Modernity and the Holocaust
 Harlenderová, Eva ; Štojdl, Václav (referee) ; Rozwalka, Szymon (advisor)
The diploma thesis builds on the knowledge gained during the preparation of the pre-diploma thesis in the previous semester. The main outputs for the thesis were the book Modernity and the Holocaust by the Polish sociologist Zygmund Bauman and the concept of „otherness“ defined by the architect Peter Eisenman when designing the Jewish Memorial in Berlin. On the basis of these findings, I prepared maps that dealt with otherness from the perspective of majority and minority societies and maps of the spread of the Jewish community in the city of Brno, which I subsequently based my diploma project on. The task of the diploma project is to design a Holocaust Documentation Centre in Moravia on a predetermined plot of land in Brno. A closed architectural competition was announced for this project. In the design of the above mentioned building, I try to capture the fluidity and changeability of the human community through the architectural language. I think of human society as a continuity and fluidity of individual cultures defined as minority and majority societies. Through architecture I try to express the intermingling, fluidity and instability of the hierarchy of minority and majority communities. In doing so, I create ambiguously dominant and submissive spaces. From one place a space may appear submissive, whereas from another it may appear more dominant.
