Residental architecture at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Zbraslav focusing on the villa Planá růže
Nováková, Markéta ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
Annotation: This dissertation focuses on villa architecture at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, the causes for its development and its purpose. It focuses mainly on the area of the capital city of Prague and its vicinity as this is where the majority of buildings are situated. It pays close attention to historicism, an architectural movement that drew its inspiration from the art of the past. It explores the contemporary attitude towards and perception of this then new style of architecture. Having considered historicism and its influence, this work shifts its focus towards the origin and historical development of the town Zbraslav, which became a popular location for this emerging style of villa architecture at the turn of the 19th and 20th Century. In this town, the primary focus is the villa Plana Ruze from 1898, an interesting example of late historicism due to its neorenaissance gable, secessionist frescoes and a corner tower facing South-East. This is then compared to the Villa Flora and the Villa U Male Reky 621, which are also characterized by the South East facing corner tower.

Decanal church of St. Bartholomeus: The picture of decanal church on the background of the evolution of the medieval Pelhřimov
Peltan, Václav ; Šmied, Miroslav (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the question about the beginning of the town Pelhřimov which belonged to Řečice the estate of Prague bishops as well as the development of religious buildings in this town. In the old pre-location settlement existed from the middle 12th century the church of St. Vitus, to which in the early 14th century was added the church of Virgin Mary In The Walls (during the Reformation was its patrocinium changed to patrocinium St. Bartholomew the Apostle). After a confusing period of the Hussite revolt and the subsequent reorganization of the Church in Bohemia the church of St. Vitus in the suburbs began to slowly losing its importance as a church of Virgin Mary within the walls fully developed and became a the parish church, later decanal. Based on my own research, unpublished studies and reconstructive models I am presenting the form of decanal church in Pelhřimov in time of founding, at the turn of the 13th and 14th century in which slight changes remained until the mid-16th century. The construction phase is often neglected in the literature, and it is not yet sufficiently investigated nor targeted. This bachelor thesis is supplementing the gap in knowlege of Pelhřimov's decanal church. Keywords Pelhřimov, decanal church, the 14s century, Middle Ages, early gothic, basilica
