The church of the Assumption in Horní Jiřetín in context of Wallenstein's building activities on the Duchov manor
Priknerová, Pavla ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Biegel, Richard (referee)
This thesis deals with the church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Horní Jiřetín, built between 1694 and 1700, after the project of Jean Baptiste Mathey. The thesis draws a comparsion between the church and the group of other sacral structures built on the Duchcov domain for Jan Bedřich of Wallenstein. On the grounds of elaborate analysis it becomes apparent, that Jiřetín church is the finest building in this group and - contrary to existing evaluation among historians of art - that it is one of the remarkable Mathey's works of his late period, which in its quality and complexity isnť far behind his better known masteripieces. This thesis includes also new plan documentation and detailed photographic materiál.

Bohumil Hypšman - The modern architect in historical town
Kusáková, Anna ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
(in English): This bachelor's thesis analyses five selected works by architect Bohumil Hypšman. The mail goal is to identify the architect's approach when designing buildings within historical center of Prague. The first two chapters summarize the architect's life body of work in general. Then selected projects are described in detail. First two buildings, Funeral house of fraternity Cherva Kadiša in Josefov and apartment house Matějovského on Národní třída street, are from the same era (1910 - 1912) and both serve as rental housing. However, they are located in very different urban settings. This thesis compares and contrasts these two buildings. This analysis is based on factors such as location, buildings design and features typical for the same time period. Next chapter is devoted to Plodinová burza outhouse on Senovážné Square (1928 - 1929). This serves as an example of Hypšman approach to similar outhouses to historical buildings. Large portion of the thesis deals with Hypšman's and Antonín Engel's Petrské enbankment settlement proposal. This grand urban project from the twenties still remains unfinished. Last but not least one of the main focuses of this thesis is buildings below Na Slovanech monastery also from the twenties. Realization of this Hypšman's most important project was preceded...

The Church of the St.John the Baptist in Hořelice and dynamic Baroque in Czech lands
Drápalová, Kristýna ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Biegel, Richard (referee)
(in English): Bachelor thesis The Church of the St. John the Baptist in Hořelice and dynamic Baroque in Czech lands deals with the position of this high-quality work of Czech baroque architecture in the context of contemporary architectonic production. The aim of the work, besides making a detailed description of the building, was to decide the question of the autorship of Hořelice's church. Therefore, the chosen method was formal analysis of its architectonic form. Two baroque artists came in consideration - famous Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer and his less known fellow Ferdinand Václav Špaček, who both worked in service of Anne Marie Grand Duchess of Toscany, at whose impuls the church was built. Based on a comparison with works of those two architects, Špaček's autorship clearly seems more likely. In the final part of this work is attached one chapter, dedicated to this not enough noted architect and evaluation of his work.

Counterparty Risk under Basel III
Macek, Petr ; Teplý, Petr (advisor) ; Rippel, Milan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to address the implications of Basel III regulation on counterparty credit risk. We analysed the development of OTC market, we addressed systemic risk and the way how central counterparties could mitigate or spread the contagion among banks. We used simulated data to develop a stress test model to find out the impact of counterparty credit risk on banks' capital requirements, in case the interest rate increased extensively. Six pos- sible scenarios of interest rate levels were developed with ascending order of the IR level. From these scenarios we computed the exposure levels and credit valuation adjustment (CVA) as the market value of counterparty credit risk. We came to the following conclusions: (1) Czech banks have enough capital to withstand any interest rate increase in any scenario. (2) Banks with high expo- sure to derivatives like Bank of America, Citibank and JP Morgan would face severe problems if the interest rate increased. (3) There is no direct correlation between credit valuation adjustment and interest rate, the CVA increases faster with the increase of the interest rate.

The Circle of architects of Albrecht of Wallenstein in early Baroque period. The first rare indications of early Baroque productions/ creations are appearing already in second decade of 17th century, mainly in the work of imperial architect Giovanni Mario Filippi. We can consider his work as a first stage of the architectonical production which was implemented for the one of the most important personality of the Thirty Year War - the duke Albrecht of Walenstein. The circle of Walenstein architects was created by three distinctive representatives, those proved successfully individually but also as a team working above the joint projects. They were able to fulfill the Wallenstein magnificent intentions. These architects were Andrea Spezza, Giovanni Pieroni and Nicola Sebregondi. These three Italians architects and builders were leading figures of the mentioned circle of which part were also Vincenzo Bocacci, Baccio Bianco and Giovanni Marini.

Huml, Václav ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
This thesis describes architectural and urban projects - both realized and unrealized - for the Lesser Town bank in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the World War Two. The primary point of our work is the description and the analysis of the projects, not theoretical interpretation. The reader is thus able to follow the differnet attituteds of the architects and find out how much they incorporated their projects into the historical character of the Lesser Town, which is one of the oldest and the most magnificent urban area in the world. In its streets, buildings and the beauty of detail are displayed talent and skills of home and foreing craftsmen and artists, who had always succeeded in identifying themselves with the historical character of this part of the city at the foot of Prague Castle. The Lesser Town has preserved its medieval character in every historical epoch. Nevertheless each of them has imprinted its marks on this part of the city and neither our period is the exception.
