Skřeková, Tereza ; Dohnal, Jakub (referee) ; Pěnčík, Jan (advisor)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the design of a crematory with two ceremonial halls. Building is situated on the high point, distanced from the surrounding buildings. There is a cemetery located five hundred meters from the crematory. Crematory is designed as a modern building, which has one above-ground floor from the most part, except of the large ceremonial hall that has two above-ground floors. This hall is a symbol of this structure. Vertical load-bearing system of exterior walls is 300mm wide made of Porotherm ceramic pieces, with exception of large ceremonial hall designed from reinforced concrete. Non-load bearing wall system is also made from Porotherm ceramic pieces. Roof is designed as a prefabricated rib-and-filler floor, except of the elevated part of large ceremonial hall designed from mono truss girders. The building is supported by the wall footing concrete system combined with the spread footing concrete system under the columns.

In contrast to the feelings and atmosphere associated with spa building stands crematorium as a reminder that our physicality is finite and fleeting life. Just as in spa rituals present moment experience free from the past and the future in the funeral liturgy, on the contrary, human life shrinks to a single point in time short ceremony. Consciousness of the time becomes a measure of the meaningfulness of our decisions, actions and experiences. You can live a meaningful life infinite?

History and ideological content of the crematorium in Czechoslovakia between two world wars
Svobodová, Markéta
The author shows the interrelation between crematory and the cremation movement in the Czechoslovak Republic. The individual conceptions of the buildings were primarily influenced by the ideas of the Crematorium Association, which propagated this modern form of incineration. The author, on the basis of individual buildings, attends to show how concrete ideas influenced the conceptions of these modern "ceremonial" forms.
