Fiat voluntas Tua
Válek, Ondřej ; Neumayerová, Eva (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The project works with the thesis that the celebration of the Eucharist is not dependent on place, or that under certain conditions any space can become a liturgical space. Conversely, it is possible to consider whether the strictly liturgical space of the church can be adapted to an alternative programme that does not necessarily involve traditional church rites, while maintaining its sacred character. Using the case study of the adaptation of St. Jilja's Church in Brno-Líšeň as a case study, the project relates to the broader issues of the Czech Roman Catholic Church, which is currently in an important period of transition in terms of demography (a decline in the number of worshippers and clergy), economics (the financial separation of the Church from the state) and culture (the completion of the restitution of property, including a number of monuments).

Economic and social limits of the use of earth in architecture. Role of education.
Neumayerová, Eva ; Novotný, Martin (referee) ; Pifko,, Henrich (referee) ; Žabičková, Ivana (advisor)
Earth as a building material was known for centuries and widely used in traditional construction. But during the social and economic development, it was gradually replaced by industrially produced materials with more stable mechanical properties. In many countries, the tradition of using earth in buildings had practically disappeared for a long time. In recent decades, the awareness of earth as a building material has increased, especially due to the growing interest of society in healthy living and the quality of the living environment. Despite its many advantages, earth is still not a commonly used building material. What is the position of earth in current construction and does earth have the potential for the future to be more than an alternative and experimental material? What is limiting the development of the use of earth in constructions? This work examines the limits of the use of earth in architecture in the social, economic and cultural context. It analyzes various approaches and ways of using earth in architecture, determines the level of public awareness and the availability of vocational education and examines the situation of the construction market and legislative restrictions in the implementation process. Based on the findings of the survey, this work defines important conditions and possible ways of further development of the use of earth in construction. The content of this thesis is to contribute to the current topic of the development of architecture using traditional materials and materials from renewable resources.

Earthen Space – Workshop at the Faculty of Architecture, Brno University of Technology
Neumayerova, Eva ; Bazik, Lenka
The Earthen Space workshop for students of FA BUT took place in the autumn of 2020 and included a review of the teaching concept for students of architecture’s work with earth within the faculty project. This article describes the course and the content of the workshop, analyses the creation and teaching procedures from the perspective of the organisers and creators of the concept, and records the results of the project. It also assesses the potential of practical experience with earthen building material in the education of architects.

Soudobé technologie hliněných konstrukcí: Limity a perspektivy v Česku
Neumayerová, Eva
In recent years, earth as a building material has been rediscovered and mentioned, in particular for its energy efficiency, recyclability and lack of a negative impact on human health. In our geographical conditions, earth is used for the reconstruction of traditional earthen houses and contemporary buildings. This paper compares earthen construction technologies used in contemporary construction projects in the Czech Republic, analyzes them based on their implementation, material composition and availability and examines their limitations in order to define the most appropriate application for each technology. The possibilities for the future development of structures made of earthen building material will also be assessed.
