This project design the municipal baths in Brno. The main idea of the project is based on connection between water, Red Hill, and sensual perception. Through various usages of light, shape, and meaning, the project tries to evoke various feelings. The project uses innovative technologies as well as materials to support such feelings.

Over the years, chemical bath deposition (CBD) is being widely used in the fabrication of Cu (In, Ga) Se��� and CdTe based solar cells and photovoltaics. Many chalcogenides have been successfully deposited by this technique and it has received a great deal of attention owing to its low temperature and low-cost nature. CdS, an important layer in heterojunction solar cells and other optoelectronic devices, has been successfully deposited by this technique, which is normally carried out as a batch process. But a major disadvantage of batch CBD is the formation of particles and also unwanted deposition generating a lot of waste and thus resulting in defective devices. In this study, we have developed a continuous flow microreactor for CBD to overcome the drawbacks of batch process. This novel microreactor setup makes use of a micromixer for efficient mixing of the reactant streams and helps in controlling the particle size and distribution before the solution impinges on the hot substrate. CdS semiconductor thin films were successfully deposited on oxidized silicon substrates using the microreactor setup and a batch reactor as well. Comparisons of nanostructured thin films were performed by various characterization techniques. The surface morphology of the deposited films, carried out by AFM, SEM and Dektak surface profiler, clearly indicated an improved film quality in case of microreactor. This setup can also be used to deposit various other compound semiconductor thin films with improved film quality and minimum waste production. / Graduation date: 2005

This thesis investigates how energy is used in three public baths today and suggests measures that could reduce the energy demand. The results show that there is a great poteltial for energy savings i public baths, and that it would be interesting to examine some of the proposed measures further.

This thesis project is describing a new object of municipal baths in a specific urban environment. It is a building of social and recreational character. The primary content is therefore not a sports pool with lanes, but pools and areas intended for relaxation. The building contains an entrance area, changing rooms, swimming pools, rest areas and service rooms. It also includes saunas, massage rooms, café and ancillary premises.

The Municipal Baths is designed for both residents and visitors to the city for hotel guests. Philosophy of distribution space is based on two needs of people. One is spending time in the company and the second is the need for isolation and tranquility. The main pool area is a zone extrovert with a link to the external environment (Špilberk views, waterfront, river, Red Hill, Petrov). Center is as a wall (zone introvert) into which you enter for the purpose of isolation, meditation and relaxation.
