The aim of the thesis was to design the urban town house in blank space on Krizova street. The blank space is situated on the edge of the Mendel's square, an important transportation node of the city Brno. Spatial and conceptual solutions of the house is based on urban studies of Mendlel's square and its surroundings. The house is designed on a long parcel, which in the urban environment is equivalent to about four houses. Therefore, the house is divided vertically to keep the urban scale. At the same time at both ends it is directly connected to the existing buildings, therefore, different height levels of each mass are designed. Parterre of the house is commercial, as is the same for neighboring houses, in the other floors modern large single deck and maisonettes are designed.

Its methodology consisted of an outcome study, as proposed by Finkler (1985), aimed at a rural community, in the Lagoa Bonita district, in Engenheiro Coelho, Brazil, where most of the residents profess Seventh-Day Adventistism. The data were collected by means of semistructured interviews with twenty-two participants. The sample was formed either with respondents (90% of whom were Adventists) who underwent the ritual of anointing (referred to as “subjects”) or, in case they were not available, with respondents who met the two ad hoc criteria for inclusion (referred to as “informants”): (1) close kinship; and (2) being present during the ministration of the rite. At least 14 (i.e., 63%) of the subjects could be described as being in severe or terminal condition. For the analysis of the data, Bardin’s content analysis method was used. At the end of the investigation, it was confirmed that the anointing of the sick is sociologically effective and anthropologically justifiable, since it belongs to the dimension of symbolic regulation, which is why spiritual caregivers can minister to patients with chronic pain in aspects often neglected by biomedicine, hence the need for its institutionalization as a possibility of treatment / Esta investigação se propôs a pesquisar qualitativamente o sucesso ou o fracasso da unção de enfermos como meio de alterar estatisticamente a história natural previsível de uma enfermidade. Sua metodologia consistiu de um estudo de resultados (outcome study), conforme proposto por Finkler (1985), voltado para uma comunidade rural, no bairro Lagoa Bonita, município de Engenheiro Coelho, onde os residentes são, em sua maioria, fiéis da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com vinte e dois participantes. Constituiu-se a amostra ou com respondentes (90% dos quais eram adventistas) que se submeteram ao ritual da unção (denominados “sujeitos”) ou, no caso de sua impossibilidade, com respondentes que satisfizessem os dois critérios ad hoc de inclusão (denominados “informantes”): (1) parentesco próximo; e (2) presença durante a ministração do rito. Pelo menos 14 (isto é, 63%) dos sujeitos podiam ser descritos como em estado grave ou terminal. Para a análise dos dados, empregouse o método da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). Confirmou-se, no final da investigação, a tese que o rito da unção é sociologicamente eficaz e antropologicamente justificável, pois pertence à dimensão da regulação simbólica, razão pela qual os cuidadores espirituais conseguem ministrar aos pacientes com dor crônica em aspectos geralmente negligenciados pela biomedicina, daí a necessidade de sua institucionalização como possibilidade de tratamento
