Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program
The dissertation in focused on the architectural heritage conservation. The subject might be an analysis of a selected work or set of works, methodological critics, historiographical research or theoretical study connected to local or international legislation and conventions.
Tutor: Horáček Martin, doc. PhDr., Ph.D.
Synthetic biomaterials offer significant opportunities in architecture. The key interest of this topic is to explore the tension between making and growing by confronting conventional methods of architectural making. Biomaterials and their changing nature may present irregularity and imprecision, resulting in “impure” aesthetics and can be vulnerable to contamination and decay, yet they display the ability to renew and self-heal. The performance of these materials could be computationally controlled, therefore, enabling tailoring for a particular type of usage.

The additive manufacturing processes are contemporarily based on continuous methods. However, these techniques are associated with number of problems, such as the lack of speed and mono-materiality. Considering the argument that structures can be physically digital rather than analogue, discrete strategies for design and additive fabrication could offer more opportunities in terms of speed, multi-materiality and reversibility. The formal differentiation of such methods would no longer rely on the mass customization of thousands of different parts, bud could be achieved by the recombination of cheap, serialized units.
The study of folded plate forms in architecture and contemporary material research. The theme is grounded in the concept of space in terms of artistic-tectonic form (K. Botticher) and structural-symbolic form (G. Semper). A focus on the possibilities of folded plates for the spatial-compositional and kinetic intentions of the architect is possible.
Tutor: Palacký Jiří, doc. Ing. arch., Ph.D.
Analysis of lighting conditions and the effect of selected architectural realizations on humans. Formulation of principles and technical solutions of architecture in terms of spatial and light composition. Empirical research will be based on the study of theoretical texts of architects, philosophers, writers and other thinkers.
The aim is to sort out the system and evaluate the current structure of mansions in a defined area (southern Moravia), an assessment of their current situation from different perspectives, with emphasis on the possibilities for their future use.
Tutor: Boháč Ivo, doc. Ing. arch., Ph.D.
The dissertation is focused on architectural interventions benefitting archaeological conservation and interpretation. The subject might be an analysis of protective halls or shelters above excavations, pedestrian walks and lookout towers in archaeological areas, exhibition pavilions, education trails and their stops and boards, partially or totally reconstructed landmarks etc.
Architecture is a multi-criteria field. Many conflicting factors enter the design process, for which the architect tries to find the best possible solution. The optimization can be reflected in the entire process from design to construction/fabrication. For example, traditional construction methods can also be optimized by using digital design and manufacturing technologies (e.g. generative modelling or machine learning).
Approach to the restoration - conservation is evolving rapidly in any historical period and the role of the architect in this increasingly complex area is constantly being refined.
Tutor: Koleček Ivan, prof. Ing. arch.
The dissertation is focused on traditional form languages and typologies in architecture from the turn of the 20th century until the present. The subject might be an analysis of the work of particular architect/s, architecture in specific region, particular typology, or application of traditional design in the contemporary architecture.
