Our Křížová Street
Sopoušková, Petra ; Nekvindová, Terezie (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
The topic of my diploma thesis is connected to my previous studies at faculty of architecture. My intention is to explore very undesignable organic development of urban spaces, but for an architect it is difficult and unusual to work with because of standardized planning process of public spaces. Using art based research I am trying to find, define, and prove existence of mental space that complements material shape of urbanized areas. As a locality for experiment I chose a street I live in for five years, and simultaneously had a wretched destiny – the Křížová Street of Old Brno district. As a piece of diploma project I present a lecture and lecture noteshowing – results of abstract contemplation gained by research in the locality. The aim of lecture is to encourage audience in ability to percieve and trust in existence of mental space in a way I described it.

Greenery an indicator of urban space quality
Pondělíček, Michael ; Doc.Ing.Vladimír Švihla,DrSc. (referee) ; Doc.Ing.arch.Ivan Vorel,CSc. (referee) ; Tušer, Jaroslav (referee) ; Koutný, Jan (advisor)
The Ph.D. Thesis is based on the principle of open approach into the urban greenery in the frame of sustainability improvement in inner cities. Sustainable inner city planning and management brings also the supply for indicators of sustainability and life quality in urban space. The Ph.D. thesis is interested in evaluation of positive and negative impact of greenery into life quality in the inner city. There is studied the impact of greenery into the human being in the city and what has influence on urban greenery too. The thesis observes existing indicators whose describe urban greenery quality and its utilizing from the point of view of sustainability and collaterally observe the greenery perception from the city inhabitant’s point of view. On the basement of analysis and theoretical knowledge including in the thesis is for urban life quality measurement constructed new aggregated indicator – the Indicator of Common Urban Greenery Quality. This indicator is in the thesis valuated on the data set of 70 Czech cities and medium sized towns. There is valuated its possibility to describe urban greenery potential. The relationship between the indicator and clime change and other urban development changes is also solved. The indicator and its mathematical construction brings new information about urban greenery potential and its impact and usage in city sustainability and urban life quality increasing.

Ecology of walls: Ethnography of Belgrade murals
Miličičová, Jolana ; Klepal, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Abu Ghosh, Yasar (referee)
Nowadays, many of Belgrade's walls form an imaginary gallery of large-scale street paintings: murals. This thesis builds on an argument that in order to understand this phenomenon, it is important to go beyond its visual and aesthetic qualities. Instead it approaches murals as complex entities that shape and reflect life and events in a given urban space and Serbian society undergoing post-war, post-socialist and neoliberal transformations. With a help of a metaphor "ecology of walls", this thesis aims to show that murals can also be seen as a kind of "organisms" which have their own socio-material life and agency, and are closely intertwined with the "ecosystem" of the capital city and Serbian society as a whole. This "ecological" perspective allows to think about the issue holistically. That is, as an intersection of actions and events involving walls and facades, creators and passers-by, local moods and global politics. Keywords: Murals, street art, ecology, materiality, urban space, Serbia

The term of Palimpsest and Intertextuality in the Antropological-ethnological analysis of urban space
Ondrák, Vít ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
The thesis called The term of Palimpsest and Intertextuality in the Antropological- ethnological analysis of urban space focuses on examination of urban space from the point of view of the metaphorical conception of the term text, intertext and palimpsest. By extending the meaning of the term text from the original concept in literary science to broader layers of reality, it is possible to apply it to urban space, and then read it as an urban text. Due to the fact that the urban environment consists of many layers, it becomes an interesting solution for its complex grasp to use the term palimpsest and intertext. The first theoretical part aims to explain these concepts. The second theoretical part deals with anthropological and ethnological approaches to urban space, while the perspective of the individual who walks through the city and lets it affect becomes essential for this walker. The content of the third, applied part is then the specific space of the Nuselské údolí (Nusle valley) and its immediate surroundings, within which the individual becomes a player in the game between space and his perception. The individual layers of the environment are examined from the perspective of concepts and anthropological-ethnological approaches, which, however, do not provide a complete and exhaustive...

The Term of Palimpsest and its Application in Examining of the Urban Space
Šilhavý, Petr ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Jarošová, Emília (referee)
This thesis called The Term of Palimpsest and its Application in Examining of the Urban Space focuses on providing a more complex perspective of the analysis of urban space through the metaphor of text and also palimpsest. Thanks to the disintegration of the concept of the text multiple layers of reality began to be progressively viewed - from the literature to the culture text. This opens up the possibility to contemplate the city as well as another type of text, respectively in a metaphorical sense of intertextuality as so-called palimpsest. The work focuses on these terms in the theoretical part and suggests the urban space term and the possibility of examination. The empirical part is dedicated to the application of developer theoretical basis onto the site-specific urban space of the Prague's Peter's district. The anchoring of the palimpsest in the semiosphere of culture and cultural texts of historical depth but does not provide possibilities of complete renovation and securing the continuity of interpretation. This does not seem to be an obstacle for the set more complex view of palimpsest, on contrary it better reflects and deals with such this continuity. It helps to seek roots and identity of cities and their inhabitants.

Diplomní projekt dotvoření vybraných urbánních prostorů
Trundová, Barbora
This master thesis deals with the creation of chosen urban spaces with a specific example showing a model object square in the town Tišnov. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The content specifically reviews the theme of urban spaces within the town. The thesis deals first with basic terms, followed by historical development of the town with an input focus on the public spaces, contemporary issues, trends, and reviews in urban space solutions. Finally, the literature critically evaluates the chosen examples of completing central urban spaces of the small cities. The chosen squares in the Czech Republic and abroad were the inspiration for my design for the practical part, there the basis is determined, and the last chapter reviews the approach for the architectural study. The practical part of the master thesis contains a complete analysis, including broader relations of the subject. The problematic drawings and design concept was based on the research and analysis. The area of the model object takes part in central Tišnov, and the architectural study deals with the area complexly in parts. The area is divided into 5 parts for better understanding - 28th October Square,street toward the Square od Peace, Square of Peace, Komensky's Square, and the area near The St. Wenceslav Square. The aim of the study was to create a pleasant, safe, and high quality designed living area for its inhabitants and visitors.
