10th Annual on Architecture and Urbanism Conference 2021

The 10th International Conference for Doctoral Students of European Schools of Architecture and Urbanism was hosted online by the Faculty of Architecture of the Brno University of Technology in the Czech Republic on November 10, 2021. This international meeting provided a relevant platform for discussion and exchange of experiences on new knowledge in architecture, urbanism and spatial planning, landscape and monument conservation, theory and history of architecture, ecology and sustainable urban development from Czech and European educational and research institutions.
The event was opened by an invited architect, educator, theorist and researcher Ben Sweeting, PhD. from the University of Brighton, School of Architecture and Design, UK, with an introductory talk on Transience and Place in Research. The international dimension and quality of the event is also evidenced by the participation of experts from 12 countries and the submissions received.
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 made possible thanks to the collaboration of a number of experts. Our thanks go especially to 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

The Jewish architect Zoltán Egri and his work
(Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2021-11-29) Ragulová, Zuzana
Zoltán Egri (born 1894) belonged to the group of interwar Jewish architects in Brno. Almost all of them studied at the German Technical University in Brno and were active mainly in the 1930s, focusing primarily on a Jewish clientele. Egri specialized in interior design and shopfronts. Some of them were destroyed or rebuilt, others preserved. In my paper, I will discuss not only his particular designs but also general specifics of his work and often-used materials.
An active approach as part of the creation of urban and landscape space
(Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2021-11-29) Šana, Václav
Throughout history, the concept of the urbanist points to the figure of an almighty, authoritative planner who creates spaces. The ambition of a perfect design is met by random external factors, which fundamentally affect the final results. Thus, another component of the active approach of individuals or movements enters the creation. The application of ecological, mobility, cultural and social topics creates a contrast to the technocratic planning of cities and landscapes. This article broadly presents cases of an active approach to urbanism and reflects the holistic profession of an urbanist in a contemporary context.
Bringing New Light to Schools: Dolf Schnebli’s Works
(Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2021-11-29) Pennati, Lucia
This paper deals with the pedagogical agency of space and the role light plays in learning. In the post-war context of the 1950s and 1960s, the control of light was an architectural tool that demonstrated the didactic position of the architect in designing schools. Through a critical examination of Swiss architect Dolf Schnebli’s work, his dynamical process of designing light and its representational methods, the paper captures how school design engaged with practical and theoretical ideas about light. It argues that the architect, through designing light, fulfilled one aspect of the pedagogical agency of space, in terms of creating the most appropriate setting for education.
The Role and the Responsibility of the Architect in the Current and Future Sustainable Design of Buildings
(Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2021-11-29) Marek, Aleš
This paper deals with the role and responsibility of the architect in the sustainable design of buildings in their lifelong cycle: in construction, operation, modernisation, and removal. The aim is to analyse and define requirements for the architect’s activities in the design stages. The paper discusses the demands and methods of integrated design, digitisation and robotics in the construction industry, and the use of BIM. The starting point is design practice and international requirements for the complex evaluation of buildings.
New Ruralism as an Inspiration for Czech Rural Planning
(Vysoké učení technické v Brně, Fakulta architektury, 2021-11-29) Petr, Lukáš
New Ruralism represents an effort to extend the familiar principles of New Urbanism to non-urban areas with an emphasis on farmland protection. Various sources dealing with New Ruralism (mainly from the North American context) were analyzed using the desk research method. The regulatory and economic instruments of land development were described in detail. Using the example of New Ruralism, it was shown that economic instruments can appropriately complement standard landuse planning instruments even in the case of rural and agricultural planning. This finding can be an inspiration for rural planning in our environment.
