The research focuses on the transformation of buildings in urban areas in the Olomouc region and the potential that this process includes for the city government, the investor, and the end user - residents and citizens. The theoretical work maps, categorizes and evaluates existing examples of reconstructions from 1992 (when it was established in its current form ČKA) to the present day. For comparison, it will put local conditions into context with examples from other parts of the Czech Republic and abroad in order to compare the socio-cultural, economic and also legislative and normative context. The outcome will be a web interface publishing the findings and conclusions, part of the research and one of the intermediate outputs will be a contribution to a book focused on reconstructions, as well as ongoing public presentations and discussions. Applied research in the positive level of contemporary Czech architectural creation will be concluded in the form of case studies on several objects according to the categorization during the research, clearly proving the methods used and verification of the hypothesis.

Architecture and art have a specific relationship to each other, often overlapping and creating dialogue. The aim of this work is to examine the interdisciplinary interconnection of architecture, art and design in the context of the interior of buildings for housing, public or commerce. The output of the project will be the publication of interviews with architects, artists and clients who can comment on the topic relevantly. It is assumed that the inclusion of other disciplines in the collaboration of architectural design creates more refined and cultural spaces.

The research will focus on defining conceptions of "small" and "economy" individual housing, and on accumulating inspirational contemporary examples of Czech realizations. The research theoretical ground of our interest is the mode how the meaning of the "small" and " economy" conceptions have progressed during the 20th and 21st century and how the conceptions are defined and perceived at present. The main purpose of our research lies in gathering inspirational contemporary examples and evluating them not only from town planning, architectural, structuraly technical nd energy point of view. We are interested also in legislative context and opinion of municipalities. Furthermore, we are interested in practical experience of individuals residing the constructions and extent of adequacy of their financial investments. For purpose of getting the research outcome to the utmost cohort of expert and laic public, we would like the research conclusions are published as a book to common distribution, in paralel to the book we will present the research conclusions continously on a web established for that, on a blog, in social and printed media, at conferences and lectures.

Most essays and publications on residential housing and private homes featuring visual documentation focus on the building itself and only in exceptional cases explore the building's relationship to its surroundings. In this case, the illustrated study will focus not only on the building's architecture but primarily on the environment in which it is built, including its relationship to the site's historical context and various aspects of newly created relationships. By providing additional illustrations and photographs, the survey expands on the dissertation "The Representation of Architectural Form in Photography."

The project follows continuous research at the Department of Architectural Design I at FA CTU Prague, dealing with trends in individual housing architecture (Czech Republic after 2000). This theoretical work explores, analyses, classifies and puts into the context examples of high quality family houses by by Czech architects. This segment offers a wide range of architecture works and, compared to other typologies, also the largest client interventions, through which we get a more accurate reflection of society. The output of this project will be another professional monograph describing Czech works in the area of individual housing, following titles 99 HOUSES and CZECH HOUSES.
