Modernity and the Holocaust
Kolomazníková, Pavla ; Mačuda, Michal (referee) ; Rozwalka, Szymon (advisor)
The topic of the diploma thesis Modernity and the Holocaust refers to the book of the same name by the Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. In this book, Zykmund Bauman analyzes the relationship between modernist thinking and the Holocaust from a sociological perspective. In my diploma thesis I deal with the design of the Documentation Center, for which a closed architectural competition was announced in Brno. The topic is a continuation of the previous project, in which we analyzed mainly Bauman's work. These analyzes helped us to continue designing the center with a completely new perspective of thinking not only about the society, but also the architecture itself. In my project, I work with the issue of borders and barriers in connection with the division of people and spaces. I am looking for a ways of creatig the space that, by its very nature, call into question what is the real meaning of borders and barriers. In my proposal, I work with the idea of borders at different levels. As at the urban, service or material level.In my projcet I am disrupting som of the barriers and borders, I am creating new ones, but I am also reversing the relation ship between each other.

Modernity and the Holocaust
Harlenderová, Eva ; Štojdl, Václav (referee) ; Rozwalka, Szymon (advisor)
The diploma thesis builds on the knowledge gained during the preparation of the pre-diploma thesis in the previous semester. The main outputs for the thesis were the book Modernity and the Holocaust by the Polish sociologist Zygmund Bauman and the concept of „otherness“ defined by the architect Peter Eisenman when designing the Jewish Memorial in Berlin. On the basis of these findings, I prepared maps that dealt with otherness from the perspective of majority and minority societies and maps of the spread of the Jewish community in the city of Brno, which I subsequently based my diploma project on. The task of the diploma project is to design a Holocaust Documentation Centre in Moravia on a predetermined plot of land in Brno. A closed architectural competition was announced for this project. In the design of the above mentioned building, I try to capture the fluidity and changeability of the human community through the architectural language. I think of human society as a continuity and fluidity of individual cultures defined as minority and majority societies. Through architecture I try to express the intermingling, fluidity and instability of the hierarchy of minority and majority communities. In doing so, I create ambiguously dominant and submissive spaces. From one place a space may appear submissive, whereas from another it may appear more dominant.
