The goal of the master thesis is to analyze contemporary possible approaches how to rehabilitate religious buildings, in our countryside, which were devastated. Historical sources stand out as a subject of the surveys. Those sources give the reasons of the destruction of those churches and chapels and point on the importance of those building in the landscape. The author uses five contemporary examples to show the different approaches how to use the ruins of the churches. The specifics are defined, and benefits and risks are clarified from the point of view of the landscape architect. Based on the acquired knowledge there is established universal procedure how to treat those monuments. Pivotal idea of the whole thesis is the necessity to discover the specific sign for every ecclesiastical ruin and after that to keep or restore this sign to approach this monument to keep its place. All the process is based on the profound analysis. Next step is to modify the surrounding in the kind of way to keep the character of the place. This theory is verified by the design of the model object. The study processes rehabilitation of the area where is the ruin of bigger chapel in the border area in the village Slezská Harta (former Sudety). This area has been displaced twice in history because of the construction of the water reservoirs. The study offers the solution of the surrounding of the building with the overlap into the landscape and even verify the correctness of the procedure of the rehabilitation the ruins in variants. In succession one variant is chosen and finished in detail. The discussion deals with three topics: - Sums up the landscape means, which can be used to rehabilitation of the monument - Deals with the impact of the surrounding and importance ofthe sacral building as a symbol - Outlines the future and sustainability of the projects of renewal and rehabilitation of the sacral architecture

The diploma thesis describes the design of sacred buildings, where wood is the dominant carrier material. Two possible variants are suggested, one of them is selected for further processing and the second one remains only a draft. Attention is given to the design of suitable roofing.

The diploma thesis deals with the topic of holiness in fine arts in all three parts, namely in theoretical, didactic and fine arts level. The first part of the theoretical level focuses on the concept of holiness and individualization of experience with holiness with respect to manifestation of the category in a broad art context. With the use of specialist literature, the second section of the theoretical research follows on obtained findings about the holiness concept and it also deals with sacral space of The St. Wenceslas' Chapel at The Cathedral of St. Vitus and The Chapel of St. Cross at The Karlštejn Castle with regard to the possibility of a strong psychological effect from these venues.

This thesis deals with designing shape modifications of a toecap used in Honeywell brand safety shoes. The thesis shows algorithm of compression test and impact test FEA in ANSYS software. The toecap was divided into areas according to von-Misses stress. Several modifications were made in all areas separately, according to design of experiments. Best of the modifications were combined together and two best combinations selected. The goals were verified by experimental testing of manufactured toecaps. The results were even a little bit better than simulations.

Theme of the thesis is a construction that is considered to be one of the most spectacular examples of a French gothic architecture. Notre-Dame Cathedral lies on the Eastern half of a Parisian island Île de la Cité on the river Seina. On April 15, 2019, roof of the cathedral caught on fire. It was completely destroyed, including its pinnacle. The thesis offers a solution how to restore the roof and what opportunities the new design brings. Aim of the proposal is enrichment of the Notre-Dame community through offering a new refuge, which will be for both, internal growth and spiritual practice itself. The design provides spaces that capture the path to God in them. I perceive the very path to God as a thorough inner work. That is why I am placing 36 contemplation booths in there, in addition to other 8 cabins. The light is removed from those, in order to extend the perception of consciousness. Spaces for individuals will be amended by 3 chapels for a group practice. Each chapel has its typical content - joint contemplation chapel, chapel that worships the Jesus Christ’s crown of thorns and a community chapel with a variable arrangement.
