New synagogue in Opava
Gášek, Daniel ; Velek, Jan (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The aim of the thesis was to create an architectural study of the new synagogue in Opava. Similarly to many other towns and cities, the former synagogue was burned during Kristallnacht, the ruins were completely demolished and taken away. Nowadays there are no buildings on the site, except the former Rabbi’s house. Basic idea was in preserving the park character of the site by insertion of a non-arrogant low cuboid volume in the neighbourhood of apartment buildings from the first half of the 20th century. Designed form benefits from the character of the site while humbly avoiding construction on the actual place where the burnt synagogue stood. This creates an elegant, low object, whose two dominant ceiling slabs are filled with glass in between so it preserves a part of the park’s existing transparency and let the interior freely connect with exterior, also thanks to large sliding windows. In the center of the block is situated three sides closed atrium, which surrounds the new synagogue, into whose interior delicate scattered sunlight penetrates through the translucent onyx stone walls.

Edges of Cedar Grove
Luksch, Vojtěch ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
In my diploma, I focus on painting landscapes from the virtual environment of computer games from the turn of the millennium, which with their imperfect graphics are reminiscent of modernist approaches in painting at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. I try to capture the absurd digital visuality of nature, such as angular hills, trees or bushes, in such a way that the image creates the impression or at least evokes the feeling of a modernist work. At the same time, thanks to the relatively free movement in the game landscapes, the paintings become a kind of virtual plein air, where I find motifs and compositions for painting.

Resurrection of Jessus of Nazareth as a Question of Hermeneutics
Mašatová, Nina ; Lukeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Pospíšil, Ctirad Václav (referee)
The thesis deals with the message of the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, which is crucial for Christianity and its relevant hermeneutical approach. In the first chapter we analyze the contemporary hermeneutical context of the message within the Hellenistic and Hebrew cultures. In the second chapter we present an analysis of pre-Pauline faith confessions, Paul's texts and synoptic Gospels focused on targeted formulating of the message for respective communities and their cultural background. The last chapter wants to present some contemporary relevant hermeneutical approaches to this message. One of them could be the so called mythmaking, which emphasizes the necessity of permanent updating of accepted opinions, messages and realities. We can observe the mythmaking process already with the New Testament authors and each and also our generation is expected to bring the message about the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth to future generations in a relevant way.

J.R.R. Tolkien or "There to the roofs of the inspiration and back to the modern novel again"
Růžková, Johana ; Med, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Bedřich, Martin (referee)

Tolkien's theoretical reflections on the topic of myth and fairy-tale are outlined as well. Discussed are also the professional, reader's and literary reflections on Tolkien's work and therefore a general appraisal of this unique appearance in the frames of the modern literature.

Villa Müller versus Villa Tugendhat - A Comparison of Two Different Restoration Projects of Modernist Buildings
Ksandr, Karel ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Lahoda, Vojtěch (referee)
1 English abstract: Villa Müller versus Villa Tugendhat - A Comparison of Two Different Restoration Projects of Modernist Buildings. The work compares two successful restorations of interwar Czechoslovak avant-garde buildings realized between 1995 and 2012. At first, the respective histories of both buildings are compared since their creation through two totalitarian regimes up to their restoration. The fates of builders and architects of both villas are also described. From the point of view of historic preservation the work describes the state of both buildings before the commencement of restoration. The errors committed by the original designers are also described here. The methodology of restoration of both villas stemming from the professional points of view and relevant laws governing heritage protection is also treated in detail. The emphasis is given on preparation works preceding the design phase - the historic-structural survey, which, in both cases, was conceived as above-standard. Due to their span, these surveys have marked a key moment in relation to the modern cultural heritage within the Czech context. In the last part of the work links and comparisons are given to similar modern cultural heritage objects abroad. The work also documents the influence these two restorations have had on...
