Possibilities of clay plasters shrinkage elimination
Melichar, Jindřich ; Koplík, Jan (referee) ; Opravil, Tomáš (advisor)
Earth plasters which are applicated in interiers don´t have just an estetic, but mainly heat storage function. To accomplish better storage properties the plaster has to be laid on the wall in sufficient thick ply. But this use to be accompained by creating of cracks during dehydration of the plaster. This bachelor work will be considering possibilities of elliminating this negative event by additing suitable components to suppress shrinkage and cracks by creating ettringite.

ZOO DVŮR KRÁLOVÉ - PAVILION OF ENTRY
Ander, Aleš ; Kokeš, Václav (referee) ; Boháč, Ivo (advisor)
The main subject of the thesis is the development of the architectural study of the new Zoo entrance pavilion in Dvůr Králové. This Zoo specializes in breeding of African animals. The emphasis is placed on wide program of associated functions, on exhibition and multipurpose premises with restaurants and facilities for the visitors. Prerequisite is usage of progressive and unconventional principles of exhibiting with application of newest technologies in order to inform visitors of the main theme - Africa, before they start the tour around the zoo.

Architecture of the extreme
Atcheson, Eva Clara ; Wlazel, Adam (referee) ; Kaftan, Martin (advisor)
Architecture of the Extreme, Desert Shed, is a search for as many aspects of extremity of site-specific design for the Northern-Nevada desert as possible. Physical, geographical and climate extremity, absence of urbanism, scale and architectural context. Psychological and sociological extremity of solitude and abandonedness, but also co-sharing of architecture and ownership of the un-surveillanceable. Extremeness of the economical situation and its development, extreme transformations of the phenomena of second homes and their usage throughout time and into the future. Dialogue between sedentary and nomadic. What does recreational living for a contemporary family in an extreme situation at an extreme location look like and what sort of scenarios must it be prepared for, once the architect is out of the picture?

Earthen Threshing Floor Construction
Novotný, Martin
Earthen threshing floors were a traditional floor construction placed in working sections of barns. They were based on cob. Cob is thoroughly homogenized mud mixed with chopped straw, chaff, and tow. According to regional customs, one could also use other admixtures, such as beef blood and animal hair. The earthen threshing floor was an example of an extremely stressed floor which had to carry high load during manual threshing with flails, when grains were separated from their husks (chaff). A flexible and tough floor was required, which could not peel off to reach the highest effectiveness of this activity and to avoid grain losses during the threshing process. The submitted methodology deals with two techniques for a double-layer construction of earthen threshing floor with a coated surface. Both cases include the production of mud dough and the double-layer construction of earthen threshing floor on an adapted subbase, which consists of round pebbles or coarse gravel set in moistened subbase. Then a layer of manually compacted homogenized mud dough is spread over the rammed round pebbles / gravel. Both layers are of the same height.

Earth rough cast and topping coat at rammed-earth monolithic masonry
Novotný, Martin ; Všianský, Dalibor
The submitted historic preservation´s procedure offers an instruction for the production and application of earth rough cast and topping coat for rammed-earth monolithic masonry. After getting necessary skills, the submitted description of the building procedure is very effective within the hand-made production. Both connected layers of plaster are identical as to their material; the only difference consists in the ratio of admixtures added to the basic raw material. While making replicas of the buildings construction using the rammed-earth technique, the below-described procedure seems to be effective. The rough cast (commonly called as špric) is a connecting bridge between the masonry and the plaster. The rough earth plaster is to plane possible masonry unevenness that developed during the construction, and to make a ground for the fine final plaster.

Earthen Plaster (cob) on Timber Framing of Traditional Buildings: preparation, application and maintenance
Novotný, Martin
The submitted methodology presents an instruction to produce and apply earthen plaster cob on log houses, or on walls made from woven lattices of wooden strips. After gaining necessary routine and skills, the submitted building technique is very effective for manual work. The submitted technique is intended for the application of two-layer anchored and not-anchored earthen plaster (cob). Anchored plaster is applied on an anchoring lattice made on wall structure, using small wooden pegs driven into log house´s beams. Not-anchored plaster is applied directly on the wall, without the anchoring lattice. The plaster is applied in two layers, whereby the first (rough) layer contains longer particles of organic origin (chaff, cut straw). When making replicas and copies of buildings which are constructed using the log technique and provided with earthen plaster, the below described procedure seems to be effective. Earthen plaster is a protective and decorative layer on the walls.
