KADLEC, David
Bachelor's work is in theoretical-practical form. The theoretical part provides not only an insight into the history of the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Stará Boleslav, but also an emphasis is placed on placing the building in the context of the Baroque age and also an analysis of the church on the architectural side. Also in the theoretical section there is no mention of the Palladium země České, whose history is also devoted to several pages. The practical part presents a visual interpretation of the genius loci of the N.P.M. church, which is projected into a set of drawings.

Column orders as bearers of particular meaning: Examples from Czech Baroque architecture
Popatanasovská, Bojana ; Lunger-Štěrbová, Daniela (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
Column orders as bearers of characteristic meaning: Examples from Czech Baroque Architecture The aim of this bachelor thesis is to present the column orders as possible bearers of a certain meaning. For this reason, especially in the Baroque period, the five orders were modified in various ways. In my thesis I will present the most common of these modifications by means of several examples divided according to the five known column orders and one new form whose symbolic meaning I will try to better approach. In the case of the Tuscan Order, this is the example of the gate of the Imperial Mill in Bubenč, while I will demonstrate the modification of the Doric Order by the example of the symbolism of the side facade of the Church of St. Thomas in Prague's Lesser Town. I will describe the Ionic and Corinthian orders in one chapter using the example of the facade of the Troja castle in Prague and the Composite order on the example of the interior of the church of St. John of Nepomuk in Skalka. The last part of the thesis is devoted to a certain new form of the established orders, which I will try to present better on a set of buildings in the surroundings of the Cistercian abbey in Plasy, specifically on the convent of the Plasy monastery itself, the chapel of the Name of the Virgin Mary in Mladotice...

The Mannor House and the S. John of Nepomuk Church in Vyklantice in the Age of Harrach
NEVAŘILOVÁ, Zuzana
My thesis deals with the buildings of the castle and the church of Saint John of Nepomuk in Vyklantice which was built between 1722 and 1729 by Jan Jáchym Harrach. Firstly, the work presents the history of the Vyklantice manor and the history of both buildings. Description of the present state of the castle and the church is confronted with photographs from the 1970s. Finally, the work focuses on the genealogy of the Harrachs family and other estates owned by Jan Jáchym and his brother Ferdinand Markvart Harrach. The core of the thesis is in the following chapters which deal with a question of authorship of the Vyklantice constructions. The first criticism has been made on actual addition of researchers who attribute these objects to K. I. Dientzenhofer or J. B. Santini-Aichl and J. L. von Hildebrandt. The survey shows that the buildings in Vyklantice are probably the work of a local builder, as objects do not show the quality of the artistic creation of the architects mentioned above.

Invalidovna in Prague
Turková, Kateřina ; Pučalík, Marek (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
This bachelor thesis "Invalidovna in Prague" focuses on the building of Invalidovna in Prague which was meant to be an imitation of Hôtel des Invalides in Paris. Invalidovna was situated far from Prague at the time of its construction. Today Karlín is a part of the inner Prague, however only few Prague inhabitants know or have visited Invalidovna. The importance of the building, to which has never been dedicated an extensive monograph, is obvious when we know, that for the realization was hired Kilian Ignac Dientzenhofer. This work tries to evaluate the building from the artistic perspective and also according to the context of the time. The first part of the paper concentrates on Špitálsko - presently Karlín, on which lands is Invalidovna built. The next part focuses on hospitals for retired soldiers in general. The aim is also to evaluate the Prague realization in the context of similar projects in Europe. The most extensive part of the work is devoted to the circumstances of construction which has never been implemented as planned, to its development and especially to the architectural description. The final part follows the history of Invalidovna and the transformation of its appearance and function to the present.
