Petr Dýr, Ph.D. Vedoucí diplomové práce Abstrakt Budova Římských lázní a saunového sv ěta tvo ří spolu s d říve navrženým aquaparkem samostatný sportovn ě rekrea ční areál v blízkosti R ůženina lomu a bývalého lomu Hády v Brn ě. Hmota objektu je tém ěř krychlová a v p říčném sm ěru dopln ěna o venkovní atrium, s bazény, které p řechází do centrální prosklené části objektu. Tento prosv ětlený prostor slouží jako odpo činkové místo s možností výhledu na m ěsto Brno. Využití výhledu a slune ční energie je i z jihozápadní strany, kde je p řes dv ě podlaží navržena prosklená fasáda. Na fasádách objektu jsou úzká svislá okna, která v pohledu vytvá ří dojem kapající vody. Hlavním architektonickým zám ěrem bylo vytvo ření objektu nabízejícího relaxaci, vycházející z princip ů a tradic starov ěkého římského láze ňství, dopln ěnou o saunový sv ět a další související relaxa ční provozy.

The mass of the object is nearly cubic, and in the cross direction it is complemented with an external atrium, with swimming pools situated next to the central glass-fronted part of the object. This bright space functions as a place of relaxation and offers a view of the city of Brno. The view and solar energy have been used in the south-western part as well, where a two-floor glass front has been designed. On the facades of the object there are narrow vertical windows which create an effect of dripping water. The primary architectonic plan has been to create an object offering relaxation, originated in the principles and traditions of Ancient Roman bathing, complemented with a sauna world and further related relaxation establishments.

P ředpokládá se, že n ěkteré funkce (centrální šatny, restaura ční za řízení, …) budou spole čné. Hlavním architektonickým zám ěrem je vytvo ření objektu nabízejícího relaxaci, vycházející z princip ů a tradic starov ěkého římského láze ňství, dopln ěnou o saunový sv ět a další související relaxa ční provozy. Funk ční plochy jsou dané p říslušnou typologií, resp. vycházejí z obdobného typu staveb nebo vyplývají z obecných předpis ů a norem. Vyhledávací studie si klade za cíl sou časnou optimalizaci pot řebných prostor ů a ploch. Předpokládaná užitná kapacita je 150 - 200 osob. K této studii byla vymezena parcela v blízkosti R ůženina lomu a bývalého lomu Hády v Brn ě, v městské části Vinohrady. PRŮVODNÍ ZPRÁVA ŘÍMSKÉ LÁZNĚ A SAUNOVÝ SVĚT DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE KVĚTEN 2014 ▪ VEDOUCÍ PRÁCE ING. ARCH. PETR DÝR, PH.D. ▪ AUTOR BC . JANA MÁSLOVÁ VYSOKÉ UČENÍ TECHNICKÉ V BRNĚ ▪ FAKULTA STAVEBNÍ ▪ ÚSTAV ARCHITEKTURY PR ŮVODNÍ ZPRÁVA OBSAH: 01 Hlavní idea 02 Vymezení ú čel stavby 03 Urbanistické řešení 04 Architektonické řešení 05 Dispozi ční řešení 06 Konstruk čně-technické řešení 07 Ekologické aspekty návrhu 08 Základní vým ěry a bilance 09 Použité zdroje 01 Hlavní idea Předm ětem tématu diplomové práce je návrh architektonicko-urbanistické studie novostavby relaxa čního komplexu – Římské lázn ě a saunový sv ět, v četn ě souvisejících a dopl ňujících provoz ů (balneo, kosmetické a zkrášlovací služby, masáže, hotel (ubytování), administrativa). Budova sousedí s novostavbou aquacentra, které bylo řešeno jako předdiplomní projekt, a p římo navazuje na n ěkteré jeho provozy, které jsou spole čné pro ob ě budovy. 02 Vymezení a ú čel stavby Studie vychází z nového územního plánu m ěsta Brna, který významn ě posiluje a vymezuje plochy pro sport a rekreaci. Území se nachází v lokalit ě, která je svou polohou p římo ur čena pro sportovn ě rekrea ční stavbu, s možností navázat na ostatní aktivity, jak v rekrea ční zón ě (R ůženin lom), tak i ve m ěst ě Brn ě. Díky dob ře situované poloze je areál obklopen okolní volnou krajinou a sousedícím Růženiným lomem, který je v letním období hojn ě navšt ěvovanou brn ěnskou rekrea ční oblastí. V Brn ě, druhém nejv ětším m ěst ě ČR, je z řízeno mnoho relaxa čních wellness center, ovšem žádné není takového rozsahu a kapacity. Lokalita Hády nabízí vytvo ření rozsáhlého sportovn ě-rekrea čního za řízení pro celou městskou aglomeraci. Tato oblast pat ří do p řírodn ě rekrea čního zázemí m ěsta a je výrazn ě pohledov ě exponována. Místo je dob ře dopravn ě dostupné m ěstskými komunikacemi i ve řejnou dopravou. 2 Wellness je ur čeno pro návšt ěvníky všech v ěkových kategorií. Vzhledem k tomu, že budova je p řevážn ě řešena jako bezbariérová, m ůže nabídnout vyžití i ob čan ům t ělesn ě postiženým. Objekt je navržen pro kapacitu 150 – 200 osob. 03 Urbanistické řešení Urbanistické řešení stavby je ovlivn ěno p ředevším územím, na kterém je parcela umíst ěna. Stavební parcela se nachází v Jihomoravském kraji, na severovýchodním okraji m ěsta Brna, v městské části zvané Vinohrady. Zájmové území lázní je vymezeno ulicí Jedovnickou a Pr ůmyslovou v těsné návaznosti na sídlišt ě Líše ň. Ze severní strany je obklopeno pásem přím ěstské rekrea ční zelen ě, který je sou částí bývalého lomu Hády. Za významnou sousedící lokalitu se dá pokládat tzv. R ůženin lom. V nejbližším okolí je tedy pouze krajina přírodního rázu a sousední budova aquaparku. Řešené území je lemováno ze severní strany obslužnou komunikací Hády, vedoucí ze silnice Jedovnická (Brno – Líše ň) na Kulkovu a Podzimní (Brno Malom ěř ice a Ob řany).

  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is
    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

  • The Roman Baths Complex Is a Site of Historical Interest in the English City of Bath, Somerset
    Aquae Sulis The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath, Somerset. It is a well-preserved Roman site once used for public bathing. Caerwent Caerwent is a village founded by the Romans as the market town of Venta Silurum. The modern village is built around the Roman ruins, which are some of the best-preserved in Europe. Londinium Londinium was a settlement established on the current site of the City of London around 43 AD. Its bridge over the River Thames turned the city into a road nexus and major port, serving as a major commercial centre in Roman Britain until its abandonment during the 5th century. Dere Street Dere Street or Deere Street is what is left of a Roman road which ran north from Eboracum (York), and continued beyond into what is now Scotland. Parts of its route are still followed by modern roads that we can drive today. St. Albans St. Albans was the first major town on the old Roman road of Watling Street. It is a historic market town and became the Roman city of Verulamium. St. Albans takes its name from the first British saint, Albanus, who died standing up for his beliefs. Jupiter Romans believed Jupiter was the god of the sky and thunder. He was king of the gods in Ancient Roman religion and mythology. Jupiter was the most important god in Roman religion throughout the Empire until Christianity became the main religion. Juno Romans believed Juno was the protector of the Empire. She was an ancient Roman goddess who was queen of all the gods.

The frigidarium, the cold room of the thermal baths, is in an especially good shape, boasting an intact 14 meterhigh vault, making it the most spectacular room of the whole building.

  • New Frontiers of Ayurveda – 4. Turkey Prof
    New Frontiers of Ayurveda New Frontiers of Ayurveda – 4. Turkey Prof. Emeritus Subhash Ranade Dr. Sunanda Ranade Officially it is known as the Republic of Turkey, and is country in Eurasia, located mainly in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The country is encircled by seas on three sides, with the Aegean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the north, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles, which together form the Turkish Straits, divide Thrace and Anatolia and separate Europe from Asia. Ankara is its capital but Istanbul is the country's largest city. Ethnic Turks are more in number and Kurds are in minority. Turkey is a secular, unitary, formerly parliamentary republic which adopted a presidential system with a referendum in 2017; the new system came into effect with the presidential election in 2018. Turkey's current administration headed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of the AKP has enacted measures to increase the influence of Islam, and also reversed earlier reforms such as freedom of press. Within this unitary framework, Turkey is subdivided into 81 provinces for administrative purposes. Each province is divided into districts, for a total of 923 districts. Turkey is also subdivided into 7 regions and 21 sub regions for geographic, demographic and economic purposes. Our Visits to Turkey – International Academy of Ayurveda had signed MOU with Israeli Center of Ayurveda affiliated to the University of Tel Aviv and we were conducting 2 year Ayurveda Certificate course for 7 years.

  • Popular and Imperial Response to Earthquakes in the Roman Empire
    Popular and Imperial Response to Earthquakes in the Roman Empire A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Christopher M. Higgins June 2009 © 2009 Christopher M. Higgins. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Popular and Imperial Response to Earthquakes in the Roman Empire by CHRISTOPHER M. HIGGINS has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Jaclyn Maxwell Associate Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT HIGGINS,CHRISTOPHER M., M.A., June 2009, History Popular and Imperial Response to Earthquakes in the Roman Empire (120 pp.) Director of Thesis: Jaclyn Maxwell This thesis examines popular and imperial response to earthquakes in the Roman Empire period from the reign of Augustus through the reign of Justinian. It examines religious and scientific attitudes towards earthquakes throughout the classical period and whether these attitudes affected the disaster relief offered by Roman emperors. By surveying popular and imperial reactions throughout the time period this thesis shows that Roman subjects reacted in nearly identical manners regardless of the official religion of the Empire. The emperors followed a precedent set by Augustus who was providing typical voluntary euergetism. Their responses showcased imperial philanthropy while symbolizing the power and presence of the Roman state even in far off provinces. The paper also examines archaeological evidence from Sardis and Pompeii each of whose unique archaeological circumstances allows for an illustration of methods of reconstruction following earthquakes of massive and moderate size.

    Ancient linkages within phenomenological architecture Ruben Wills (13945330) “Every touching experience of architecture is multi-sensory; qualities of space, matter and scale are measured equally by the eye, ear, nose, skin, tongue, skeleton and muscle. Architecture strengthens the existential experience, one’s sense of being in the world, and this is essentially a strengthened experience of self” (Pallasmaa 2005, 41). The most enticing aspect in studying architecture is the enormous power afforded to us as designers. Architects have the power to guide people through a space, allow people to experience smell, texture, taste, and evoke these strong memories from exact circumstances that memory was planted. They can make people elated or melancholy, chilly or comfortable, inspired or insipid. It is in the innate nature of a place that which the experience creates and evokes memory. Every architectural piece evokes the experiential nature of space and its interaction with the senses in some manner, however to many different degrees based on the intricacies and underlying concept. There is undoubtedly one piece in particular that captures the true essence of architectural phenomenology; capturing the senses we as humans process. Peter Zumthor’s thermal baths, Therme in Vals, Switzerland is an iconic example of the ability an architect has to allow humans to fully experience sensation through a structure. Not only does the interior cater for perhaps never before encountered experiences; the exterior creates a modernistic statement through the juxtaposition of mountainous meadow against Therme’s dark, tall stone façade. In an attempt to understand some of the underlying historical influences of Therme is to appreciate the era of its development as a stark contrast to the discovery of the chrome and jet pumping technologies and other enhanced forms of private luxury of the late 20th century by reaching back in time through the baths of Roman, Islamic and Japanese traditions of public bathing and treat it as a quiet, sensual public work; rather than a public playground.
