City within the City / "Trnitá City Block"
Solár, Michal ; Hybská, Bohumila (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
The area of today's southern center of Brno was determined from the very beginning by the location of the rivers Svratka, Svitava and their drives, which defined the southern part of the city as a fertile area suitable for cultivation. After the advent of industrialism, the city transformed rapidly. The southern area was transformed from smaller villages into industrial units, which, due to the proximity of water and the newly established railway, expanded after 1838 to the entire vicinity of the Trnitá district. Already in this period, the location of the station by the Svratka River (in the proposed position from 2016) began to be considered, but due to the waterlogged soil and difficult construction conditions, it was decided for the station under the walls. It was this decision and the unsatisfactory conditions of waterlogged land for the development of the industrial area closer to the Svratka River that caused the suspension of the development of the southern suburbs. The proposal seeks to reflect the context of Brno's apartment buildings in the vicinity of the area, which lacks a comprehensive context and scale. At the same time, however, to solve the environmental problem by proper management of rainwater or the use and design of a recycled perimeter cladding of material obtained after the demolition of other buildings. The building is structurally designed as a combination of a wall system with monolithic, communication cores and the first floor.

Boredom as a sociological problem
Hochmuthová, Terézia ; Maršálek, Jan (advisor) ; Balon, Jan (referee)
Contemporary society perceives boredom largely as a normal part of everyday life. Nevertheless, academic discourse has not come to an agreement on its interpretation. The researchers differ on two main points: first, whether boredom is universal or historically developed phenomenon, and second, whether it is an individual or the external conditions, who is more responsible for the emergence of boredom. This paper reflects on these conceptual difficulties and attempts to elude them by suggesting an alternative, sociologically relevant approach. A new sociological concept of the phenomenon is introduced, based on Martin Heidegger's conceptualization of boredom. Boredom is thereby understood as a specific way, in which individual relates to his/her social environment and its objects. In order to avoid epistemological dilemmas resulting from an imbalanced account, which puts too much emphasis either on subject or its environment, the concept situates boredom's origin and actuation onto the level where subject and its environment meet. The theoretical part of the text is followed by an empirical one, which uses the concept to interpret a specific segment of tourism: organized holidays. This particular model, constructed and offered by travel agencies as a complex product, is understood here as an...
