Trees Have the Power
Mikušková, Nina ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Kovářová, Marta (advisor)
The project "Trees Have The Power" is being developed since 2013 and revolves around the strength of interpersonal connections experienced throughout our lives. It points out the reality, that we all create our own micro-cosmos around us, shaped and expanded by every new person we meet. First phase of the project involved exhibition of a tree within a gallery, which served as a metaphor of an ever expanding organism. For the second phase an online social platform was developed, to map out and connect my personal contacts. The third outcome offers space to present the "tree". By involving people from my own personal tree of connections, we are creating lectures, interactive events, concerts, film screenings, and discussions focused on multiple aspects of life. The aim is both to test the skills and initiative of a specific community as a driving force in sharing and accumulating knowledge and experience; and at the same time to demonstrate the magnitude of impact of such activity. This unorthodox framework of encounter offers opportunity to generate new perspectives within the community, and enrich the audience.

Revitalization Program of Floral Garden in Kromeriz
Guzdek, Adam ; Šupler, Libor (referee) ; Jura, Pavel (advisor)
Today's entrance through honorable courtyard is so representative that there's no sense of replacing it by a new one anywhere else. The entrance object has a triangular tympanum including Maxmilian Josef's gold signature and coat of arms. It looks like noble city palace of that period. Sense of the first floor, so called piano nobile, is slightly recognizing on a facade. It's the floor with a larger high that's intended for representation. Therefore I decided to use the historical object fully and all the visitors' equipment, exhibition and lecture spaces are placed right here. New-buildings in the garden are minimized that way. I conceived both of the resolving gardens very sparingly. The reason is their historical essence. Always they were only related to the formal part of the Flower garden. Premises used for any purpose (breeding of rare birds, resource for rabbit hill, growing tulips and oranges). Květnice with the cut lane walls to allow the visitor facilities and provide some exciting long-distance views Converging walls, disorientation in space, entertainment in the bowling alley, in the maze. These elements should remain a formal part of the garden today. They should be isolated and without competition. I design gardens with order, as well as the designed Libosad itself.

To Dvur Kralove by train - Transfer Terminal in Dvur Kralove nad Labem
Vítková, Kateřina ; Kristek, Jan (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Design of transfer terminal for Dvůr Králové nad Labem, which will allow the transfer between the train, regional bus and urban public transport and will connect the city to the overall infrastructure of the Czech Republic. It is intended to use the existing industrial spur leading from the railway station to the Teplárna Dvůr Králové nad Labem. In addition to its own transport function, the design of the civic amenities is also envisaged. The new terminal will also serve as a gateway to the city. When designing a conceptual solution, it was a decisive intention to take the terminal as a place where the transport solution goes hand in hand with the public space. Terminal is in this case undeunderstood as an impetus for the development of the territory. Not only it does have to fulfill its transport function perfectly, it should also serve as a public space and connect neighboring non-homogeneous entities. Definition (promenade), filling / interconnection (trees), opening (free area - soft border). The contrast of the covered subtle promenade and the massive masses. The two sides of the triangular parcel are clearly defined by the covered promenade. To the so-called street queue are placed individual functions in the form of units 6x6 m. From the west direction there is the ending of railway inserted to the promenade and an island platform used also for the tram stop, which passes the passage from the inside. The resulting courtyard is formed by a regular tree raster, which creates a clearly defined composite space in a disparate area. This "forest" optically unifies the site and acts as the core of the entire terminal. In perspective freake, the forest while passing through the terminal change, sometimes it creates lines, sometimes surfaces. It does not define clearly the exit nor the entrance, it is open in all directions. Bus platforms are integrated into the raster of trees. While waiting for the bus, one is protected by a vault of trees. Buses leave the orchard and pass through the promenade out of the terminal to 28th October street. Towards the center, Tesco and Christmas decorations, the open space is created, creates a soft border, allows free movement of people in all directions. The vision for the future also involves continuation of the tram line further into the center. The tram would go through the tree trunks out of the terminal around the Christmas decorations. Neighboring Tesco is seen here as an opportunity, it is embedded in the terminal area, its function at the station is more than welcome. The whole traffic of the terminal is one way. All the traffic comes from the west side. Buses pull away to the street of 28 October. Tramway to Benešovo nábřeží. The train ends here.

Vizualization and Generation of Realistic Tree Models
Pafčo, Tomáš ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Pečiva, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with generation of realistic tree models and theirs real-time visualization. Proposed generating method offers versatile spectrum of variable parameters, so it is able to create particular species of broad-leaved or coniferous trees with relative high amount of authenticity. It is also possible to manage level of details and complexity of tree geometry, which influence the rendering time and amount of frames per second. An OpenSceneGraph, the open-source toolkit, was used to visualization. A demonstrational application was created in C++ to visualize several types of trees on WinXP platform.

Vliv světla a sucha na fotosyntézu a vodní provoz podrostních bylin temperátních doubrav
Vitásek, Roman
Woody plants, especially trees, affects the site microclimate. With their physiological manifestations, they influence hydrological and light conditions and, consequently, the composition and abundance of species from the plant community. A dense tree layer lowers the air and even more the surface temperatures. Its mitigating effect is most pronounced on hot summer days. While transpiration lowers air temperature, trees compete with understory for water. While the shade lowers surface temperature of understory, plants, as autotrophic organisms, need enough light for their survival. Therefore, the question arises, which density of forest canopy is optimal for the survival of understory during the global change that brings along increased temperatures and elevated levels of drought. I investigated how understory herbs cope with drought under simulated sparse and dense forest canopy. The focal species, European wild ginger (Asarum europaeum L.) and liverwort (Hepatica nobilis Schreb.), were divided into four groups: two of them were fully watered and two of them droughted. Each of the water regimes were divided in two groups, simulating sparse or dense canopy of woody overstory. The physiological response of plants (such as the rate of light-saturated photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, intrinsic water use efficiency, concentration of non-structural carbohydrates and water potential) on manipulated light and drought conditions was monitored under various levels of drought stress. The mortality was always higher under deep shade than under light conditions, despite different water management strategies of stomatal regulation. The European wild ginger has characteristics of an isohydric type of plant. During drought, it copes with the negative water potential by reducing stomatal conductivity, at the expense of the ability to actively fight water stress by creating assimilates. Under favorable conditions, this species stores starch that allow it to survive even with a significantly reduced rate of photosynthesis. The liverwort is more anisohydric in its behavior. With the increasing intensity of drought and increasing transpiration, it keeps the stomata open and by active photosynthesis it creates soluble carbohydrates for the production of osmotically active secondary metabolites. It has a very low level of stored starch, which can have a negative effect during prolonged drought. The results indicate that light plays an important role for plant survival under water stress. The changing climate brings along not only increased temperatures but often increased levels of summer drought. Therefore, growing in the understory of the dense forest does not always help the plant to survive warming climate.

Trees: attitudes and visual preferences
Stachová, Jana ; Čermák, Daniel
The study presented in this paper uses a representative sample of the Czech population to analyse the relationships between attitudes to trees and preferences for landscapes with trees. We ask whether a positive assessment of the environmental functions of trees in general and old and dead trees in particular, leads to preferences for wilderness-like forms of the tree landscape. The results show that people who appreciate the environmental benefits of trees are more likely to prefer transparent and organised landscapes with trees, whereas the more specific environmental attitude appreciating old or dead trees is reflected in higher preferences for wilderness-like.

Perception of the role of green in different sizes of municipalities
SLIPKOVÁ, Šárka
This diploma thesis called "Perception of the role of green in different sizes of municipalities" focuses on different kinds and types of green in towns, villages and in the open countryside. In the introductory part the thesis defines the term green and describes its basic functions and characteristics, which improve the environment and have positive effect on human´s health. In the next chapters the thesis describes the role of green in urban areas of different sizes and reflects how people perceive green vegetation and how green affects their feelings when they are in different areas. The aim of the thesis is to map and make an inventory of types and the amount of green in villages Hůrky and Lišov. In addition to mapping, other data was collected via questionnaires and all data was subsequently analysed. The closing part evaluates outcomes of the research.
