City by the Ocean
Holcnerová, Lenka ; Kyselka, Igor (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
In between the Oceans and the Earth (The cities by Oceans) Projects in between the oceans and the earth For studies of towns on the seashores in magister studies under leadership of Ing. Arch Jan Mlecka I was impacted by two basic factors: firstly by my three years of studies and internships in Lisbon – a metropolis on the shore of Atlantic ocean, which became written into Lisbon’s DNA, into its light, tempo, priorities, historz, courage, strength, eternity, simplicity, sailing boats and elegance. And secondly I was influenced by a workshop organized by AA of London in February 2011 in Dubrovnik with lectures of Vedran Mimica and John Palmesino about towns, growth, quality of town life, policies and by studies of Southern Croatian coast under leadership of Krunoslav Ivanišin, where a floating platform was proposed to simultaneously solve several problems of this region. The more I become involved with oceans, the more I am fascinated by shorelines. This rare, dangerous, fractal line is the theatre of the biggest changes and dramas, but it also presents the greatest possibilities. (This is why I call my work not Towns by Oceans but In Between The Oceans and The Earth). When I was mapping shorelines, I have come across several findings: 1. The principles of constructions on shorelines are similar all over the world. 2. There are similar evolutionary stages in usage of shoreline – it is both physical and functional stages. 3. In many cases the potential of ocean is impaired by human interventions. Taking into account these facts, I was searching for further evolutionary stages of shorelines. In Lisbon I visited Ocean Energy Systems where 30 young engineers work on im-provements of machines designed to extract energy from oceans. In order to be effi-cient, these machines have to have giant dimensions. Immediately after seeing a generator on the island of Pico, I realized that such machines should not be put behind fences, creating an obstacle on the rare shoreline in between the sea and the land, but that they must be adopted by architecture – so that we will be able to live with them in symbiosis on the shoreline.

Second Nature
Závacká, Paulína ; Zein, Lynda (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The issue of the environment (Umwelt) often fluctuates between two extremes: the cultural environment (architecture) and the natural environment (nature). Although the idea of the "natural environment" can (paradoxically) also be understood as a cultural construct. The project explores the ambiguity of artificial vs. natural through the design of an apartment building. The proposal uses a reinforced concrete skeleton of an abandoned shopping center built at the turn of the 1970s and 1980s, into which it inserts individual "dwellings". The design examines the tools ranging from an "artificial stone" in the form of walls made of shotcrete to dramatic views of the nearby Holedná Forest, which both figuratively and literally (eg. during a walk) becomes another room of the apartments. The landscape and human emotions associated with the natural environment are an important motive for the whole proposal. To expose the tension between two modern tendencies: escape from nature vs. return to nature, it samples the topic of apartment and nature.

BRNO – NEW SOUTH CENTRE LOCATION – POŘÍČÍ, BRIDGES TRINITY, THE AREA OF COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION, MULTIFUNCTIONAL OBJECT AND SPACE
Tasch, Daniel ; Obtulovič, Marek (referee) ; Kiszka, Josef (advisor)
The aim of my work was to create a multifunctional house, which serves as a connection between the city center of Brno and its industrial part. This building is also in direct contact with the historic viaduct that would be excavated for this project. Today, this historic viaduct serves as a railway line. However, according to the new KAM proposal, the main Brno railway station is planned to be diverted, so that the viaduct will remain unused. For this reason, it also adds character and interest to the bridge on which I decided to design this project. The houses on the bridges over the river are not something out of the ordinary. They are not built at all to the extent expected. The house on the bridge provides not only a practical connection between the two banks and the use of each place for development, but also an aesthetic pleasure. It is something that is not seen every day.

The importance of lookout towers for tourism development in Central Bohemia Region
Křížová, Andrea ; Netková, Jarmila (advisor) ; Petrů, Zdenka (referee)
The central theme of the thesis are look-out towers and their use in tourism. The thesis is divided into four main sections that follow the content itself. The opening chapter deals with the general definition of tourism industry and current trends of traveling in the Czech Republic. The following chapter is focused on a selected region of the Central Bohemia in terms of status and differences in the travel industry. The third part focuses on the historical development, construction of look-out towers and a description of the most famous towers in the Central Bohemia. The attractiveness of 23 selected observation towers and their potential for development and growth of tourism was examined in the practical part of the thesis. The analysis evaluates the observation towers in light of technical parameters, construction, quality of service in the area, information system and promotion. To illustrate the current situation of lookouts in the Czech Republic was connected the opinion of expert for towers Jan Nouza (co-authored a famous paper, "Man, look around"), which is expressed by means of a questionnaire to the specific deficiencies and the importance of towers in the Czech Republic.
