Centre for Prevention, Masaryk Oncology Institute in Brno
Buzová, Magdaléna ; Kraus, David (referee) ; Galeová, Nicol (advisor)
The objective of the diploma thesis is the new building of Cancer Prevention Centre, first of its kind in the Czech Republic. The site is located on steep terrain of the south hillside of Žlutý kopec in Brno, which is a part of Masaryk Oncological Hospital complex. The aim of the Cancer Prevention Centre is to attract the citizens’ attention and invite them to undergo a preventive medical check-up with the potential to save hundreds of lives every year. The project takes this fact in consideration and strives to find ways leading not only towards establishing new relationship between the building and the public, but also towards connecting the city centre and nearby by residential area with the hospital complex. The three volumes of the buildings create a dynamic composition and therefore complete the characteristic development of Masaryk Oncological Centre. The main concept however revolves around the motive of instability, balance and journey which are all linked to tumour diseases.

Hannes Beckmann (1909-1977). Dessau - Prague - New York
Kuzica Rokytová, Bronislava ; Rakušanová, Marie (advisor) ; Rousová, Hana (referee) ; Klimešová, Marie (referee)
Hannes Beckmann (1909-1977). Dessau - Prague - New York This PhD thesis is dedicated to an exceptional, though still forgotten personality, an artist of German descent, Hannes Beckmann |1909-1977|. A graduate of Germany's Bauhaus, he was one of the refugees fleeing Nazism to Czechoslovakia, and among many other achievements, he later became the director of the photography department of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Through his work, he fulfilled avant-garde ideas on the synthesis of artistic fields: he was a painter, stage designer, art theorist and pedagogue, but also a creator of abstract objects moving along the boundaries of minimalistic and kinetic constructions. His fate in life and created body of work began gaining a clearer form in the framework of research on visual artists, who found sanctuary in interwar Czechoslovakia from demagogic political systems. Until that time, Hannes Beckmann had been utterly unknown to Czech art history and elsewhere. This is seen in the absence of his name in Czech technical literature, but also because he was never mentioned even in publications published by the Bauhaus with which he had been involved for some time. There was only sketchy information on his pedagogical and artistic work in the area of Op-Art (optical art) from the 1960s to 1970s in the United...

Bauhaus and politics
Benešová, Helena ; Kučera, Jan (advisor) ; Salamon, Janusz (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines an interwar period in Germany, so-called the Weimar republic. This thesis aims to clarify circumstances, which entitled to the end of one of the most influential art schools - Bauhaus. Interwar Germany was a state where the political clash was almost the order of the day. The reason was the disability to settle on the arrangement of the new state. During that time, the coalitions were unstable, economic problems arose, and the war failure disillusioned people. The skepticism about the republic in-between the citizens increased, and they started to support extremists. On the other hand, the revolution in the art sphere began. German avant-garde arose. The school arose and also died out at the same time as the republic did. This fact creates a perfect case to describe the political atmosphere during that period. The thesis is divided into three parts - the phases of the republic development, which are almost the same as in Bauhaus. The stages of Bauhaus development are a combination of internal and external factors. Analysis of these factors would be the main point of this thesis. The political background of Bauhaus issues showed us that politics and art are closer to each other than we could thing.
