Early medieval sacral architecture in the Písek region- revision and analysis
NOVODVORSKÝ, Petr
Písecko is one of the South Bohemian regions where considerable building activity was carried out in the early Middle Ages. At that time, the efforts to colonise the uninhabited and vast forested landscape gave rise to several important cultural centres. The oldest of these emerged at the end of the 12th century in Milevsko. The influential Grand Duke George founded a monastery here, which he filled with a convent of the Premonstratensian Order. There was a workshop at the monastery, which influenced the construction activity of the surrounding area. As a result, a number of rural churches were built in the landscape, the morphology of which is often indicative of the participation of the workshop. Around the middle of the 13th century, another important cultural centre appeared in southern Bohemia, connected with the spread of monarchical power and the founding activities of King Přemysl Otakar II. The founding of the town of Písek and the major expansion of Zvíkov Castle required the construction of another South Bohemian building workshop, referred to in literature as the Písek-Zvíkov workshop. Its influence also reached the area around Milevsko, where the churches analysed and mapped in this thesis are located in the form of a catalogue. It will also include a review of the issue of the so-called Písek-Zvíkov workshop as it was formulated in Czech research more than forty years ago. On the basis of building-historical research and formal analysis of the buildings, the question of the influence of the building workshops should be clarified and an attempt should be made to place the South Bohemian buildings in a corresponding Central European context.

Polyfunctional zone MOŘICE okr. Prostějov
Pajerová, Silvia ; Vojtová, Lea (referee) ; Dýr, Petr (advisor)
The topic of the thesis is a polyfunctional zone in the area of ZOD Agrispol in the village of Mořice in the Prostějov district. The area is divided into two main parts in the design, namely agricultural production and housing. The production part of the area was designed conceptually and in mass, when the areas were complemented by new biogas plant and plant production. In detail, the area with the housing function for workers of the cooperative, for young families and housing for the elderly was designed within the work. The residential part is designed in the form of terraced houses and semi-detached houses with small gardens. The new development is inspired by a typical Moravian village and the village of Morice itself. The central semi-public space intended for the inhabitants of the designed site is open to the municipal park with the castle and the church, thus taking advantage of the potential of the pleasant location of the historic core of the village. The housing proposal adds materially to the currently missing edge of the park, whilst keeping the plan footprint of the former Dudek Farmhouse and materially separating the agricultural operation from the residential area of the village.

Landscape, settlements and monuments in Georg II. Buquoy’s diary from the italian journey in 1839 and 1840
Binder, Filip
The paper is dedicated to Count Georg II. Buquoy and his Italian journey of 1839 and 1840, which the text traces on the basis of the Count's letters addressed to his mother Gabriele, transcribed to form a travel diary. The text attempts to penetrate the thought-world of the aristocrat, who was 25 years old at the time of the journey, and examines how Buquoy reflected on the landscape, architecture, art and towns or the seats of nobility rulers during the expedition. The study also asks whether the information contained in Georg's correspondence, or rather in the letters of the aristocrat correlate with the results of recent historical and art historical research presenting Buquoy as an aristocrat whose romantic disposition was reflected in his activities, first of all in his artistic activities, documented by surviving sketchbooks, and also in the reconstruction of the castle in Rožmberk and the creation of the family museum there and alteration of the landscape parks founded by his ancestors. By analyzing the diary and the excerpts contained therein, it was possible to highlight the sentimental elements in the text of the count, who wrote his mother about the deep feelings and emotions that nature and visits to towns and monuments and seeing art works evoked in him. This also gives his lines an added literary value, since the Count was not trying to give his mother a mere description of what he had seen and visited, but to inform her of the movements of his mind and of the atmosphere of the various places he visited during his journey. The diary also confirms Buquoy's strong and positive relationship with art, architecture and nature, but points out its limits.

The Representation of the Svojanov castle in the 19th and 20th Century Czech Literature
URBÁNKOVÁ, Soňa
The small town of Svojanov, dominated by a medieval castle, has become an inspiration for many authors, prose writers, and poets. The first references to Svojanov can be found at the time of the National Revival, and this literary tradition continues to the present time. The aim of this work is to document all available texts in which the literary image of the place was developed during the 19th and 20th centuries. In particular, the genres in which the given image was applied and how it changed in the context of contemporary literary discourses (emphasis will be placed on the dominant discourses of 19th-century romanticism, parnasism, realism). The available electronic resources (Caslin catalog, Retrobi database, ) will be used for the research and the resulting text will be provided to the Svojanov castle administration.

Bidlasová, Lucie ; Bobek, Karel ; Bušta, Jaroslav ; Horyna, Tomáš ; Kadlec, Miloš ; Kunst, Lukáš ; Ryšavý, Radek ; Slavko, Pavel ; Weiss, Petr
The methodology is structured into separate chapters focusing on elementary topics of cultural property management. The preamble contains a short overview of historical development of historical landmark manager with international excursus and key words dictionary that would be appreciated by beginners unaware of the professional vocabulary. Main topics of management are: 1) Property management within the technical, organizational, economical and legal meaning. The subchapters formulate individual segments of various activities such as cultural and administrative assets evidence, employment relations, bookkeeping and budgeting. 2) Property safeguarding from securing it against theft to monitoring the artefacts microclimatic conditions. 3) Rehabilitation and maintenance of entrusted property especially emphasizing the realization of preventive solutions and providing a day-to-day care that results in continuity of historical values, methods and authenticity and in the end also significantly decreases the cost of maintaining the physical essence of the monument. 4) Presentation of cultural values to public, transmission of research outcomes and strengthening the cultural identity of society towards its history and values. The end of the text includes a crucial chapter focusing on planning and formulating of visions and conceptions of maintenance of concrete heritage areas. This part is extremely crucial as it is often overlooked. Sometimes from intellectual reasons but usually from a lack of time that is dedicated to operative solutions of concrete problems without an overall conception. These partial solutions are isolated with no linkup between them. The methodology urges the mangers to focus on conceptual activities and planning that will pay off in a long run.
