The main purpose was to find an ideal solution for the area in the village Křenovice u Slavkova and to design housing for seniors. The surrounding of the parcel offers us a fairly good functional amenitie and good accessibility. Within walking distance are restaurants, a patisserie, a post office, a municipal office and a general practitioner, as well as sports facilities. The proximity of these features is a great asset especially for people with reduced mobility. Another attractive aspect is the easy accessibility of the surrounding countryside. Urban design is mainly based on the idea of natural human movement and perception of space. A person likes certain order, but on the other hand, the human eye can easily be deceived, so we can disturb the terrain of the receding facade, but the human eye will still perceive space as a street. On the other hand, i tis also importan to break the strčit geometry and give the place a pinch of nature. In the case of a design, it is an artificially created pond in the center of the territory. There are main pedestrian ways to get to both the railway station, the municipal office, the village center, kindergarten, etc. The territory is generally divided into two parts – housing for seniors, which is situated in a quieter part of the territory behind the municipal and to the social part, which is situated in the noisy areas. The architectural solution is trying to remind the folk architecture, which thanks to the large construction of the typified houses disappeared, mainly due to suburbanization. It was necessary to focus on the elements and features of folk architecture that are typical of the Křenovice area and then re-shape them according to their feelings into modern architecture. Three types of buildings are proposed for housing: House No. 1, House No. 2, House No.3, and café-cinema.

Robotics and digital design are associated with the creation of free forms. The thesis deals with the potential of new building technologies in the sense of an opportunity to build on the foregoing regional architecture, disconnected by an industrial mass production. A creation that can reinterpret the charm and diversity of Moravian houses, preserving the continuity between old morphology and today’s housing requirements.

The aim of this diploma work was to find out in what extent the monumental protection of rural monument preserves and zones affect the country development. Whether this monumental protection brings benefits for the municipality or not and how the citizens of selected villages perceive this monumental protection. Other aim of the research was to find out the rate of co-operation between the authorized municipal authority, monumental authority and the Regional authority in České Budějovice. The research was carried out in rural monumental preserves and zones in the region of České Budějovice {--} II part, specifically on rural monumental preserve (Holašovice) and eight rural monumental zones (Bavorovice, Božejov, Břehov, Dobčice, Kojákovice, Lipanovice, Opatovice, Rožnov).

The work deals with the possibility of use the traditional knowledges and methods in construction with regards to today's lifestyle and technology, emphasizes the importance of the legacy, respect for countryside, individuality and surrounding environment. Above all I try to summarize the information about the current situation in architecture of family houses, which influence dominates in this area and which choices we have. I target especially the organic architecture mainly for wood constructions. At the beginning of the work I describe the issues of present architecture. I am dealing with the question if traditional and modern way of life must be in conflict, how we change our environment today and what could be the eventual effects for the future. The second part of the work is focused on the traditional vernacular architecture in South Bohemia, especially in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava) region, on types of construction, use and processing of materials and their integration into the countryside. The final part is applied to present ecology architecture. Firstly I summarize and identify the objects in general, subsequently I focus on the wood constructions, which correspond to traditional knowledge and experience in the manufacture and processing of wood.

The village build-up area in the region of Vysočina has been considerably changed during the 19th century from the timbered to the bricked constructions. The change started in the southwest part of this region at the beginning of the 19th century, which was probably caused by the older build-up area, which had already been partly bricked. The timbered constructions in the Vysočina's northeast part were officially tolerated from the late 19th century above all because of the rare build-up area in higher localities, where the wooden houses did not pose such fire risk like in villages with houses built closer to each other. Bricked buildings have gained a complicated progress during the 19th century, which was allowed by mostly various material sources. Partial rebuildings were often during the one or two generation time on average, which showed up thanks to the noted historical objects. From this reason it was necessary to look on all preserved objects from the view of building history, since all found situations are the results of the wide variety of the building phases covering each other. The progress mostly influenced by the fire prevention rules proceeded in many ways. The most important of them was the change of material of the walls and gradual separation of the truss and the roof...
