Chandigarh - Indian dream of the city
Spilková, Klára ; Tichý, Jan (referee) ; Pavlovský, Tomáš (advisor)
This Bachelor’s Thesis deals with the creation and development of the Indian city of Chandigarh, built on the green field. Its creation was necessitated by major political problems related to the establishment of India as a sovereign nation. The first part explains architectural and urban principles of the world-famous architect Le Corbusier, who was the author of the Master Plan of Chandigarh. Subsequently, the creation and development of Chandigarh is laid out, up to the present. The practical section compares Chandigarh with Amritsar, a traditional Indian city, followed by a study of the present state of selected city sectors, together with an analysis of the land use. The purpose of the Thesis is to present the problems of city construction on the green field, including an analysis of functionality. Given that there is as yet no Czech work dealing with the creation, development, and present state of Chandigarh in a similar extent, this work might be found useful.

Chandigarh planned and unplanned city
Urbášková, Hana
Chandigarh is one of the few planned cities of the twentieth century that combines monumental architecture, cultural growth and modernization. It is located in northern India at the foot of the Shivalika Mountains. It is the capital of the two union states of Haryana and Punjab, on whose borders it lies, and a union territory of the Republic of India administered by the central government in New Delhi. The concept for the new capital was conceived by the then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who in 1949 commissioned the American architect Albert Mayer to design India's modern city. His concept of a garden city was reworked by the Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. Néhru's wish was to create a "city of tomorrow" that would provide a quality of life for its inhabitants. The present Chandigarh is a city of dilemmas in planned and unplanned aspects and conflicts. This paper addresses the questions: how does one live in Chandigarh, which was planned as an ideal CIAM city with the basic principles of urban planning as put forward by the Athens Charter? Has the urban plan enabled its inhabitants to live a "dream life, " as envisioned by the architect, or are the city's inhabitants trying to resume their accustomed lifestyle despite the plan? Has life in the city changed since the Chandigarh Capitol complex was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2016?

Modern architecture. The most famous functionalist villas.
VOJTÍŠKOVÁ, Lucie
The first part of the theoretical work is devoted to general modern architecture at the beginning of the twentieth century, its creation, original artists, and buildings created at that time. Closer, the bachelor work focuses on functionalism, both globally and in the Czech countries. The second part of the work describes the most famous functionalist architects in Europe who influenced other architecture works. The bachelor work's primary focus is on analyzing and comparing functionalist villas in the world and the Czech territory - Villa Savoye, Villa Tugendhat and Müller's Villa.

Albert Speer as an utopian urbanist? The Plan for the Rebuilding of Berlin in Comparison with The Radiant City by Le Corbusier
Rambousek, Filip ; Mikulová, Soňa (advisor) ; Pelánová, Anita (referee)
During the first half of the 20th century several urban concepts, based on criticism of the cities of that time, had been formulated. Their purpose was to carry out a social change by the means of the change of the physical environment. The plans for the rebuilding of Berlin were produced at the same time as The Radiant City by Le Corbusier, which serves as a model of the above-mentioned concepts. The author is using a comparative method to find out whether it is even possible in general, and if yes, then also to what extent, to consider Speer's plans for the rebuilding of Berlin one of the urban utopias represented here by The Radiant City. The thesis itself is based on thorough analysis of both projects from the perspective of functionality, as well as their ideological roots and political and other goals. To include all possible factors that could have influenced the development of the plans, there is also space dedicated to the biographies of the two men and to the circumstances under which the plans were developed given the social and political situation.

Unconventional Means of expression and techniques. Mathematical principles in comparing unconventional visual and musical art
Effenbergerová, Klára ; Bláha, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Šmíd, Jan (referee)
Univerzita Karlova v Praze / Pedagogická fakulta / Katedra výtvarné výchovy // Charles University in Prague / Faculty of Education / The Department of Fine Art Education Netradiční výrazové prostředky a techniky Matematické principy v komparaci netradičního výtvarného a hudebního díla UnconventionalMeansofexpressionandtechniques Mathematical principles in comparing unconventional visual and musical art Klára Effenbergerová Výtvarná výchova - pedagogika Prezenční studium, 5. ročník Datum dokončení: květen 2011 Vedoucí práce: Doc. PhDr. Jaroslav Bláha, Ph.D. Abstract The thesis deals with a comparative analysis of a project called Poéme électronique in the Philips Pavilion (1958), while an emphasis is put on its mathematical background and broader interdisciplinal contexts. Particular attention is devoted to grand oldman Iannis Xenakis. The thesis tries to interpret the phenomenon of Electronic poetry, which we understand as an effort to design a multimedia "Gesamtkunstwerk". This brings the necessitate of the multi-specialized synthetic approach in searching of a relationship between the kinds of arts, and the analysis of interactions of individual project components.

Modern Architecture and The Concept of Space
MIKOLÁŠKOVÁ, Jana
This work deals with the concept of space in the works of Le Corbusier and Adolf Loos, because every comparison between their works is so interesting. Their ideas involved the next evolution way of the modern architecture. Furthermore, this work deals with psycho-social terms of space in the Czech discourse and it points out why was the idea of functionalism, in its purely technical form, unsustainable.

Auguste Perret and Czech Architecture
Veselá, Radmila ; Švácha, Rostislav (advisor) ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Halík, Pavel (referee)
Auguste Perret made his mark in history as the first architect to make use of ferroconcrete as an expressive material. The Rue Franklin apartments, the Garage Ponthieu, and the Church in Le Raincy are all milestones in the development of world architecture. In my dissertation, I have outlined the situation in the French architectural criticism in the first decades of the 20th century in order to provide background to Perret's career, which is chronologically treated in another part of the dissertation and completed with an overview of Perret's important buildings. I also wanted to demonstrate the interconnection of his projects with his theoretical thinking. I have referred to the sources of Perret's doctrine and presented the themes that this architect consistently developed throughout his creative life. In my research I took advantage of a rich collection of preserved archives of Perret's office, and both historical and contemporary literature. In another part of the dissertation, I attempted to find answers to the questions of Perret's reception in the Czech context and his contacts with Czech architects. I was also interested in Perret's relation to Czech architecture and in the last section I examined whether we can find works in Czech architecture that directly reflect Perret's influence. We...
