Visions for Krnov
Heginger, Václav ; Pospíšilová, Barbora (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
The aim of this work is an urban and architectural solution of a forgotten plot - brownfield - in the center of Krnov. A set of residential buildings with civic amenities is designed in the place. The location of the buildings and their form respects the surroundings and is integrated into the structure of the city. From the suburb to the center The population in Krnov is declining. But what if the trend reverses? Is the city ready for such a situation? In the very center of the city there are countless free gaps and brownfields. The proposal seeks to present a suitable alternative to living on the suburbs in a family house. The newcomers can thus move to the center. Everything is closer, the city is more compact, livelier ... In the center and yet surrounded by greenery The place is perched on the former city fortification system. They eventually gave way to new construction and especially greenery. The park now surrounds most of the city center. The proposed structure responds to the green circuit. The volume of the buildings recede outside the plot, so the planting is poured into the block. It directly affects houses, terraces, residents ...

ŠAFOV – URBAN RENEWAL OF A VILLAGE IN THE BORDER REGION
Ličmanová, Eva ; Adamková, Jana (referee) ; Havliš, Karel (advisor)
Thesis deals with Šafov, small village located near Austrian border. History of the village is quite dramatic. Population is ten times smaller nowadays than during its greatest prosperity. At the village there was a jewish part destroyed during and after World War II. Nowadays there are only a few houses and jewish cemetary. Continuity was extremely aborted after World War II, when most residents had to leave their homes because of German nationality. New comming people early had to live very close to Iron Curtain. After many years Šafov can breathe freely but stigma of the past is still evident. I try to preserve dramatical history but also design new active plan. Thesis is divided to three parts: urban planning, architecture and landscape. There are some bigger interventions and also small and easily realizable ones.

New synagogue in Trutnov
Rudolecká, Anna ; Benedek, Borislav (referee) ; Dulenčín, Juraj (advisor)
The assignment of the diploma thesis was the elaboration of an architectural study of a new synagogue in the town of Trutnov, on the site of the original Jewish synagogue, which was burned down during the November pogrom, the so-called Crystal Night in 1938. Nowadays, the synagogue area is modified and serves as a place of reverence to honour the memory of the victims and to commemorate these historical events. The result of the design is a new community centre. Its goal is to restore the existence and support the development of the Jewish community, which disappeared in Trutnov after the Second World War. In the area there is the seat of the Jewish community, a ritual cleansing bath Mikveh, Kosher restaurant and a new synagogue, which respects the location of the former synagogue on the site of the original foundations. The new Jewish community centre ensures the operation of the entire Jewish community in Trutnov. Part of the Jewish community centre is a large courtyard, which is used to celebrate Jewish holidays and also as a summer terrace for Kosher restaurant, which will be used by the Jewish community, but also by the inhabitants of Trutnov. This creates an attractive place to spend free time with a view of the nearby Giant Mountains and the historic centre of Trutnov, but at the same time it is protected from the bustle of the adjacent main street.

Geographical aspects of the process of deinstitutionalization of the Sudetenland border
Korčák, Matěj ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Šimon, Martin (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is to evaluate the impact of the former Sudeten German border as a primary factor on the socio-spatial differentiation of Czechia in time and space. The issue is viewed chronologically through the lens of the deinstitutionalization process. The main criterion evaluated within this process is the border's persistent effect on regional differences in its surroundings. The choice of indicators for which the degree of deinstitutionalisation is examined assumes that the expulsion of Czech Germans from the borderlands and the subsequent resettlement of the affected areas have transformed the population structures in the long term. At the local level, a quantitative analysis of selected indicators representing the three elementary population structures - demographic, social and economic - is conducted. The average values of the indicators are compared within the defined border zones in terms of substantive relevance. Data from the censuses between 1980 and 2021 are used, which allows us to track the changes in the influence of the historical boundary over time. A particular emphasis is placed on the spatial heterogeneity of the degree of deinstitutionalization of the Sudetenland border, which is thus analysed not only as a whole entity, but also in terms of its variability...

Historical borders as a factor influencing socio-geographical differentiation - example of Czechia and Poland
Torgalo, Alexandr ; Netrdová, Pavlína (advisor) ; Burda, Tomáš (referee)
Historical border is any national or administrative boundary that has disappeared in the past. These boundaries are often still visible in the landscape, e.g., physically in the form of boundary stones. However, sometimes these boundaries have an impact in the socio-economic environment, long decades and sometimes centuries after their function have ceased. They are a common phenomenon in Europe where boundary changes have been frequent, especially in Poland and Ukraine. The aim of this thesis is to measure the effect of historical borders on contemporary spatial differentiation of socio-economic phenomena using the example of Czechia and Poland, focusing on the border of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in Czechia and the borders of European powers after the so-called third partition of Poland. It was examined on which sections of which types of borders the effect is most visible, on which types of spatial phenomena the historical borders have the greatest impact, and how the strength of the border effect and the spatial distribution of socio-economic phenomena have changed over the last 20 years. It was found that after 2011, the effect of historical borders in both Czechia and Poland is weakening, especially in demographic indicators, as the former German territories of both countries no...

Current use of layers of settlements in the north bohemian border region
Roeselová, Sára
The paper examines the layering of urban structures of municipalities in the North Bohemian border region, specifically in the Šluknov area. It does so by uncovering historical traces of settlement and analyzing the changing relationship between landscape, settlements and form of habitation. In the originally agricultural linear villages, there was a significant transformation towards artisan livelihoods. This severed the direct connection of many residents to the local land and gave rise to a second, internal layer of settlement. As a result of the post-war displacement and collectivization of agriculture, the primary linear structure disappeared and today a newer, completely different, craft-based urban form prevails here. It is this second wave of settlement in the form of a dense organic network of parcels in the floodplains of meandering streams, which forms the backbone of all the researched settlements, that domitanes the character of contemporary urban areas. The development specifics of these settlements set in a culturally rich landscape are a value in themselves. The same is true of historical traces of settlement, which are a rare piece of continuity spanning the destructive period of the second half of the 20th century. The aim of the research is to create a model of systematic interpretation of historical rural structures, which would enable municipalities to adapt to contemporary demands for life in the rural settlements of this region. The task is therefore to analyze the two main waves of settlement and their preserved traces and to find a way to connect these apparently disparate structures and thus support integrated residential development.

The Call of the Wild
Brokeš, Tomáš ; Šťastný, Martin (referee) ; Kratochvíl, Jan (advisor)
This project is a response to the call of the wilderness, and similarly to a trip to the desolate, inhospitable mountains, this work was a departure from the comfort zone of an urban environment. The project deals with an alternative view of the site of a former recreational area located in the protected landscape area of the Jeseníky Mountains, surrounded by mature trees on a hillside below a forest, in the village of Ostružná in northern Moravia. The proposal approaches this site with respect to the character of the Jeseníky Sudeten Mountains and creates a recreational area with a natural structure of buildings, which does not overpower the surrounding nature in its scale but fits in sensitively and unobtrusively. At the same time, the design reflects current requirements and needs of visitors, who seek an escape from a busy civilisation to a peaceful environment. In its essence and form the project seeks to distinguish itself from the former hotel and its forthcoming resurrection. On the contrary, it aims to build on an established morphology, supplementing it only with new elements, so that the new creation is still harmonious with the character of the landscape.
