Sacral buildings in urbanism of the municipalities of Prague in 19th and 20th century
Háčková, Tereza ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with sacral architecture in the urban structure of the Prague districts of the 19th and 20th centuries. The aim is to answer the question whether these two centuries prolong the tradition in which the urban structure responded to sanctuaries, which were often the basic starting point for new urban foundations or, on the contrary, only respond to the given urban situation. The main ambition of the work is to create a set of material from Prague urbanism to illustrate the development of relationship between sacral structures and urban space during the 19th and 20th centuries. Based on available sources, documents, catalogs, and maps, the work tries to compare new church builders with a catholic tradition without excluding the issue of minor christian churches and synagogues from the scope of the work. Keywords urbanism, sacral architecture, 19th and 20th century, Prague

Otto Rothmayer
Bejšovcová, Kristýna ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis is a monograph of the architect Otto Rothmayer. The analysis focuses on the symbiotic cooperation with his fellow architect Josip Plečnik at the Prague Castle, but also studies Rothmayer's other projects. Besides villas that Rothmayer designed for his friends, artistic blacksmith Otakar Hátle and sculptress Hana Wichterlová, the analysis will focus on the recently restored family villa of Božena and Otto Rothmayer in Střešovice, Prague. In addition to Rothmayer's architectural work, this thesis also studies Rothmayer's lifelong activity as a designer. By reflecting on this architect's various professional accomplishments, this thesis attempts to refine Otto Rothmayer's place in 20th century Czech architecture.
