Diploma thesis presents a design of the rehabilitation of the Solidarita housing project in Prague, built between 1947 and 1961.

The diploma thesis evaluates the current state of the physical environment of the housing estates in Česká Lípa. It is focused on the process revitalization of the blocks of flats and public areas and clarifies the mechanisms of differentiation of individual housing estates from this point of view and the role of actors. The work combines quantitative and qualitative research methods. The theoretical part deals with the causes of revitalization and the factors that affect it, as well as the history of housing estates construction, especially in the Czech Republic and in major countries in Europe. The empirical part of the work is devoted to mapping the current state of the physical environment and the revitalization projects of housing estates at the level of individual prefabricated houses and public spaces. Relevant data that can have an effect on the revitalization process (history of construction of prefabricated housing estates in Česká Lípa, development and current state of ownership structure of houses, data on the structure of population and housing stock) are identified. The diploma thesis also uses information from the structured interviews with representatives of the main actors of development. It proved to be a decisive influence of the type of ownership on the successful...

The thesis proposal for a new building with the Roman Catholic Church Pastoral Center in New Liskovec estate in Brno. The proposal follows the tradition of religious buildings, uses the idea of the direction of space, its gradation and image paths for the good of man and love. Construction of the church refltects layering of the floors of the surrounding settlements, which passes through each floor verticaly from font to the roof garden which has its character of an atmosphere Gethsemane garden. The horizontal direction of the space reflects the way of a man in this world and symbolizes a labyrinth of the world, the path to salvation and redemption of the human soul. In this order follows vestibule, the nave and chancel topped with circular skylight. Floor of the nave consists of exposed rock massif which symbolizes clasp with the earth and also freely interpret the parable of the two builders from Matthew's Gospel. The only source of natural light in the nave is circular skylight above presbytery that creates a vertical flow of light and symbolically shows the way to the only God. Right in the horizontal direction of the intersection of human and divine is the sacrificial table on which occurs transsubstination during the Mass.

The proposed church is set in a terraced terrain north-south slope and its configuration is handled in accordance with the existing communication structure. At the same time the church does not block an open view of the distant horizon. The object is designed intentionally as horizontal as opposed to verticality of very high residential buildings surrounding the site. Next to the church building rises a path, whose trajectory was previously naturally done by people who have used the path as a shortcut across the hill. The building is trying to hold a dialogue with this path, thus the building can be entered from the path. The lining of the path also creates the desired public spaces. The main space of the church is hidden in the heart of the building, as the soul is hidden inside the body of man. Sacred space is clearly defined by a cylindrical tube, around which the other floors are placed. The tube that is also holding a ramp penetrates through the entire building, thus giving a ubiquitous presence of the temple on each floor via perforated round holes. The ascending ramp also serves as the way of the Cross starting on the ground floor of the presbytery and finishing as the last 14th stopping at the very top of the at the upper entrance. The church is accessible in two ways - with the upper entrance with a ramp going down, or directly from the bottom floor main entrance. Both options offer different spatial perceptions. The access from the ground level starts at the entrance with a direct view to the sacrificial table and suddenly opens up at into the sacred space. At the upper entrance the sacral space opens up slowly as the visitor ascends the spiral ramp that gradually opens up into three choirs at various heights and with different uses - gradually from above - choir, organ, believers. Organist for the choir has its own auxiliary staircase. The space the church offers many different spatial shapes, corners and connections. Different heights provide different perception - from intimate prayer alone to experience the Great Assembly.

(in English): The issue is focused on the survey and dig on the mining settlement Kremsiger in Ore Mountain. We discovered well planed and perhaps measured urbanism of the site. Our excavation took luckily place on the house with traces of ore assaing activity. In the issue we discuss the possibility of ore smelting directly on the mining settlements. We found out, that this activity is not exceptional, although there is no evident reason for avoiding the smelting in central smelting places. Second, the excavation brought the biggest assemblage of high mediaeval ceramic. Its analysis pointed out, that the settlement lived through two different ceramic horizonts, and due to this fact was not extremely short-living place as could be expected by mining settlement generally. Despite some exclusive finds as hollow glas, or the urbanism, we neglect the possibility of township of the site. There is no evidence for growth of mining settlement in such vicinity as by Kremsiger and the mediaeval Town Přísečnice.

The focus of this master thesis is on the phenomenon of neighborhood and social relations between residents of the housing estate Cerny Most. The main objective of this thesis is to determinate, what social relations and interactions are between residents of Cerny Most and how different are these relations and interactions between established residents and newcomers. The research is a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative part is based on a survey, which is focused on determinates of neighborhood, for example the residential stability, the resident´s connection to Cerny Most and spending of free time in the locality depending on location of residence and length of staying in the location. Research is also focused on neighborly relations and social interactions between residents of Cerny Most, but also between established residents and newcomers. Research deals with the satisfaction in the place of residence, quality of neighborly relations, purposeful meeting of neighbors and involvement in the community life. The qualitative part is consist of field research, own photographs of the area and semistructured interviews which help to better understanding to detected areas. From the survey results, statistic calculations and semistructured interviews is compile the plastic image of neighborly relations and interactions between the residents of Cerny Most.

This diploma thesis deals with architecture and town planning of a two settlements Zahradní Město (Garden City) and Záběhlice. The text is divided to the two main parts according to the topic.

The dissertation addresses the extensive topic of mass housing estates from the years 1945– 1989 in the Czech Republic, touching upon the European context and using wider sources. It examines the aspects of garden art and landscape architecture in detail; explores the forms of free spaces in the housing estates which indicate major differences from the previous types of residential as well as generally urban development; and elaborates on the applied means of garden art. The differences between the urban structure of traditional urban spaces and the post-war housing estates are best illustrated by the typology of the housing estates according to the relation between the development and the landscape, which was created based on the author’s own analysis of the spatial characteristics of housing estates across all the evolution stages. The cornerstone of the work is a summary of the issues and the unused potential in the field of spatial, social and environmental characteristics of free spaces of housing estates. The final part presents a list of specific principles by which a garden designer or a landscape architect can intervene in the exterior of mass housing estates in order to remove the problems and achieve a special, unique environment with a positive image.
