Nexus in Opočno - Transformation of the school campus into a modern inclusive district in accordance with the development directions of the city and the region
Rusiňáková, Katarína ; Františák, Luboš (referee) ; Palacký, Jiří (advisor)
The current appearance of the former high school in Opočno has been unsatisfactory for a long time and has a lot of functional and aesthetic problems. The proposal comprehensively solves the use of the whole area, namely after consultation with the town management and also according to its requirements. The historical and architecturally valuable buildings are supplemented by new habitable buildings, which cultivate the space between them. It also separately deals with the new use of a block of flats. Thanks to that, the abandoned and enclosed area becomes accessible and a living part of the neighborhood. The renovation of the historic building is proposed in more detail, gaining a new function as a small health facility and also major building modifications to the gym. The entire design was developed according to the teachings of the Austrian architect Dietmar Eberle and his book 9x9.

Lebánková, Simona ; Mléčka, Jan (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
This architectural project presents a comprehensive concept of a residential complex that responds to current needs and trends in the housing sector. The proposed four new apartment buildings become part of the extension of the housing stock in the locality of the cadastral area of Brno-Štýřice. Their siting and design have been carefully considered with regard to the urban environment and spatial conditions offered by this location. The project also includes the introduction of a new residential street type D1 and the construction of a living space, which contributes to the functionality and attractiveness of the whole complex. The supporting structure of the houses is designed with an emphasis on safety and stability, with the reinforced concrete frame providing a solid foundation for the entire structure. The architectural concept emphasises sustainability and quality of life for the residents. The artistic representation of the ensemble is inspired by the surrounding landscape and seeks to fit organically into the environment. The simplicity, modularity and minimalist aesthetics of the building contribute to a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. Overall, this project is designed with a vision to provide a modern and functional living space that meets not only current standards, but also the expectations of residents in today‘s urban environment.

Relaxation and exercise center
Kalábková, Ladislava ; Obrtlík, Jan (referee) ; Májek, Jan (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the design of an administrative building on Soukenická Street in the bustling part of Brno. Currently, the plot houses buildings with zero utilization, deteriorating structures, and a parking lot. The entire area is unattractive, has limited use, and negatively affects the aesthetics of the intersection of two important streets – Soukenická and Hybešova. The architectural design includes the creation of an attractive corner building with multifunctional use, an underground garage, and a connection to the existing Malá Amerika building, which could have a new functional purpose as a commercial and restaurant passage or art studios. The administrative building offers a ground floor with a restaurant, bistro, café, and shop. Spaces are variable, allowing owners to customize them according to their needs. Additional above-ground floors are equipped with offices, both for larger groups and individuals. The seventh floor features a green accessible roof, a café, and meeting and presentation rooms. The bachelor thesis delves into the details of the administrative building section housing the main staircase with an elevator. Simultaneously, the design incorporates the connection of Soukenická Street with Malá Amerika through a passage in the proposed structure, aiming for potential future use of the building. The work stems from the architectural design studio in the second year, focusing on public structures.

Mix/Match
Hauke, Adriana ; Palaščak, Michal (referee) ; Manton, Ryan (advisor)
The project is centered around architectural design of a mixed-use building primarily tailored for residential purposes, with a specific focus on student accommodation. This decision is grounded in a thorough analysis of the surrounding area. I am proposing a design that integrates tennis club already existing on the site while introducing new functional elements. These include a café/bar, study spaces, interior sport hall with a padel court and a hostel. One of the tennis courts is on the ground and one is on a roof of the building. In my proposal, I am opening the site more to the public, allowing anyone to enjoy the views and atmosphere it offers, thereby creating a place for a community.

Small and medium-sized business complex Víchov
Žůrková, Anna ; Kříž, Aleš (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor’s thesis is the design of complex for small and medium sized businesses in village Víchov, situated in Plzeňský kraj. The initial idea was the creation of new work opportunities, which are considerably limited in the neighbouring area. The complex consists of two factory floors and an administration building, that is a subject of the project documentation. Each factory floor consists of six connectable units, which are sheathed in grey sandwich panels and visually differentiated by translucent coloured polycarbonate panels under the gable roof with a V cut out of it. Same motive is used for roof above the entrance hall of the administration building, and should evoke the first letter of the village, that the complex is situated in – Víchov. In the already mentioned entrance hall there is a spiral steel staircase, which is resolved as the architectural detail as the separate part of the thesis. For sheathing of the administration building is used a ventilated facade system from brick blocks, which in combination with painted steel and glass entrance hall evokes industry in its purest form. Flat roofs of the side wings of the administration building are designed as vegetative to minimize the loss of greenery because of building-up of the area and as a more responsible way to preserve rainwater. Complex is designed to enable easy access and transportation within and in and out of the complex not only for automobiles but also for trucks, to ensure the parking lots for workers and visitors of the complex and to enable transport by foot between the buildings with exploit of sidewalks and outdoor staircases. Part of the design is also replenishing the greenery and creating a new tree colonnade that should at least partially eliminate the noise from the service of the complex.

Winery Plchut
Charvátová, Michaela ; Muroň, Ivo (referee) ; Ležatka, Lukáš (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design of a new building of the family winery Plchut in Mutěnice. The design is based on the project developed in the course Architectural Design Studio 2 (AG032). The site itself is located on the north-western hillside of Zadní Hora at an altitude of 183 m above sea level, about 2 km from the centre. Almost at the end of a long cellar lane (Vinařská Street) leading from the centre of the village. The plot belongs to the area of ''Vinné búdy''. There is a rapid slope along the entire length of the plot, which is moderated in 2/3 of the plot towards the south-eastern side. The complex is accessible by a main visitor entrance via a paved road from the local road (Vinařská Street) and an entrance for staff and equipment from the adjacent side road leading to the vineyards. In the design, attention was paid to functionality, sufficient handling area and maintaining a simple and minimalist appearance. Therefore, the building is partially embedded in the ground. This hides a large amount of the overall mass of the complex. The buried objects take advantage of the thermal stability of the soil to cool the interior of the warehouses and production hall. All the buildings surround the handling yard and define its area with their volume, which also defines the production part of the whole complex. In order to visibly separate the public area used by visitors and the production area for employees, the building is divided into 2 height levels. The use of a combination of gabled tin and flat green roofs achieves a similarity to the surrounding wine cellars. The roofs and height differences and different finishes divide the overall building into multiple smaller units so that the overall building does not interfere so much with the building rhythm and order of the entire cellar alley.

Autocentre VW group Brno
Hejcman, Josef ; Bílek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the design of a car center for the VW Group in Brno. The car center includes a showroom with the sale of new cars from the brands VW, Seat, Škoda, and Audi, a spare parts shop, and a service center. The site under consideration is located in the Brno – Komárov district, between Sokolova and Hněvkovského streets. There is a planned construction of a road from Sokolova Street on the site, dividing it into two parts, with the car center situated in the larger part along Hněvkovského Street. The new road will provide access to the facility for vehicles. The proposed car center is a standalone two-story building consisting of two prismatic-shaped volumes connected to each other with a trapezoidal footprint. It is a structure with two halls made of a steel skeletal system with a reinforced concrete core between them. The halls are differentiated in terms of height, function, and color. The roof is green (vegetative) and equipped with solar panels. The showroom for the sale of new cars and the spare parts shop are located in the taller hall, which features a prominently glazed column-truss facade. This facade is followed by a Dri Design Tapered cassette system in a dark blue color (RAL 5026) at the level of the roof's supporting structure. The service area with a warehouse is situated in the smaller, more expansive hall, and its facade consists of vertically laid sandwich panels with a smooth surface in a light color (RAL 9016), and horizontally laid sandwich panels in the color RAL 5026 in columns around the doors and windows. The halls thus contrast with each other. The hygiene facilities for employees are located in the reinforced concrete core.

An apartment building with student dormitories on Peace Square in Brno
Vašková, Kateřina ; Klimecký, Martin (referee) ; Gerö, Jiří (advisor)
The subject of my bachelor's thesis focuses on the concept of a residential building and student dormitories in the urban district of Brno – Stránice. The studied area is situated in close proximity to Kraví Hory. The northwest boundary of the plot also represents the outskirts of Náměstí Míru. The southwest part of the plot adjoins existing student dormitories, while the southeast boundary connects to a local road, Cyril and Methodius gymnasium, and a secondary vocational school for pedagogy. The surroundings efficiently connect to urban transportation infrastructure, and in terms of automobile traffic, the area is linked to several main roads, with direct access from the north to the main road Údolní and further to the adjacent Lerchova Street. The proposed complex consists of a residential building and student dormitories. This work specifically addresses one of the two blocks of student dormitories, a four-story building with one underground floor. In the underground floor, there are garages and a technical room. The top of the building is terminated by a flat green roof. The construction is designed using a system of ceramic masonry, Porotherm, insulated with mineral wool. The ceilings are predominantly designed systematically, using the MIAKO ceiling system, with the exception of the ceiling above the basement. Each floor offers six dormitory rooms for two to three students, and from the second floor upwards, some rooms are supplemented with comfortable balconies. These rooms include a kitchen, bathroom and a living area. End rooms are specially designed for individuals with reduced mobility. Each floor's corridor provides space for communication, reading, or phone calls, thanks to the presence of seating furniture. The basement serves as garages and also houses a technical room. The building's facade is designed as plastered, complemented by window frames antracid coloured and railings in turquoise, contributing to young appearance of the entire structure.

Acoustic analysis of emotionally affected sentences in patients with Parkinson's disease
Gavlasová, Radka ; Kováč, Daniel (referee) ; Mekyska, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis focuses on Parkinson's disease and its effect on emotional expression in speech. The aim was to conduct a literature search on acoustic emotional analysis of PD patients and to implement acoustic parameters to distinguish between healthy and diseased individuals. The database used contained recordings of 100 patients with PD and 52 healthy controls for various speech tasks. For this analysis, 7 emotionally coloured sentences and 11 acoustic parameters were selected and implemented in Python. From the statistical analysis, it was found that the most significant parameters include pauses in speech and intensity variability. The XGBoost algorithm with 10-fold stratified cross-validation was used for classification. A total of 10 models were implemented to analyze all tasks together and each task separately. Optimization was performed using randomized search. For the combination of all tasks, the significant parameter was the variability in intensity or speech rate. For the individual speech tasks, variability in intonation and formant areas was highly significant. The best model achieved a 63% success rate (BACC) and 85% sensitivity. The results suggest that emotional prosody affects classification, confirming previous findings and pointing to the need for further investigation in this area.
