This dissertation discusses problematics of illumination. Based on its findings, it aims to design a solitaire interior lighting. This dissertation is divided into two main parts. Firstly, the theoretical part describes light fundamental photometric and electronic parameters; looks into influence of light on human beings and summarize artificial illumination from the historic point of view. Moreover, It looks closely into perception of light in interior, its relationship to space and describes the most important principles of illumination. Furthermore, it lists different light sources and their division based on their use. The second part includes practical steps of a light designing. It contains research, elements of inspiration, sketches, and different variants of design, construction and material solution, visualization of final proposal and showing of manufacturing process.

Visur egzistuoja tikslingumas, architektūroje gi jis pasireiškia funkcionalumu, todėl šiame baigiamajame magistro darbe pasirinkta dominante architektūros funkcija dėl funkcijos svarbos bet kokioje žmogiškoje veikloje. Temos aktualumas sąlygotas nagrinėjamų faktorių svarbos architektūros raidoje, ir sąlygojančių bei iš čia išsiliejančių į optimalius, racionalius ir ekonomiškus sprendimus, kurie niekad negali būti per geri, po eko-architektūros ieškant naujų architektūros formų. Tema bus aktuali iki žmogaus egzistavimo pabaigos arba kol žmonės ras alternatyvą architektūrai kokia nors analogija vaikiškam konstruktoriui , kur kiekvienas bus savo egzistavimo erdvės (-ių) kūrėjas, kai erdvę bus galima naujai performuoti tuoj pat po to, kai bus pamatyta, kad ta erdvė (jau) nefunkcionali. Darbe vertinama, polemizuojama, interpretuojama ir analizuojama visa su tema susijusi informacija. Pagrindinis tyrimo metodas, padėsiantis atskleisti tėzes- pasaulinės architektūros teorijos ir praktikos raidos analizė, visos prieinamos medžiagos pagrindu: knygos, internetas, asmeninė patirtis. Apžvelgus visus nagrinėjamus aspektus, darančius įtaką architektūros funkcijai ir jos ryšiams su planiniais ir konstrukciniais sprendiniais, pateikiamos galutinės išvados. Darbą sudaro 8 dalys: įvadas; Nuo motyvacijos iki funkcijos; Architektūra; Architektūrinė inžinerija; Architektūros funkcija; Architektūros funkcijos, planinių ir konstruktyvinių sprendinių raida; Modernizmas; Vėlyviausios tendencijos...

Architectural function is dominant issue in this master‘s thesis, because of the importance of function in any area of human activity. Importance of subject is due to importance of researched aspects in the history of architecture, and here from guaranteeing optimal, rational and economic solutions, which never can be too good, on the way to sustainable architecture and onward to perfection. Issue will be important till the end of time, or till human beings will find some architectural alternative alike to child‘s toy building site, where space can be remade as soon, as it is seen unfunctional. I evaluate, argue, interpret and analyze all the information, that is in the area of research. Main research method helping to establish values- an analysis of all texts in the books, Internet and the personal experience. After the analysis of all the aspects making influence on the architectural function and it‘s planar and structures solutions, conclusions and suggestions are reported. Structure: Introduction; From motivation to function; Architecture; Architectural engineering; Architectural function; Genesis of architectural function and its connection with planar and structuresl solutions; Modernism; The lattest tendencies; Conclusions and suggestions, References.

The work deals with nature prefigurations, which can be used in architecture. The first part is concerned with the bionics in architecture in general. There are introduced all available pieces of knowledge falling within this branch. The second part is focused on the nature prefiguration – tree. The tree was analyzed from different points of view. Suitable principles, which were found, were transformed to the field of architecture. On the basis of children's drawings the changing approach to “tree as a home” during adolescence was charted. The work can serve as a comprehensive supporting document for study of bionics for students of architecture and architects and also for the general public. The work should point out that nature is our great standard for any activity.

Organic architecture is often used term especially in connection with the daring and experimental form. The exact definition or division is still missing. The founder of modern organic architecture is to be generally considered as Frank Loyd Wright. He was the man who created organic architecture and also made first definition in the early twentieth century, when formulating new architectural styles. Dissertation deals with insufficiently described problem of organic architecture. The main focus is on contemporary production of residential organic architecture in Central Europe. Especially on the particular realizations in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Germany and Poland. Beside detail description of European realizations, the dissertation deals also with foundations of organic architecture in U.S.A. and important realizations here. Modern organic architecture primarily originated in the United States of America. The work presents most important contemporary realizations and architects creating resident living organic architecture in other countries around the world in order to complete the overview. The objective of dissertation was describing newest trends in designing buildings for living. Find position of organic architecture and give reasons for it´s increasing popularity, spread and necessity for new development in architecture according to the new trends. Organic architecture is an alternative way of contemporary residential living. It´s popularity is growing in last years in response to the development of modern technologies and materials, the need to protect our natural resources and also to the increasing negatives of globalization and to denial of local traditions and regional specificities. Aspects of organic forms were divided into three main groups according to their main characteristics: form, harmony and sustainable development. Another objective was find location of contemporary organic residential architecture in Czech Republic and abroad. It is rather spread all over the world than concentrated on certain places. Therefore I selected countries that are richer than the others on the occurrence of organic buildings. The objective was also to address architects, specialists, public and especially university teachers of architecture and students themselves. Communication with them was mainly connected with grant project in 2010. The theme of grant project was contemporary organic architecture in residential living. There were lectures about contemporary organic architecture and exhibition on the theme: Contemporary living organic architecture. The publication of the catalog was published under the title: Contemporary organic houses - Europe. I had the opportunity to visit a number of organic family houses abroad. Specifically houses in Slovakia, Hungary and Germany. Results of survey, which was realized by questions to owners and authors of chosen buildings, are included in dissertation. The mail results of dissertation are - make a detail review of organic architecture in residential living - define trends in contemporary organic architecture and residential living - obtain and process answers from owners and authors of chosen buildings within survey - analysis of organic house ( houses) in city planning and landscape - publication of catalogue focused on organic contemporary European houses - article about contemporary organic architecture and residential living will be published in 2012 on archiweb page
