The diploma thesis deals with the creation of a design of a new apartmen building in the city of Brno on the plot expected to be completed by the city block. Typologically it deals with the current design possibilities of gallery apartment buildings / porch houses, implementation of space-demanding grocery stores and commercial areas into urban structures. Architecturally explores the possibilities of designing new constructions with citation of architectural language a tectonics of past styles.

The conceptual design of the Gallery of Modern Art is created with the aim to build the timeless social and cultural center, situated in urban conservation zone, which is in the connection with the cultural axis of the existing round avenue of Brno. The proposed building is located in the Moravian Square, in the place of the existing park. It is a neoplasm in the historic space, which is adding the uniqueness of surrounding by its concept. This proposed building will reflect the most modern architectural, building and construction elements.

Right in the city center, there is a plot with old factory halls. These halls are fascinating and have great potential. But now, they are more of an obstacle. They form a barrier, they are in poor condition, and it robs the city of its values. In my diploma thesis entitled Creative Center in Kopřivnice, in addition to the design of the creative center, I will also deal with how to use the beauty and potential of these old halls, further, how to create beautiful and modernized buildings with a new value. I want to open the whole area, to create a place where people would like to meet and where various functions will be mixed- a place for fun, relaxation, culture, education or even just a shopping or walk. The work is very diverse - from the urban design of the entire plot, through the revitalization of old industrial halls and the layout of a new building, to the interior design of a new gallery.

Aus dem Text: 'Die Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) bewahrt zahlreiche Nachlässe von Künstlern, Schriftstellern und Musikern, die in Sachsen gewirkt haben. Mit der Schenkung des Archivs der Galerie Nord 1974 bis 1991 wird nun eine weitere interessante Spezialsammlung der Dresdner Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte hinzugefügt, dauerhaft gesichert und für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. ... Die Galerie Nord verjüngte die gründerzeitliche, grau gewordene Häuserzeile in der Leipziger Straße. Die in diesem Band abgedruckten Fotografien – ergänzt durch Erinnerungen von Künstlern, Musikern und Dichtern – verdeutlichen, welchen Zuspruch die insgesamt 117 Ausstellungen und weiteren Veranstaltungen fanden, die weit über den Stadtteil Pieschen hinausstrahlten. Auch heute, nach der städtebaulichen Sanierung, leben und arbeiten zahlreiche Künstler in diesem elbnahen Stadtteil.'

The City of Springfield, Massachusetts is one of the largest cities in western Massachusetts, and was established on the Connecticut River for trading and as a fur-collecting post. In 18th and early 19th century, it experienced an industrial boom and became a regional financial center. Springfield became a major railroad center and grew to become the regional center for banking, finance, and courts. However, in mid-19th century Springfield suffered due to the flooding of the Connecticut River and the disinvestment in industry. These resulted in an urban sprawl as people started moving away from heart of the city. Now, once again, the city is trying to revitalize its downtown and neighboring areas to attract people by improving different types of social and cultural amenities. In this thesis, the author studies the relation of the city with its natural asset ‘The Connecticut Riverfront’ which can be a great place to attract people towards the heart of the city. The author has also researched the various reasons causing this natural asset to be underutilized for several years. In addition, the author also explores the possibilities of connecting the Springfield downtown to the riverfront, providing safe and undisturbed access mainly to pedestrians, physically challenged people, and bike riders. Research shows that the existing transportation paths are the major barriers discouraging people from reaching the riverfront. In order to overcome this problem, a design solution is proposed including a safe, pedestrian-friendly link from the downtown area to the riverfront mitigating all the transportation paths such as highway, high speed traffic roads, and railway tracks. The proposed link will give encouragement to local artist and will also aim to boost local businesses by providing sites for museums, exhibitions, art galleries, food courts, and retail shops. This structure will not only improve the accessibility but it will also provide public open spaces where people can gather for various activities and can also enjoy the scenic view of the riverfront. In Addition, local people can also enjoy the water viewing restaurant and bar overlooking Connecticut River. Lastly, this connecting link lays the foundation for further development of the riverfront area due to increased accessibility to this asset.

The main task of this thesis was to create an architectural study of The Gallery of Brno Grand Prix based on previous urban study from previous semester works. The proposal is focused on the iconic circuit’s former glory restoration, on providing new content for raceway complex and creating decent and presentable place for the presentation of the rich history of Czech and Czechoslovak motorsport. The result is a study of an object that meets these needs while respecting the historical and morphological values of the place. The building creates new themed attraction and creates the potential for further development of near circuit.

The purpose of this work is study of mediation as a new methodological approach to interaction with audience of art museum. The first chapter is devoted to complex analysis of the spectrum of socio-cultural conditions that led to a change of visitor’s role in the museum communication and an emergence of a new vision of museum’s mission. A general characteristic is given of a new approach that focuses on the audience as a center of museum's activities and thus makes a search of new methods of interaction with the public a problem of current interest. The second chapter explores the concept of "cultural mediation": different connotations of the term are given and inconsistencies in its use are removed; an author’s definition of the concept is offered. In the third chapter key characteristics of mediation as a specific method of interaction with the public are analyzed, and this method is compared to the traditional forms of gallery education (guided tours, lessons). The task of applied research is to develop a curriculum of training of mediators for the 3rd Ural Industrial Biennale of Contemporary Art. The list of professional competences and goals of training for a mediator is formed based on the analysis of the experience of mediators at the Manifesta 10 Biennial and the study of the professional documents of the European associations of mediators. Additionally, the main principle of studying and representing works of art is explained, which is the basis of mediators training. / Целью работы является исследование медиации как нового методологического подхода к взаимодействию с аудиторией художественного музея. Первая глава посвящена обобщению и системному анализу спектра социо-культурных предпосылок, приведших к изменению роли зрителя в музейной коммуникации и возникновению нового представления о миссии музея. Дается общая характеристика нового подход, акцентирующего роль аудитории как центра деятельности музея и делающего актуальной проблему поиска новых методов взаимодействия со зрителем. Во второй главе исследуется понятие «культурной медиации»: разбираются различные коннотации термина и снимаются разночтения в его использовании, предлагается авторское определение понятия. В третьей главе анализируется специфика медиации как метода работы с публикой на музейной экспозиции, выявляются его отличия от традиционных форм образовательной деятельности в художественном музее (экскурсия, музейно-педагогическое занятие). Прикладной задачей работы является разработка учебной программы подготовки медиаторов для 3-ей Уральской индустриальной биеннале современного искусства. На основе анализа опыта медиаторов на Манифесте 10 и изучения профессиональных документов европейских ассоциаций медиаторов выделяются профессиональные компетенции и задачи подготовки медиатора для выставки современного искусства. Раскрывается принцип взаимодействия медиатора с произведениями (содержанием экспозиции) и их репрезентации, ложащийся в основу его профессиональной подготовки.
