Garden as an Aesthetic Object
Matějková, Magdalena ; Dadejík, Ondřej (advisor) ; Zuska, Vlastimil (referee)
This text is focused on garden as a specific object of aesthetic appreciation. Its first part discovers some of the specificities of this aesthetic object, among others, its high variability, unpredictability and complexity. Within an accordingly formed aesthetic experience, perceiver's attention is focused on the temporal dimension of experience and his reflection is intensified. The same happens while experiencing melancholy, which can therefore be considered for a specific aesthetic emotion. After these considerations, cemetery appears to be an ideal environment for an aesthetic experience of garden tinged with melancholy. The natural proximity between garden and cemetery is emphasized thanks to the secularisation of death which makes it easier to employ a scientific narrative in the constitution of aesthetic value of both garden and cemetery. Key terms Garden, melancholy, cemetery, environment, reflection, aesthetic experience

Estetické aspekty přechodu sídla do krajiny
Pařízková, Kateřina
The thesis discusses aesthetic aspects of the transition between a settlement and landscape. The first part deals with the topic from a theoretical perspective. It introduces the issue of aesthetic attitude, experience and their importance, and it identifies inconsistencies in how practical landscape protection approaches aesthetic dimension in comparison to the discipline of aesthetics. The second part of the thesis discusses aesthetic aspects of the transition between a settlement and landscape on a model case of several communities united in the Modré hory microregion -- namely Velké Pavlovice, Bořetice, Kobylí, Vrbice and Němčičky. Based on the selected methodology, we have conducted an analysis of the settlements' development, evaluated their transition into landscape, identified any weaknesses and proposed their corrections.
