Behind the mirror of identity
Juráš, Ján ; Topolčanská, Maria (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
Does the question of collective identity still remain in the hands of companies and institutions, or is it rather becoming an uncontrolled marketable commodity and a victim of the economic opportunism and growing nationalism? What selfidentifying legacy is Slovakia building today? On the one hand we live in the era of historically high economic prosperity, on the other hand we are not creating environment which would help us to identify ourselves. The commercial buildings have become the despotic temples of today's cities. The public buildings are turning into stage props in the name of fnancial “optimization”. Ideological and physical environment of educational and cultural institutions sufers from being underfnanced in comparison with the European average. The eforts to put an end to the 1990s’ provincionalism and to redefne our social self-esteem are suppressed at the expense of the boundless polished ofce areas. The thesis is a critical refection of Slovak politics in the context of education and culture. By puting together seemingly disparate felds of science and fne arts the author

The GAP in Brno
Richnavská, Dominika ; Zlámal, Tomáš (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
In a selected location – gap site define the principles of its development and propose a new urban house. The aim of the thesis is to find an appropriate development strategy for each particular site. The bachelor thesis deals with the development proposal of a selected gap site in the vicinity of the centre of Brno. The main task is to make optimal use of a gap site area and to considerately complement the surrounding buildings so that the block is one step closer to a compact type of development. The gap site is surrounded by a four-floor object on one side and on the other side, there is a smaller two-floor building on the south and garages on the north. The design envisages the alteration/development of the mentioned buildings into a more compact form. The type of a gap site and the orientation to cardinal points shape objects that can be found here. The design deals with two polyfunctional houses with a green area in-between which is fairly lacked in a given area. The design also takes into consideration how busy the surrounded streets are. The objects serve as the apartment buildings with an office area on the second floor and a café with a summer terrace on the ground floor. The parking in confined spaces is solved by underground parking shafts. An additional extra feature are the views of Špilberk and Petrov, which can be fully enjoyed from the roof terraces.
