Žabovřesky Meadows
Šárka, Jan ; Kyselka, Mojmír (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
In my master’s thesis I focus on some of the challenges we will face in this century. I would like to investigate whether new lanscape, new building typology (vertical farm) and new methods of agriculture (permaculture, hydroponic, aeroponic and aquaponic systems, meat in vitro, and NASA research) could be the answer to questions concerning sustainable development, urban population increase, cities food supply, consumption habits of people, climate changes, CO2 emissions, ecological footprint and biocapacity.

Material history of planetary urbanization
Šana, Václav ; Bartůšek, Ondřej (referee) ; Kristek, Jan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the final urbanization of the planet term from a materialistic point of view. The distribution of freshwater, energy consumption and especially agricultural food production are the basic factors which, together with logistics and demography, form fundamental drivers of material history. The "Malthusian" fear of a situation where the world's population is running out of resources accompanies contemporary rhetoric. The aim of the work is to try to find and explore solutions to the material necessities of humanity and to design organizational principles, systems, urban and architectural solutions.

Students Start-ups: Establishment and Development
Miček, Tomáš ; Chlebovský, Vít (referee) ; Koráb, Vojtěch (advisor)
The subject of this thesis is to analyse the actual state of vegetable and microgreens market in Czechia and set a solid foundation for establishment of a microgreens business. The outcome of the thesis is supported by findings from analytic tools such as SLEPTE, SWOT, Porter´s Five Forces model and Lean canvas. The theoretical part includes definitions of basic terms regarding entrepreneurship, startups, and basic explanation of analytical tools. The outcome of the work is to assess all the acquired data and evaluate feasibility of the business plan.

Reservoirs - Brno, Zluty kopec (Yellow hill)
Bařina, Štěpán ; Dvořák, Tomáš (referee) ; Nový, Vítězslav (advisor)
This work deals with the elaboration of architectural and urban design of an area surrounding the historic water reservoirs in Brno – Tvrdého Street. The first part contains the urban design on the entire area, after that one specific building is processed in more detail in the form of an architectural study. The new use of the underground reservoirs is also a part of this project. The work is partly a continuation of older atelier work which was focused on an thorough analysis of the are and the possibilities of its development.

Vertical Farm
Hurník, Václav ; Mačuda, Michal (referee) ; Vítek, Jiří (advisor)
Vertical farms, vertical, a word describing the essence of the meaning of this type of cultivation. So why are we building vertical farms in sheet metal halls and using only the potential of racks stacked on top of each other? Let's use the potential of this technology and the great adaptability of plants to the new environment and create a new food source operating locally and in continuous operation. Not only would this benefit from the availability of local and foreign food regardless of the season or the changing climate, but the changes it would bring to the economic gap would have a major impact on reducing intercontinental and intracontinental traffic. This would reduce carbon emissions and reduce agricultural areas that could replace forests that are more environmentally friendly.

Countryside, City, People and Food
Šárka, Jan
Food is the most basic of all resources. Invention of agriculture was the beginning of human civilization. Throughout all history we have been firmly connected with the landscape that feed us. Even today most of our landscape is shaped by the historical relationship between settlements and the surrounding productiv area. Also the landscape has always reflected the shared values and common beliefs, in our case Christian religion. Natural relations are no longer valid a we have nothing to replace them. Original reliance of the city on the surrounding agricultural landscape is completely reversed. What earlier used to be self-sufficient country, is now a urban sprawl, completely depend to the proximity of the city. Today we live as atheists and urban people in a Christian and rural landscape, which we don‘t understand. Only a small percentage of people work in agriculture now. However the production of food changed our environment more than any other human activity and has significant environmental impacts. Our habits associated with food, eating patterns, our diet, food production and distribution all significantly influenced the formation of the cities. We have no choice than to redefine our relationship to the landscape and the needs to satisfy. This logically change the way of thinking about cities as well.
