Hospital Na Františku - from religiouses, over the emperor, up to present day
BARTÍKOVÁ, Alžběta
Located in the heart of the capital city of Prague, hospital Na Františku is the longest operating healthcare facility in Czech Republic and possibly even in the wider region. Its origins date back to the mid-14th century, with the first mentions of its buildings found in historical sources. Despite its rich and extensive history and current status as the longest operating hospital, there is currently no standalone publication that comprehensively addresses the history of the hospital and the circumstances that influenced its evolution. The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive and chronological overview of the historical events at the hospital. Additionally, this work seeks to impart knowledge to all those, who are interested in the hospital's past, as it provides more detailed descriptions and explanations of some of the more publicly appealing facts that are often misinterpreted due to questionable journalistic popularization. The whole diploma thesis has been conducted as a qualitative historical research, with the chosen investigative method being analysis of historical sources. The main origins of information were historical books, contemporary periodicals, and archival materials. All the information have been thoroughly analyzed and utilized to reconstruct the history and operation of the hospital. A significant resource was the collection of the Brothers of Mercy stored in the National Archive of Prague, along with numerous books and documents from the Brothers of Charity library and archive in Brno. Additional historical literary materials were discovered within the library of Institute for history of medicine and foreign languages. The synthesis of data primarily focused on key historical events that occured at the hospital as well as the eminent figures who worked within its walls. The history of the facility is also strongly associated with the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God, that run the hospital for over 300 years. Therefore, attention is also given to this order and the healthcare provided by the brothers at the hospital. The outcome of the work is a detailed summary of key events and changes within the hospital over the centuries. Each period is described with an emphasis on significant transformations, innovations, events, and personalities associated with the hospital. Additionally, the work covers key historical events such as epidemics, wars and changes in social and political conditions that have influenced the hospital and healthcare in a broader context.

A Hegemonic City: Discursive approach to ideology and dominance in development and planning of post-socialist Prague
Orcígr, Václav ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Vacková, Barbora (referee) ; Naxera, Vladimír (referee)
Late capitalist society is dominated by specific attributes of neoliberal ideology, which are inscribed in various ways in the politics of governance in the context of geographical location, political and social organization, economic situation, and other parameters. Discourse plays a specific role in the reproduction and legitimation processes of ideology. This thesis elaborates a theoretical approach to ideological dominance in the topic of urban development, specifically post-socialist Prague. The latter, as an urban space that has undergone major changes of post-revolutionary transformation, becomes a specific arena in which the discursive manifestations of various actors contribute to the production of theoretically identified (and also other yet unrecognized) patterns of dominant ideology. These, in turn, create a discursive field in which reproductive and legitimizing schemas are produced that contribute to the fact that the theme of urban development serves as one of the significant means that reinforce the global hegemonic position of neoliberal capitalism. The thesis builds on Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical approach to identify the actor field within which the processes of reproduction and legitimation occur, and works with Bourdieu's theory of ideological domination, which he developed...

Krausová, Sára ; Bendová, Eva (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of sculpture from 1966-1989 in Prague's public space. Through specific examples of works, the most significant paradigms of deterioration of art in public space are presented, which depend on contemporary reception and treatment. The period in question is defined by the validity of the decree on the application of artistic design in investment construction. The government resolution defined the principles for securing funding of one to four percent for the artistic design of buildings, public spaces and urban concepts. Thanks to state support for art, a large number of realisations were created in Czechoslovakia, which were often left to decay and destruction after the fall of the regime. The introductory chapter describes the cultural and historical circumstances of the creation of these works of art in public spaces in Prague. The main part of the thesis deals with a detailed analysis of specific sculptural realizations with emphasis on their current condition. These works are categorized subsequently: removal, replacement, absent care and preservation of the work of art. Particular attention is paid to civic and institutional support for the arts in the public space and efforts to reintroduce a percentage for the arts. Keywords art in public space,...

REVITALIZATION OF ČKD FORMER FACTORIES IN PRAGUE, VYSOČANY
Formánek, Jakub ; Zemánek, Václav (referee) ; Zemánková, Helena (advisor)
Prague and other cities in the Czech republic are currently struggling with a housing crisis, which causes raising of prices of houses and apartments. For many people it is an unapproachable goal to own a place. Suburb living projects are a slightly cheaper option, although they increase transportation demands and it is not a sustainable option in general. The city government is trying to support transformations of industrial areas - former factories or abandoned buildings – called brownfields. Vysočany district has changed a lot recently. Former industrial areas are demolished and replaced by new residential or administrative buildings. All the development projects have one thing in common – the absence of something that connects them into urban structure. The aim of this project is to desing a new construction instead of former CKD factories, which are not used anymore. Three new urban blocks nearby Kolbenova street are trying to respect other buildings around (if possible) and create a standard for future development. Also, they support the effort of the city council to create a lively boulevard on Kolbenova street. The project is designed as a polyfunctional unit to remain active during the whole day. The concept comprises urban residental blocks, administrative buildings and public spaces.
