Lake under Petrov - architectural and urban development of a space at the corner of streets "Biskupská" and "Petrov" (in a relation to the underground of Brno)
Zdražilová, Jana ; Pech, Zbyněk (referee) ; Kopáčik, Gabriel (advisor)
Solution idea Petrov is stoney bill in south-west part of Brno. You can find magnificent cellar on given land that is probably medieval and is partially carved in rock. Designed building follows up this rock developing to surface, where crystalizes and gradually grows and expands towards from „Šilingrovo náměstí“ to St. Petr and Pavel’s cathedral. Water is the other element – it wells from mouldering diabas rock to surface, thanks to cracked springs that can be found here. That creates a lake beneath Petrov. Water theme is projected to building interiors. This construction is characterised by great views, which are possible because of unique location of the site and the building itself is designed to use the most of them. From terrace, caffeteria and also multipurpose hall can anyone view cathedral, Zelný trh square and Parnas fountain. Function locations 1) Interest-activities more people more life. There used to be one of the oldest schools in Brno from half of 14th century. And because of that, although in modified form, I wanted to preserve this function of the place. I designed one classroom and a multipurpose hall, that can be used e.g. for dance lessons or - in a daytime, when there be no usage for the hall - for rentals for commercial purposes. 2) The entrance to medieval cellar carved into rock, that is under the site. There are two functional water wells, that constantly floods the cellar space. Water will be pumped out to terrace, where it will make a small lake. The whole space will function as a small gallery. 3) Caffeteria and sweetshop are located on very attractive place with spectacular views. Adjoining terrace will serve as summer garden that can be used by public all year round.

FROM EAST TO WEST: RELATIONS, COLLISIONS, AND DIVERGENCE OF CZECH AND JAPANESE CULTURE
Vaculík, David ; Čapková, Helena (referee) ; Mitášová, Monika (advisor)
The diploma thesis follows up the pre-diploma research dealing with the investigation of selected literature on Japanese traditional and modern architecture and gardens, archival research of extant 20th century buildings in Czech republic influenced by Czech-Japanese relations and the contemporary perception of Japan in the eyes of the Czech professional and uninitiated audience. It also includes a selective glossary of Japanese words and terms, containing study translations from English of selected architectural literature related to the topic. The output took the form of a Discovery Book with a short glossary, pictorial data and an anthology of translated texts. The thesis follows this preliminary "introductory research" with two main parts. The first part (A) explores concepts of space-making and spatial elements deeply rooted in Japanese traditional buildings as they were rediscovered and rethought, particularly by 20th century Japanese architects – who continued to use and revive these concepts in their own work. The text traces their understanding of Japanese traditional architecture. Then, using the example of three Japanese traditional spatial "icons", four works by 20th century Japanese architects, and three works by Czech architects in different phases of the 20th century, the thesis probes the relationship between these two architectural cultures in a European context. The second part (B) consists of texts on the architectural designing of model, utopian housing. The whole design follows a narrative – a scenario that shapes a temporal and spatial sequence that is not in line with the classical perception of time and space but spirals upwards. The next subsection interprets this story into spatio-temporal gradients and elements. Parts C and D contain conclusions and literature used. Model buildings are proposed on a range of scales: the smallest dwelling (a capsule), minimal dwelling, community dwelling, house, villa, city, and a coffin. The composition of the different scenarios and structures respects the movement along a spiral, where we can also observe the cyclical nature of life itself, which ends with the last terminal phase that escapes the gradient of scales – the coffin. These individual proposals are inspired by the studied phenomena and elements, texts and buildings of Japanese and European architecture with their interrelationships. The aim of this thesis is first to study the spatial, temporal, but also light and colour possibilities of Japanese traditional and modern architecture in the context of European, especially Czech, ones. Another aim is to propose a model-based, utopian housing project with a gradient layering of spaces, structures, materials, views and lighting based on various game strategies as well as the maxims of “Form follows fiction”.

BRNO UNDERGROUND - THE POTENTIAL FOR PUBLIC SPACES CITY
Kopáčiková, Zuzana ; Zdražilová, Jana (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
The subject of the thesis is a transformation of the anti-nuclear shelter situated in the city center, which no longer fulfils its original function. The main goal of the project is to integrate the shelter to surrounding public spaces. The proposal uses the potential of the suitable location on the edge of the historical center of Brno by inclusion of public facilities with cultural functions that are able to use the uniqueness of the underground space. The aim of the study is to point out this unused building, initiate discussion. My quest is to bring new impulse to the city, to enhance the site with a new feature, make a pleasant urban space to residents of the city and also bring life to the place.

The GAP in Brno
Choutka, Jiří ; Selnarová, Elisabeth (referee) ; Palaščák, Michal (advisor)
In my work I deal with the design of an apartment building in a gap in the center of Brno at Kopečná and Husova streets. The gap is located on a relatively deep place, which is bounded on the northeast, from Husova Street, by a steep and high slope (the body of the road between the Main Railway Station and Šilingr Square). The gap is located in a busy place and is exposed to noise from Husova Street. There are important historical and architecturally valuable buildings in the area. The functional content of the building is housing. In the design, I try to respond appropriately to the surrounding situation and adapt the building functionally and operationally. The effort was to meet all the requirements of the housing operation and insert new value into the existing city structure.

I/34 Skála and Věž - bypass study
Marek, Miroslav ; Matuszková, Radka (referee) ; Radimský, Michal (advisor)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is research study of bypass of the small town Věž and nearby village Skála. Věž and Skála are located 7 kilometres northeast from Humpolec city. The bypass is designed as a relaying of existing road I/34. Existing road passes through central parts of Věž and Skála and it doesn’t meet the technical requirements regarding directional, vertical and width solutions. For these reasons and also in order to reduce negative impact of transport, new road section is designed.

Portrait of rock
Svatoš, Jan ; Mikolášek, Martin (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the memory of the Icelandic rock through a series of abstract paintings anchored in the aesthetics of process painting. The author paints the paintings on the basis of a synthesis of personal experience, a metaphorical conception of geological processes and drawing from a digital photographic master, and observes the relationship between the painter and his painting in the sense of building a painting as an entity with subjective needs. At the same time, the work examines the overlaps and possibilities of abstract painting to stimulate an imagination that changes the resulting meaning and content in relation to its creator or viewer.

Peter the Apostle in the Gospel of Luke and in the Acts of the Apostles
Hanáková, Kamila ; Brož, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Ryšková, Mireia (referee)
Apoštol Petr v Lukášově evangeliu a ve Skutcích apoštolů Kamila Hanáková Abstract The bachelor's thesis deals with Saint Peter, included by Jesus Christ among his apostles and from the first given a privileged position as the "rock" on which Jesus was building his church. This made Saint Peter one of the most important figures in early Church history. One of the reasons why I chose Saint Peter as a topic is his personality, generally known to be on the energetic and intense side. His thinking, however, is characterised by naiveté, fear, a sense of justice and honest regret. All this makes him relatable in my eyes as his views mirror those of a regular person. Although he did not seem to be particularly religious in the beginning, through his faith he soon became aware of the magnificence of Jesus Christ. I focus on Saint Peter as depicted mostly in the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles as I believe these books illustrate his personality and activities well. Keywords Peter the Apostle, the first disciple, rock, church, Jesus Christ, faith, Goespel of Luke, Acts of the Apostles.
