“…On the other hand, multiple challenges are associated with prefabrication, including high capital costs, which makes it hard to enter the market; lack of skills and knowledge for new design and construction processes (Chen & Samarasinghe, 2020;Lu et al, 2020); and environmental and management issues associated with transport and logistics (Shih, Huang, Liu, Wu, & Wang, 2005). In addition, for many homebuyers, the term 'standardised building' still evokes images of either temporary or cheap and low-quality housing solutions, despite the existing counterexamples, like Le Havre (UNESCO World Heritage Centre, 2005) and Zlín (Kasper & Kasperova, 2018). Nadim and Goulding (2011) also found that unsuccessful past examples pull back the EU construction industry from embracing offsite production.…”

Off-site manufacturing may play a significant role in improving both process and output productivity in the construction industry and achieving UN Sustainability Development Goals 11 and 13. However, uniform mass production can lead to a monotonous built environment that may be alienating to people. Past examples show that such buildings and neighbourhoods can rapidly become obsolete, which makes them unsustainable. In this study, two online surveys were conducted with over 100 participants focusing on prejudices towards mass manufactured residential buildings and diversity requirements for homes among Hungarian young adults. In contrast to previous studies, respondents evaluated example scenarios with standardised buildings not as observers but by imagining how they would feel or act in situations involving these buildings. The first survey examined the bias of respondents towards mass manufactured buildings with Likert, Thurstone, and semantic differential scales. The second examined how respondents would feel if they visited a home similar to their own by varying visiting frequency and degree of similarity. T-tests showed that prejudices were positive, except concerning mass manufactured buildings' diversity, and respondents were only negative about having to see identical dwellings to theirs on a regular basis. The results suggest that in Hungary, non-uniform but standardised residential buildings can serve as a suitable tool to provide affordable housing to young adults affected by the housing crisis.

Příspěvek se soustředí na výuku cizích jazyků v prostředí baťovského Zlína ve třicátých letech minulého století na příkladu soukromé cizojazyčné školy. Cílem příspěvku je prozkoumat, popsat a vysvětlit vznik a další vývoj cizojazyčné školy a rozvíjení jazykových schopností žáků v jejích podmínkách v období meziválečném. Metodologicky vycházíme z tradičně používaných metod historického výzkumu (metoda přímá a nepřímá). Vzdělávací instituci zkoumáme jak ze širších celospolečenských souvislostí, tak zároveň sledujeme každodenní život školy pomocí historiografického přístupu mikrohistorie. Předložená studie je rozdělena na tři části. Nejprve vysvětlujeme metodologii výzkumu, poté se zaměřujeme na faktory ovlivňující vznik a organizaci zkoumané cizojazyčné školy, a nakonec se zabýváme rozvíjením jazykových schopností žáků. Výsledky výzkumu ukazují úzké propojení vedení koncernu Baťa a života zkoumané školy. Výběr a způsob zprostředkování učiva nebyl determinován pouze potřebami výrobního podniku, ale i meziválečným reformním hnutím a novými přístupy k výuce cizích jazyků.
