The Call of the Wild
Brokeš, Tomáš ; Šťastný, Martin (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
This project is a response to the call of the wilderness, and similarly to a trip to the desolate, inhospitable mountains, this work was a departure from the comfort zone of an urban environment. The project deals with an alternative view of the site of a former recreational area located in the protected landscape area of the Jeseníky Mountains, surrounded by mature trees on a hillside below a forest, in the village of Ostružná in northern Moravia. The proposal approaches this site with respect to the character of the Jeseníky Sudeten Mountains and creates a recreational area with a natural structure of buildings, which does not overpower the surrounding nature in its scale but fits in sensitively and unobtrusively. At the same time, the design reflects current requirements and needs of visitors, who seek an escape from a busy civilisation to a peaceful environment. In its essence and form the project seeks to distinguish itself from the former hotel and its forthcoming resurrection. On the contrary, it aims to build on an established morphology, supplementing it only with new elements, so that the new creation is still harmonious with the character of the landscape.

Munich agreement and the Versailles system of international relations
Miňovská, Veronika ; Veselý, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Šauer, Jaroslav (referee)
The thesis deals with the Versailles arrangement of international relations since its establishment at the Paris Peace Conference, through its changes in 20s and 30s, until its final disappearance. I try to argue, in the thesis, that the system's setting served Hitler as a powerful political weapon in negotiations with the Western powers. I seek for deeper clarification of causes leading to the signature of the Munich Agreement and I am also concerned with the policy of appeasement and the system of collective security which failed several times in 30s. Additionally, the thesis has ambition to shed some light on the Sudeten problem, that had been misused in favour of Hitler due to a well-targetted imperial propaganda of uprecedented proportions. Finally, a part of the paper is also devoted to the rise of Nazism in Germany, the circumstances under which it flourished and its later consequences.
