Fragile Future
Jedličková, Eliška ; Sobotka, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
Fragility, variability, immateriality... In my final master's thesis, I focused on the theme of fragility and shadow in visual art. I directed my initial idea towards the motif of fragility and transience. It's a topic that has interested me for quite some time. Where are the boundaries of fragility? How can the perception of this concept differ for each of us? Fragility can be understood as a certain material property, but also as an internal matter. In connection with this theme, I decided to work with shadow, which, for me, is in many ways fragile, elusive, variable, and has no material essence, real nature, or form. I thus chose to work with aesthetic and spiritual phenomena.

FROM EAST TO WEST: RELATIONS, COLLISIONS, AND DIVERGENCE OF CZECH AND JAPANESE CULTURE
Vaculík, David ; Čapková, Helena (referee) ; Mitášová, Monika (advisor)
The diploma thesis follows up the pre-diploma research dealing with the investigation of selected literature on Japanese traditional and modern architecture and gardens, archival research of extant 20th century buildings in Czech republic influenced by Czech-Japanese relations and the contemporary perception of Japan in the eyes of the Czech professional and uninitiated audience. It also includes a selective glossary of Japanese words and terms, containing study translations from English of selected architectural literature related to the topic. The output took the form of a Discovery Book with a short glossary, pictorial data and an anthology of translated texts. The thesis follows this preliminary "introductory research" with two main parts. The first part (A) explores concepts of space-making and spatial elements deeply rooted in Japanese traditional buildings as they were rediscovered and rethought, particularly by 20th century Japanese architects – who continued to use and revive these concepts in their own work. The text traces their understanding of Japanese traditional architecture. Then, using the example of three Japanese traditional spatial "icons", four works by 20th century Japanese architects, and three works by Czech architects in different phases of the 20th century, the thesis probes the relationship between these two architectural cultures in a European context. The second part (B) consists of texts on the architectural designing of model, utopian housing. The whole design follows a narrative – a scenario that shapes a temporal and spatial sequence that is not in line with the classical perception of time and space but spirals upwards. The next subsection interprets this story into spatio-temporal gradients and elements. Parts C and D contain conclusions and literature used. Model buildings are proposed on a range of scales: the smallest dwelling (a capsule), minimal dwelling, community dwelling, house, villa, city, and a coffin. The composition of the different scenarios and structures respects the movement along a spiral, where we can also observe the cyclical nature of life itself, which ends with the last terminal phase that escapes the gradient of scales – the coffin. These individual proposals are inspired by the studied phenomena and elements, texts and buildings of Japanese and European architecture with their interrelationships. The aim of this thesis is first to study the spatial, temporal, but also light and colour possibilities of Japanese traditional and modern architecture in the context of European, especially Czech, ones. Another aim is to propose a model-based, utopian housing project with a gradient layering of spaces, structures, materials, views and lighting based on various game strategies as well as the maxims of “Form follows fiction”.

In Space
Blatná, Hana ; Vítková, Lenka (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis is a series of fourteen drawings created exclusively using graphite. The drawings reflect a subjective view of the universe, inspired by archaic interpretations of planets and universe solids, conspiracy theories, black and white images of textures, surfaces, rocks and meteorites captured by modern technology. The drawings are an attempt to express hidden inner motives, personal mythology, the energy of the landscape, the relationship to nature. The paper is a parallel to the sky, a projection surface on which dreamy cosmic landscapes penetrate in imprints, geometric shapes and using perspective.

Moving Objects Detection in Video Sequences
Hochman, Zdeněk ; Juránek, Roman (referee) ; Španěl, Michal (advisor)
This thesis deals with moving objects detection in video sequences. The principal aim of such detection is to detect and locate motion in the image, separate individual objects, and track these objects. Subsequently, to eliminate shadows, the paper introduces method of motion detection based on Local Binary Patterns together with differential method above the HSV color space. The proposed method provides rapid and accurate movement detection in video sequences.

Návrh svietidla z umelého kameňa LG Hi-Macs
Harňáková, Barbora
In the process of creating a bachelor's thesis, a column lamp with possible variations was designed from LG Hi-Macs artificial stone. The work consists of two main parts, namely the theoretical and practical parts. In the first part, the material used, its development, technological processing and surface treatments are discussed today. It also includes the development of the design of lamps and light sources. The second part is already about the concrete, final design of the lamp, about the thought processes that gave rise to the ideal shape of the lamp. It lists all the necessary details related to the production of the final model as well as prototypes in which deficiencies were found.

The view from outside - the February revolution 1948 in the novels of Zdeněk Němeček, Egon Hostovský and Lubor Zink
Malinová, Lenka ; Schmarc, Vít (advisor) ; Vaněk, Václav (referee)
In her work, the author compares three novels of the exile writers, Egon Hostovský, Lubor Zink and Zdeněk Němeček. The novels Missing, February and the story Shadow bring together the theme of the February revolution in Czechoslovakia in 1948. The author grapple with three main topics, which appear in all three novels: binary worlds and dualism, betrayed word and image of the history. In this work these newfound motives are put into the context with the general principles of literature in exile.

Geometry of shadows
Tolkunova, Yulianna ; Surynková, Petra (advisor) ; Šarounová, Alena (referee)
Title: Geometry of shadows Author: Yulianna Tolkunova Department: Department of Mathematics Education Supervisor: RNDr. Petra Surynková, Ph.D. Abstract: The present thesis deals with geometric lighting and methods of its construction. In particular, it is directed at parallel lighting. The work includes a theoretical part, in which you can learn about the properties and basic concepts related to geometric lighting. Afterwards, there is a practical part, which contains a set of examples with their solutions and then unsolved examples for independent practice. The project is filled up with a number of pictures to enhance the reader's imagination about the principles and methods of lighting. In my work I emphasized intelligibility and usability of the methods listed there. In general, thesis Geometry of shadows is devoted to everybody who wants to learn more about the geometry of shadows. The work could be a useful study material for students and teachers of descriptive geometry.
