Recreation is undergoing great changes nowadays, people are again longing for nature, which gives them peace and rest from everyday worries. However, recreational areas in the Czech Republic often do not meet the requirements of today. One such requirement is that the area should be barrier-free and provide facilities for cyclists. The work focuses on the Elbe Trail, which is popular not only in the Czech Republic but also attracts a large number of foreign cyclists. However, there is not a sufficient network of campsites to provide sufficient facilities for them. The design of the new site in Bílá Třemešná corresponds to all these aspects and with its modern nature-inspired appearance provides attractive facilities not only for cyclists, but also for visitors to the Královédvorská Zoo and all those looking for a quiet place for a break from today‘s hectic times.

The subject of the bachelor thesis is the revitalization of the non-functional recreation area in Manínská Tiesňava, in the Považská Teplá district. The project restores the function of accommodation to the area and adds new functions to it so that its operation is sustainable throughout the year and meets modern requirements for temporary accommodation. It creates a new economic value in the locality and brings back the once developed tourism to the place. It deals with the sustainability of both operations and the use of renewable energy sources. The design is in harmony with the landscape and through inspiration from local traditional architecture, uses proven building principles in the selected location.

The bachelor thesis focuses on the revitalization and modern design of the current Olšovec campsite. This campsite in Jedovnice was chosen because it does not meet current requirements and its lucrative location creates an opportunity that is not fully exploited. The work focuses not only on revitalisation but also on taking into account current trends and adapting to the requirements of existing clients. The overall design is created in the style of ecology and symbiosis of architecture with nature.
