The 12th International Conference for Doctoral Students of European Schools of Architecture and Urbanism was hosted by the Faculty of Architecture of Brno University of Technology on 8 November 2023. This international gathering provided a relevant platform for discussion and exchange of new knowledge in architecture, urban design and planning, landscape and conser-vation, architectural theory and history, ecology and sustainable urban development from Czech and European educational and research institutions.
The event was opened in the Architecture session by Dr. Tilo Amhoff from the University of Brighton School of Architecture, Technology and Engineering in the UK. The international dimension and quality of the event is evidenced by the participation of experts registered from 12 countries and the number of applications. The papers printed in full in these proceedings have also been published in the university repository dspace.vutbr.cz in Open Access mode, have been assigned a DOI and have been simultaneously indexed in the Google Scholar database and submitted for consideration for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (Clarivate Analytics).
The conference of doctoral studies in this field and format is a unique event in the Czech Republic and was created thanks to the collaboration of a number of experts. We would like to thank especially the scientific committee and reviewers for their excellent work and invaluable comments. We would also like to thank our native speaker, Mr. Simon Botten, for providing English language proofreading of all the papers included in this proceedings.

    Position of Health-Related Design Among Architecture Professionals in Slovakia
    (Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2024-01-02) Šimkovičová, Barbora; Smatanová, Katarína
    Human health has always played a vital role in shaping cities’ architecture and urban design. However, its importance has often been overshadowed by other pressing social and economic concerns since we only realise the significance of health when it is no longer taken for granted. This paper presents the findings of a study that aimed to assess the current standing of health in the architectural profession among built environment practitioners and architecture students, with a particular focus on the urban design part of the profession, emphasising the urgent need for greater attention to this critical issue in the field. The research identified three main findings. Firstly, research revealed that developers currently play the most proactive role in promoting health in the built environment. Secondly, the health-improving projects and initiatives are limited only to physical health. Last but not least, a clear definition of health and design guidelines that are currently absent could help address increased interest in health-related design in the future.

    Toys Designed by Architects to Develop Spatial Perception
    (Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2024-01-02) Šoborová, Adéla
    The paper analyses selected examples of children’s kits and furniture in relation to the development of cognitive perception according to Jean Piaget’s theory and the perception of space. Using the three mid-twentieth century toys Tyng Toy, The Eames Toy and Child Chair as examples, the principles of children’s discovery of space leading to the development of thinking and creativity are described. The examples highlight the principles of composition, incompleteness, and change of function that are applicable to the development of new toys, furniture design, interior design, and architecture in the context of capitalism.

    The Problems of Developing Depopulating Cities. Does the Czech Debate on Urban Shrinkage Have Any Concrete Consequences?
    (Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2024-01-02) Mika, Jiří
    The paper briefly presents the course and basic conclusions of the local branch of the global debate on shrinking cities and then verifies whether any of them have turned into concrete projects or policies. The paper analyses the strategic plans and spatial planning documentation of several dozen Czech cities that can be described as shrinking. While the naming of the problem in terms of strategy is no longer an exception, the debate has so far only rarely made its way onto the subject of specific rules.

    Analysis of Tools for Overcoming the Constraints of Czech Rural Development
    (Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2024-01-02) Petr, Lukáš
    Rural areas in many countries face challenges related to insufficient infrastructure and limited opportunities for further development. The paper analyses and evaluates the potential of foreign spatial development tools to overcome the limitations of the qualitative development of rural settlements. Examples of instruments are examined in terms of their applicability in the municipality of Martinice (Žďár nad Sázavou district). This paper aims to identify and classify suitable spatial development tools that could be implemented in the spatial planning of rural settlements in the Czech Republic.

    Understanding the Constraints of City Amelioration: Insights into the specificities of Sarajevo in transition
    (Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2024-01-02) Bošnjak Karadža, Katarina; Jašarević, Ibrica; Jenčiragić, Edin
    Sarajevo is a city of socio-spatial specificities – a tumultuous history of urban development and promising future abruptly halted by its siege from 1992 to 1995. This state administrative centre has been in transition for the past 28 years, which has become an excuse for its degeneration and lack of initiative for its development. This paper aims to examine the intricate web of administrative, legislative, planning, economic, and socio–spatial boundaries in order to offer answers to the question – what is constraining this city from moving forward? To provide these answers, aerial photos and city plans were analysed, in particular their genesis, a historical review was conducted, and demographic and economic data were analysed, all with regards to the Inter-Entity Boundary Line (IEBL) and its lingering consequences. This paper offers an overview of the interrelationship of factors that create the current post-war transition ambience, and related problems that manifest socially and spatially.
