The Scar
Sláma, Matěj ; Nytra, Martin (referee) ; Mazanec, Martin (advisor)
Diploma thesis Scar is a short film about the fictional history of the found „monument“. In the animated film, I examine the context and meaning of the „monument“ in a virtual environment that I created based on visual documentation and mapping of specific places that I explored during my expeditions through the urban landscape of Brno and The Hague. These are mainly „lost“ spaces (also referred to as vague terrain or no man's land), which inspired me to create my own visual map of my urban explorations. The starting point of the work is personal lived experience, which I reflect by documenting places, creating 3D objects and manipulating 3D scans of „lost“ spaces with elements of computer games. In the resulting film, the viewer follows a guide–walk through a virtual environment where objective reality is intentionally blended with a fictional world built on the author's imagination.

Bachelor thesis is a conceptual work concerned with urban and natural aesthetics. It is based on several interventions in the “terrain vague” close to the author´s residence. The work uses symbolism of tourism and touristic activities that invite the new take on neighboring but neglected spaces. These interventions are not very spectacular, but it is the urban context that makes them unusual.

Our estranged spaces
Jelínková, Anna ; Štojdl, Václav (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The project is a continuation of the pre-diploma thesis, which was focused on urban voids and "vacant" spaces in the city centre of Chrudim. To understand the urban voids it utilizes Ignasi de Sol-Morales' Terrain vague concept, which questions the emptiness of such spaces. From the perspective of economic yield, the empty spaces may lie outside the systemic circuits of the city, but at the same time they are certainly not without any content. Examples include urban wilderness in the form of encroachments and R-ecosystems that take hold there, or various non-systemic activities for which there is no space left elsewhere. In their ambivalence between emptiness and content, such places embody the possibility of a systemic alternative that has not yet been defined. The diploma thesis then explores the idea of whether the principles of vagueness can be applied to the search for alternative forms of living and coliving.

Between Production and Recreation
Madro, Oskar ; Chuchlíková, Ida (referee) ; Hora, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis "In the Shadow", based on the pre-diploma thesis "After the Work", explores the territory of Brno's Kraví Hora. Then, on its basis, asks questions about the current form of the architect and urban planner profession, and the challenges that these professions are supposed to address. The thesis searches for the qualities of the territory in question in the shadows of our professions' interests, in areas outside the productive logic of things. In an attempt to find a way out of the tight spot in which we as architects and urban planners find ourselves today. As between two millstones, we are constricted by mutually contradictory systems - capitalism, on which we depend, and climate change, whose fatality and elusiveness subvert any sense of our work. Careful documentation of the territory seeks out moments that we might normally overlook or sweep off the table in the interests of the greater good, and places them at the centre. The periphery becomes the centre, the periphery shapes the centre. The result is an acceptance and appreciation of the existing reality of Kraví hora. On its basis, the thesis proposes both a set of small, quick interventions that will yield the potential for creating a green skeleton for the area, and then a scenario of transformation for the central part of the area, where the shadowy qualities of urban wilderness and the potential for new meanings collide. How to bring new activities to Kraví hora without destroying the urban wilderness?
