Comparison of approaches to the conservation of modern architecture in the context of contemporary ideological influences
Pilařová, Zdislava ; Indrová, Martina (advisor) ; Jordánová, Květa (referee)
The thesis focuses on the comparison of two approaches to the protection of modern architectural cultural heritage. The first approach is the protection of the First Republic, especially functionalist buildings, which began with the first culture heritage law No. 22/1958 Coll. The second approach is devoted to the contemporary challengers of protecting buildings from the socialist era in the context of reflecting the past that the buildings may represent. Both approaches are related to the issue of the subjectivity and ideological conditionality of heritage protection. The research is set in the context of the development of architecture since the 1920s, the development of heritage protection, and the context of reflecting the past. The fate of selected monuments that have become central points to the change of narrative is also discussed. The thesis employs a method of qualitative analysis of information obtained from the contemporary literature and the National Heritage Institute's web platform Památkový katalog, followed by a comparison of approaches to the conservation of buildings in the style of functionalism and buildings from the socialist era. The thesis tries to connect several themes - the development of functionalist architecture and architecture from the socialist era, the development...

The work of Antonin Tenzer involves his activities in the period of six decades in the turbulent era of development of Czechoslovak history of architecture. The architect is known as one of the representatives of the avant-garde and High functionalism, author of Faculty Hospital in Prague-Motol and other medical buildings or the Jalta hotel, a building associated with socialist realism. In my dissertation, I tried to map the main typological fields that Antonín Tenzer used in his work. My goal was to widen the portfolio of famous buildings, and on the basis I defined the architect's major themes and current issues, which were responded in his effort. I based primarily on historic materials - published projects, plan documentation and writings of public and private archives, as well as personal heritage, made available to me by the architect's family. In particular thematic areas I focused on Tenzer's vital and successful implementation of competition projects, which he later followed and extended.

I observed the influence of historical events and the socio-political situation in his work, for example, housing issues in...
