Restoration of the former fast in Hodíškov
Hron, Tomáš ; Špiller, Martin (referee) ; Guzdek, Adam (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is a proposal for the restoration of the former fast house with its farm part in Hodíškov. The project is based on the subject BGA032 – Architectural Studio 4 - Restoration of Monuments. The first mention of the fast house comes from reports in the town registers from 1462 and 1483. However, in these years the inn was already standing. The origins of the tavern are not clearly known. The actual establishment of the fast is assumed to have taken place around 1417, when a significant event took place in the village, namely the settlement of a dispute at Hodíškov between the abbot of Žďár, Jan, and Čeněk of Lipý, the lord of Nové Město. Between 1813 and 1945, the Linsbauer family owned the Hodíškov fast, which contributed to the elevation of the village and the region. They adapted the farmhouse and the yard to the present-day appearance of a chateau. In the period 1850-1866 the former building was rebuilt and adapted to its present form, together with the addition of an outbuilding. At the same time, the building represents several functions, where 1PP serves as a pub, 1NP as a social space with a clubhouse, kitchen and sanitary facilities. In 2NP there are starter flats and the attic space is not used at the same time. The utility area serves as a garage for farm vehicles. The deck space is also unused here. The municipality has an idea of using the building for starter flats. However, this solution is contrary to the planning documentation. The new use of the building will be in line with the planning documentation, will bring the building back to life and will contribute to the development of the village. It is an investment project, with the function of a hotel resort with temporary housing, wellness, restaurant facilities and a traditional pub for the residents of the village. In addition to the historic building, the project envisages a new building in the farmyard, which will unify the visual character of the farmyard. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to modify the object so that its full potential is used. At the same time, the historical form of the building and the genius loci of the whole plot should be preserved. The building will be treated as a historically valuable and listed building.

Navrátil, Oldřich ; Králová, Eva (referee) ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Ryšková, Michaela (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The main subject is evaluation of effective use in terms of care (not only within protection of monuments) in order to save and protect industrial heritage. Pointing out on critical issues connected with the end of production of traditional branches which played the key role in historical development of our cities. Nowadays abandoned buildings and sites are represented by memory of the place or its prosperity. New owners often don't share the positive approach to the industrial heritage, developers are seeking new sites, cities and inhabitants have developed new needs through the time. The work will demonstrate examples within European context and will make recommendations in monitoring and classification of industrial heritage to prevent undo able losses.

Evaluation criteria of industrial heritage - practical application
Zelik, Radovan ; Hrabec, Josef (referee) ; Králová, Eva (referee) ; Staňková, Eva (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
The protection of monuments in Slovakia is mostly concentrated on „classical“ examples of cultural heritage (castles, historical city centers). It is not paying much attention to industrial buildings, which are important documents of national development in European context from the era of industrialization. These buildings are often also on the edge of public interest, due to their brownfield character, what places then into the great risk. Because many of these buildings are in private hands, it is often complicated to define the protection policy. It is in the interest of healthy development of society to protect cultural heritage as part of its own identity. The thesis is monitoring approaches to protection of monuments in Slovakia, as well as in global context and offers alternative approaches in terms of protection of industrial heritage.

Reservoirs - Brno, Zluty kopec (Yellow hill)
Goncharenko, Anna ; Stýblo, Jakub (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the creation of a design for a new building of the center of contemporary art and architecture and the use of existing reservoirs on Yellow Hill in Brno with the possibility of changing their original function. The work deals with the possibilities of processing the original terrain and the connection of the proposed new buildings to existing reservoirs. Architecturally, it explores the possibilities of designing new buildings contextually with the current architectural expression of the surrounding buildings and past architecture. The current situation is that a beautiful architectural and engineering monument, such as the reservoirs on Yellow Hill, is practically closed to the eyes of ordinary people. Only one of the three reservoirs is open to visit - the oldest brick reservoir built in 1872. The main goal of my work was therefore to make the reservoir area accessible to the public and to give people the opportunity to visit all three reservoirs. To this end, it was necessary to design entrance pavilions and safe entrances to the reservoirs and to fill the reservoirs with a new function, because the reservoirs were terminated in 1997, when they were disconnected from the water supply network.

Restoration of the chateau in Velke Nemcice
Holíková, Ludmila ; Špiller, Martin (referee) ; Guzdek, Adam (advisor)
The subject of the bachelor thesis is the restoration of the chateau in Velké Němčice. The project is based on the subject AG033 - Architectural Design Studio 3 - restoration of monuments. The origins of the history of the castle in Velké Němčice probably date back to the middle of the 16th century when the original gothic fortress was rebuilt into a renaissance castle. The chateau has changed many owners over the centuries and has been rebuilt many times. During the second half of the 20th century, it was used for some time as a elementary school, then even as a small textile production or restaurant. At present is the chateau without usage. The current town councillors are planning to buy the castle from the state and use it as a municipality office of Velké Němčice. The project will also conclude the area around the castle, which should become a worthy cultural centre of the village. The area will work as a municipal park to be used for the recreation of residents. An important part of the project is adding of the greenery, new pavements, and central paved area for outdoor cultural events and the addition of benches or a children's playground. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to design the complex restoration of the chateau in Velké Němčice. However, the historic appearance of the chateau and the overall genius loci should be preserved. The castle will be treated as a historically valued and protected building.

VERBA DOCENT (Current Methodology Possibilities and Good Practices of European Heritage Care) I
Michalčáková, Jana ; Vácha, Zdeněk ; Fischer, Manfred F. ; Hellbrügge, Christoph ; Jesenský, Vít ; Keiser, Clemens
Jana Access to the widest possible range of information is the first precondition for the development of all specialised disciplines. Present-day heritage care and all the fields that shape it not only must reflect the national experience, but they must also be aware of the fact that they are part of the wider international context. Nevertheless, access to international sources can often be limited for various reasons. The National Heritage Institute decided to at least partially eliminate this obstacle through the newly established VERBA DOCENT series to make available significant foreign sources. The first modest undertaking is the presentation of three texts by German preservationists, covering about thirty years of the monument preservation discourse. The texts date from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, i.e. the time when at least from the end of the 1970s a need for the repeated return to the crucial issues of care for tangible cultural heritage decidedly emerged along with the questioning of approaches that had long been regarded as fixed and unchangeable. The featured works include Manfred F. Fischer’s reflection essay ‘How Long the Artworks Last?’, Christoph Hellbrügge’s article ‘Yes to Conservation, No to Restoration” – The Heritage Care Myth?’, and Clemens Kieser’s text ‘Secret Aesthetics of Heritage Care: Discovered and Invented Cultural Monuments’. The texts are introduced in German originals along with their Czech translations and accompanied by brief comments and portraits of the authors.

In the Name of Socialism, in the Shadow of the Monarchy: Post-War Monument Care in Central Europe
Bachtík, Jakub ; Johanidesová, Tereza ; Uhlíková, Tereza ; Giustino, Cathleen ; Sklenář, Michal ; Novotný, Michal ; Mahringer, Paul ; Lövai, Pál ; Spikić, Marko ; Janatková, Alena ; Meulen, Marcus ; Horáček, Martin ; Gaži, Martin ; Furkert, Alf ; Kovařík, David ; Radostová, Šárka
The collection of studies on the history of post-war monument care is based on the international conference Monuments and monument care in Czechoslovakia and other Central European countries during the second half of the 20th century, which took place in the spring of 2021. Selected contributions by authors from the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Croatia or Hungary map the institutional development of monument care in the countries of the former Habsburg Monarchy, a significant part of which was located on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain. The book thus offers not only a valuable comparison of the various systems of monument care within Central Europe, but also unusual material on the history of post-war European totalitarianism.

Architecture as an opportunity to work
Svobodová, Šárka ; Brůhová,, Klára (referee) ; Vorlík,, Petr (referee) ; Zálešák, Jan (advisor)
The dissertation focuses on the interconnectedness of architecture and visual arts in the period of 1945-1989. As the nature of the research tended to expand and its outputs were aimed both at theory (in publication outputs) and at curatorship, popularization and activism, the textual part of the dissertation is organized as a collection of published works and those accepted for publication. All five texts, provided with a common introduction and conclusion for the purposes of the dissertation, share the same overall theme and pose an identical research question – what did collaboration between women architects and women visual artists look like in the period in question? The author of the dissertation seeks answers to this question through five specific examples of creative personalities (architects Jan Dvořák and Igor Svoboda), objects (a villa with a studio by artist Imrich Vanek) and urban areas (the sports complex behind Lužánky in Brno and the Brno Reservoir). The collection of the texts then identifies and deals with current topics such as the complicated attitude of the Czech society to works created during the communist era and the related insufficient monument protection leading to an irreversible loss of material evidence of post-war architectural and artistic production in the territory of what is now the Czech Republic. The aim of the work is to point out, through concrete examples, the quality of the period production, with which the lack of protection and poor professional care by the relevant institutions is in marked contrast. Therefore, the practical outcome is a number of activities that go beyond the academic treatment of the topic. The most prominent of these include the exhibition project Rejected Heritage prepared for the Brno City Museum, the author's book of the same name and a series of accompanying public events. Popularization, media coverage and politicization of the topic, supported by expert research, are proving to be the most effective tools for saving the artistic and architectural heritage of the second half of the 20th century. The conclusion of the research is the conviction that the topic goes beyond the art history level and should be viewed from a socio-political perspective.
