Housing for bro
Kropšová, Zuzana ; Šnajdarová, Helena (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
I have a brother with a mental disability. The moment when he will move away from his mom‘s house is slowly approaching. The question is: Where will he move? What will he do during the days? Where will he be able to work? Will he be able to live like most of us? Will he be useful and beneficial for society? Will people perceive him as someone who needs help or as someone who has something to offer? Architecture gives space to people. Space that forms them. Space has the power to unite people. It can tear down barriers which have been build during the years. Space can open up new possibilities. That is why I am convinced that I can find answers to my questions through architecture. In my work, I want to map the life of an adult with a mental disability and find a way how to integrate him into the mainstream society fully. I want to find a way how to make partners from clients. Since I have lived with a person with a mental disability for 15 years of my life, I will rely primarily on my personal experience. I tailored the work to my brother, but, at the same time, I want it to have a general outreach. I will draw inspiration from literature, legislation, and personal meetings.

Trusina, Tadeáš ; Kolářová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Synek, Michal (referee)
The diploma thesis is about the organisation Sdružení pro pomoc mentálně postiženým. Using the example of this enterprise, which was founded in the late 1960s from below and without political cover, the thesis tries to show the possibilities that parents of mentally handicapped children had at that time. From the beginning of its existence, this parent-based advocacy platform sought to highlight the paradoxical unsystematic nature of the domestic institutionalised system of care for the mentally disabled. Parents were bothered by the lack of choice, as there were only year-round institutions, restrictions on visits, and above all the impossibility of co-determining the fate of their mentally handicapped children. From the beginning, the Association tried to act as a partner of professionals and social welfare institutions as well as political representatives, both at the national and local level. At the same time, however, they had a clear and comprehensive programme, which they defined even before its official establishment. The issue is viewed through the concept of the "field of intellectual disability," an imaginary sociopolitical arena into which the Association entered as a new actor. Through the analysis of historical sources, the thesis focuses on the first 8 issues of the newsletter...
