The landscape has been transforming during the time – by people and by itself. A human has adjusted the environment to his needs - material, physical and spiritual. The relation between a man and the landcape varies. A place of previous extractive quarry Bankov contains more layers that were overlapped by anthropogenic operations. The authentic land had its significant spiritual meaning inscribed into a pilgrimage route containing small sacral objects which connected people with the land and the place. An exploitation of the land transformed its values. Extraction caused a loss of previous prints in the landscape - not only a loss of its material matter, but especially its importance for people living in the area. The realtion between a man and the landscape has been lost. The land has gone through a radical transfomation of morfology - a fascinating and dynamic geological diversion that creates specific character of a place has been formed. It is an abandoned mysterious area invoking contradictory feelings of danger and calmness. Perception and experiencing the land is a motive of recovery… ...that refers to a man – an individual human being. The project understands a recovery as a sanitation and transformation of an organism – which a land recovering after exploatation definitely is. Time, space and living conditions are elements determinating natural recovery of the land. Those features has influenced the project which analogically takes an inspiration for a physical and mental recovery of a man. The regeneration is happening by exposing and reinterpretation of the lost values through which a man identifies himself with the place.

A new way of creating the imaginary boundary dividing the site into two parts, the part of the landscape and urban. In the municipal sports facilities will be located, designed for active sports like football, volleyball, basketball and existing venues, such as the Sokol in the northern part of the territory, which has the potential for further development. The publicly accessible sportovištím arises changing facilities and operations. In the scenic zone covers designed for relaxation and recreation. The atmosphere it provides the distance from the busy communication and other noise sources. The zone has a large lawn area for picnics and urged the rest by sporting venues for performances made ??active urban areas.

The concept became a logical solution to the division of area into one located in safer areas before the floodwaters in the northern part and leave the lower parts of river. Boundaries of the division is backed flood protection embankment height of 1.2 meters. Existing sports facilities are left in place. North Sokol is included in the planned development area in the coming years. This development is indicated by placing more focus to the development of situational plot. As another layer to enter the Wilsons forest that surrounds the R42 highway, thus eliminating the noise in the nature of the area in question. Communication in the area is solved by the level of the main pedestrian routes, which are designed as 4 meters wide. The area is also dealt with a different approach to the river and road on the other hand, depending on location. The nature of the river becomes a silent partner in contemplation, in contrast to the early-evening sports wandering in the excitement.

The subject of this thesis is design the new building of Catholic church which is connected to current cemetery in the village of Krhová near Valasske Mezirici.

Landscape, language, man - a culturological study Abstract The first part of this study views some of the contributions involving landscape theme. One of them analysis water element in landscape as the symbol of the human imagination and unconsciousness. Symbols, meanings and their creating are the most important human ability; this is the typicall quality for the human kind. In opposition to culture and its network of meanings exist nature and wildness that represent primary world without artificial interferences. At the present time this primary world can be nearly experienced in forest, where no loud meanings and hypertrofic symbols disturb us. Thus forests have an important function for reanimating and purification of human culture. An interesting mention of forest aesthetics from foerster H. von Salisch shows how creative and beatiful can the forest managering or landscape managering be. Next part references to space and to relationship between a subject (man) and its space. In generally meaning we can use the term environment. Each man needs to identificate with his living environment and he also needs to understand its meaning. According to Martin Heidegger's phenomenological philosophy we use term habitation. Habitation means existence in human way - each man lives between sky and ground. Ancient...

This dissertation deals with breakdown of landscape in proximity of pilgrimage site Lomec in South Bohemia. This location was chosen on bases of personal visit and obtainment of basic knowledge about the general area. While determining the part of the area for this work, all key values and elements, that are characteristic for local landscape, were taken into account. The dissertation is made of two parts. The first part is general (theoretical) and the second part is specific (analytic). The general part deals with given issue and introduces introduction to the topic. The specific part contains the own work of the author, which besides other things embodies the main contribution of this work (mainly some of its parts, in catalogue). Aim and outcome of the work is to create analysis (in a form of catalogue) of the area, first mentioned in second paragraph of the abstract. For this purpose data obtained during own terrain survey is used. Findings from all available literar sources, pertaining to the current issue, are being used.

This final work is practically oriented. It consists of painting series of eight landscapes with vertical themes. These are large format oil paintings. In the theoretical part I deal with the current perception of the relationship between man and land, which is based on the current concepts of landscape-painting. The examples of contemporary Czech landscape show some topics that have appeared in the last forty years. For example it is a landscape as a specific interface and abstract paintings, a landscape inside us, a landscape of our civilization. The thesis also discusses vertical motif, which marks the space between the two main elements of the landscape ? the sky and land, which is a fundamental area of human existence.

Land Consolidation and its Relation to Environmental Protection- Abstract Land consolidation is term used for rearrangement and readjustment of land parcels and their ownership in order to assure their rational use. In its modern form, it became part of Czech legislature when Czech National Council's Act No. 284/1991 Coll. was officially published. Current legal regulations of land consolidation are provided in Act No. 139/2002 Coll., as amended.

Following chapter briefly deals with the history of land consolidation on Czech, Moravian and Silesian territory. Reflecting our country's history, real estate ownership evolution was very dynamical in past 160 years. Knowledge of this evolution is crucial for understanding of reason and purpose of land consolidation. Third chapter guides the...

The Body as a subject and object is the way and possibility how to be in a landscape which does not tell how to touch it, how to move within it, live and die. However, we could find and see which particular behaviour is preferred to others. The landscape is a vertically and horizontally widespread area and a platform for potential range of body activities. Thirdly it is also a material, body, changing in time. We would focus on the moment when the body is trying to fuse into the landscape. So similar, so different, they are. The way how to achieve it for a human body would be a task to live it through, personally, as first shown as Symbiosis, on some examples from visual arts (performance, and site-specific usage of the place potential). In the Second part we would consider understanding the landscape (world) through the narratives with metamorphoses, when both entities are carnal and the same (Synonymical: body as a landscape, landscape as a body). The last Part (Synthesis) concentrates on the arts, rituals, philosophy and other modes of the "life view" in the context of crossing borders and immersion of real and the "different" (in a way virtual) world. Keywords: Body, landscape, arts, mythology, philosophy
