REBUILDING AND REVITALIZATION OF THE FORMER RECREATION CENTER
Kuklínková, Nela ; Vacková, Michaela (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The main object of this master´s thesis is recreation area operated by a non-profit organization in Černá Hora in district Blansko. The aim of the work is to evaluate the potential of the area. This thesis provides the ideas and interventions which allow more effective, more self-sufficient, economically, and ecologically sustainable yearlong operation. The brief of designed buildings and modifications was determined by previous analysis and consultation with the site operator. The result of the work are individual interventions in the sense of proposed changes and modifications in the area. The thesis also includes a chronological arrangement of the interventions in a real timeline according to their feasibility.

The Essence of earthen Architecture in the Czech Republic
Bažík, Lenka ; Pifko,, Henrich (referee) ; Novotný,, Martin (referee) ; Žabičková, Ivana (advisor)
For ten thousand years people have used earthen building material in their homes and in just the last hundred years advanced society has gradually turned away from it due to the development of modern technology. Earth is currently of little use as a building material, but it is gradually increasing with the importance of sustainability. Earth has its place in contemporary modern architecture and this is what this work tries to point out. The research is based on the assumption that each building material gravitates with its properties, composition and also the knowledge of the builder to create a certain space. Different building materials define different spaces, different construction uses and different details. This research defined the network of knowledge with the central themes of the essence of earthen architecture by the method of grounded theory and subsequently applied the theory in the design of a model case. The proposed small structure represents an ideal rendering of the space from a single material on the basis of acquired and known information about this material. It has massive earthen walls, which man created himself and it provides him the shelter. The shelter rises smoothly from the ground, its main source, it has soft round features, which were created by the touch of human hands, and when it expires, it naturally merges with the ground again.

Post-war housing: reuse to rebuilt Ukraine
Dimitrisina, Olivia ; Ponomaryova, Anastasiya (referee) ; Mielczarek, Zuzanna Irena (advisor)
The diploma project focuses on the design proposals for post-war affordable housing. The challenge of the project is to design new affordable housing for people by reusing the existing architecture and construction materials. Another important task is to create a sense of a safe integrated community with the tool of architecture. The aim of the project is to contribute to the future rebuilding process of the country by offering a recovery plan for affordable housing.

Experimental Measurement of Dynamic Changes in the Basis Weight of Vegetation Walls and Facades Due to Evapotranspiration
Vystrčil, Jan ; Nespěšný, Ondřej ; Cakl, Dominik
Green wall and facade systems are a modern element of building construction. To ensure the correct design and functionality of these systems during their life cycle, it is necessary to describe their properties. One of the basic properties of facade and cladding elements is the basis weight. It depends on the chosen system of vegetation wall or facade, the chosen amount, and species representation of vegetation and, last but not least on the surrounding conditions of the installation site. Given that these are living elements, it must be stated that this property cannot be expressed in a single value, but in a mass range. Due to the great difference between these systems and standard cladding or façade elements, standard testing methods are not applicable for determining the basis weight. This paper describes a possible methodology for determining the basis weight of vegetation facade systems and their changes over time.

Udržitelná hliněná architektura
Bažík, Lenka
Sustainable architecture must meet environmental, sociocultural and economic criteria. Based on analysis and interpretation, this paper explores to what extent earthen building material meets these categories. Earth is a traditional, environmentally friendly, recyclable material that has a positive effect on human health. The aim of this paper is to evaluate earthen building material in terms of sustainable architecture.

Which one is the right one? Evaluation of buildings from the energy and costs saving perspective
Špot, Marek ; Říha, Cyril (advisor) ; Klápště, Petr (referee)
The thesis concentrates on residential buildings evaluation from energy and financial savings perspective. More than 40 % of the total man-induced energy consumption is directed to building construction and maintenance. In these buildings, we spend majority of our lives. The aim of the study is thus to support the discussion about the benefits from new, both energetically and environmentally considerate building trends. Theoretical part of the thesis is devoted to ecologically efficient family houses and their distinctive features in comparison to commonly built houses, whereas empirical part compares these building types from the energetic and financial viewpoint. Thesis goes on with most frequent ,myths' about sustainable architecture. As a conclusion, the study aims to point out which building type is the most advantageous in terms of energy, finance, sustainability etc. Keywords: Sustainable architecture, Passive house, Energy savings, Sustainable development

Vertical farms
Kesanová, Michaela
We perceive more intensively that forms of our settlement as well as our livelihood methods are functionally incompatible with the limited natural resources of planet Earth. The concept of vertical farms offers new insights into the possibilities for effective use of architecture creating a source of food in itself. It brings together the technology of cultivation without soil in a controlled environment of architecture. The greatest importance is in maximizing the surface using a vertical plane in the design of vertical farm, of which we are able to gather the harvest. Typologically, the most important element in the entity of vertical farm is a component of hydroponic cultivation. In terms of content there are two basic categories of vertical farms. Depending on the degree of food distribution, vertical farms can be attached to existing typologies or freestanding. Examination of a sample of projects shows three types of vertical farms, depending on the concentration of the various types of production and ancillary functions. The aim of the paper is to explore the special type of public buildings – vertical farms; to find suitable reference examples from all over the world by exploring the current state of surveyed problems; to choose the studied samples and those subjected to the chosen scientific method of exploration - evaluation of selected properties of studied samples by applying boundary conditions; to formulate recommendations / guidelines for the architectural design of vertical farms according to the results of the research. Architecture loses its meaning without the existence of people, and therefore should be interested in issues of food security. Effective utilization of the natural environment begins by managing our own existence and the environment that we create.
