Shapelessness
Conde, Tamara ; Kohoutková, Karolína (referee) ; Jamrichová, Kristína (advisor)
The main body of my diploma work is composed of several paintings of large formats. These paintings depict the fusion, invasion, and profound alteration of two bodies being mixed into one. The paintings contain chunks of interwoven bodies of fleshy caucasian tones, that of my own body and that of oyster mushrooms. These formats are not placed in rigid confines. Along with the large paintings, there are two small formats on wood that resemble morphed organs between the two main models. These two small formats on wood play a fixed role in contrast to the loose canvases. These illustrative works of art play hide and seek with an explanatory audio for whoever roams too long in the installation. The documentation of the thesis text focuses on the partial historical reevaluation of humanity's notions of hybridity in a scientific and cultural sense. The text is structured to define the etymological logic of the keywords used to characterize the project, the philosophical implications these words convey, and to follow the links that tie my project to scientific concepts that are creatively misused in contemporary artistic practice even among other artists. To sum up, the text is structured in such a way as to define the reason why shapelessness is the best word to describe the ambitions of my artwork.

Moravian wine centre Brno
Vojtěšek, Jiří ; Žák, Libor (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor)
The city of Brno has always been a center of Moravian wine. The new draft of wine center responds to this reality and represents the grandeur of wineries in its full glory. Respect for nature, love for traditions and love for order/system are the main aspects of the design. The proposal is essentially open to the public, however, the necessary modesty is preserved. Conversely taciturnity of production part of buliding holds the secrets of the deep traditions of Viticulture and Enology. Designed buildings are used for production, wine storage, administration associated with the production, tasting and selling wine, conferences, accommodation and, finally, wellness and other activities. The size of the building is the result of an optimal design that does not interfere with nearby historical buildings. The emphasis is on minimizing costs both during construction and during operation. Flor plan shape resembling the letter L is oriented towards the west courtyard. This raises a unique viticultural area court with a wide staircase. The amphitheater can be used for seasonal exhibitions, pilgrimages or feast of local entertainment. The yard is connected with the street Hlinky, which paraphrases the historic entrance portals into winecellars. The northern part of the building bites into the ground and connects the original winecellars with new facilities. Small narrow windows reflects the desired taciturnity, just as it was with winecellars in South Moravia for centuries.

The Festival of Wiener Schnitzels
Helán, Martin ; Mainer, Martin (referee) ; Rathouský, Luděk (advisor)
In my thesis I dealt with still life paintings with food. The main keyword of this work is banality. It is the irrelevance of some situations that I used as a motive to create a visually impressive moments. I painted a meal as a celebration of the banal and seemingly unspiritual things, like a gift from God, which is a part of our ordinary everyday life.

Environmental frugality in the lifestyle of modern day young Tramps or 'What is taken into the forest also comes out.'
Sobotková, Jana ; Novotná, Hedvika (advisor) ; Braun Kohlová, Markéta (referee)
This thesis is an attempt to detect and interpret the elements of environmental frugality in the lifestyle of young Tramps, mainly in connection with activities related to their everyday lives. Based on a qualitative approach in the form of semi-structured interviews, I am trying to ascertain the point of view of the informants in several areas. These areas are mainly represented by the concept of tramping itself and its related forms of leisure activities, attitudes and preferences in selected areas of lifestyle (housing, food and waste, travel, transport and leisure, everyday objects, clothing), relating to nature, to the environment, nature protection and reflection of the current problems in this field, including the reflection of their own attitude (concept of responsibility, risk, etc.). I interpret the observed data on the basis of selected theoretical concepts, especially using Jan Krajhanzl's eco-psychological model of relationship to nature and its components, with emphasis on environmental awareness as one of its parts. Furthermore, I confront the results of my research with selected concepts related to the topic of an environmentally frugal life (voluntary and intentional modesty, ecological luxury etc.). Key words: Tramping, (alternative) lifestyle, leisure, everyday life, subcultural...

Responsible individual consumption as the first step out of the environmental crisis
Hosnedlová, Alena ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Kala, Lukáš (referee)
The thesis deals with the problem of global ecological crisis caused by excessive consumption of material goods, particularly in countries of "The Rich North" (western countries). In the theoretical part I set up individualized man as a consumer in the system of modern society, which indicates the conditions of its existence mainly through the market. I discuss the possible way out of the ecological crisis through ideological changes in the company initiated from the "bottom", based on the internalization of values leading to responsible and moderate consumption. I demonstrate alternative ways of life, environmentally friendly in terms of consumption, and discuss the obstacles and ways of its spread. The research was conducted through interviews with eco-advisers who are dealing with consumption, as potential "opinion leaders" in this case. I tried to look their conception of responsible consumption and their potential impact on society in favor of spreading the idea of an environmentally responsible way of life Key words Ecological crisis, consumption, consumerism, modernity, individualization, values, responsible consumption, modesty, environmentally friendly way of life
