Heritage Preservation at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s in Prague
 Kusáková, Anna ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to conduct a survey of the preservation of architectural cultural heritage at the end of the 1980s and beginning of the 1990s. This will be demonstrated using as an example the historical centre of Prague. The thesis is divided into two similar parts. The first one focuses on the system, workings and legislation of heritage preservation in the 1980s. Partially it describes broader social and political aspects of the 1980s as well. The second part addresses the same topics, but during the beginning of the 1990s. In each case, three heritage preservation examples have been selected and these provide a closer examination of the system of cultural heritage preservation described earlier. The research work conducted demonstrates that whilst during the 1970s and 1980s a preservation system of the centre of Prague was gradually established, the 1990s saw the system being slowly disrupted and weakened, whether intentionally or unintentionally. However, heritage preservation never achieved a fully satisfactory standard in either studied period. Keywords: heritage preservation - historic preservation - architecture - urbanism - Prague - 20th century

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...
