The housing estates’ regeneration in accordance with the interests of the heritage care
Řepková, Hana
This methodical guide is based on a synthesis of three approaches to the revitalization of panel housing – urbanist, heritage and architectural. The guide aims to contribute to increasing the lifespan of panel housing while maintaining the estates‘ key values for their residents. It provides suggestions on how best to cultivate the housing estates‘ environment and to positively influence their status within the commonly held image of inhabited landscapes as an effective part of sustainable development of the structure of settlements in the Czech Republic. The guide strives to effectuate change in societal opinion by showcasing panel housing’s domestic history, embodied values and potential for development within the international context. Aside from foreign experiences, it focuses on an original and proven domestic method of facade appearance regulation. Adherence to basic regulations for the foundation and continuous upkeep of traditional urban structures helps panel housing to become a regular part of said structures. The guide encourages searching, appreciation and protection of outstanding and original solutions. The recognition of the specifics of Czech housing estates, which the guide identifies, is to serve as a starting point for their universal acceptance and eventual heritage care.

VERBA DOCENT (Current Methodology Possibilities and Good Practices of European Heritage Care) I
Michalčáková, Jana ; Vácha, Zdeněk ; Fischer, Manfred F. ; Hellbrügge, Christoph ; Jesenský, Vít ; Keiser, Clemens
Jana Access to the widest possible range of information is the first precondition for the development of all specialised disciplines. Present-day heritage care and all the fields that shape it not only must reflect the national experience, but they must also be aware of the fact that they are part of the wider international context. Nevertheless, access to international sources can often be limited for various reasons. The National Heritage Institute decided to at least partially eliminate this obstacle through the newly established VERBA DOCENT series to make available significant foreign sources. The first modest undertaking is the presentation of three texts by German preservationists, covering about thirty years of the monument preservation discourse. The texts date from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, i.e. the time when at least from the end of the 1970s a need for the repeated return to the crucial issues of care for tangible cultural heritage decidedly emerged along with the questioning of approaches that had long been regarded as fixed and unchangeable. The featured works include Manfred F. Fischer’s reflection essay ‘How Long the Artworks Last?’, Christoph Hellbrügge’s article ‘Yes to Conservation, No to Restoration” – The Heritage Care Myth?’, and Clemens Kieser’s text ‘Secret Aesthetics of Heritage Care: Discovered and Invented Cultural Monuments’. The texts are introduced in German originals along with their Czech translations and accompanied by brief comments and portraits of the authors.

In the Name of Socialism, in the Shadow of the Monarchy: Post-War Monument Care in Central Europe
Bachtík, Jakub ; Johanidesová, Tereza ; Uhlíková, Tereza ; Giustino, Cathleen ; Sklenář, Michal ; Novotný, Michal ; Mahringer, Paul ; Lövai, Pál ; Spikić, Marko ; Janatková, Alena ; Meulen, Marcus ; Horáček, Martin ; Gaži, Martin ; Furkert, Alf ; Kovařík, David ; Radostová, Šárka
The collection of studies on the history of post-war monument care is based on the international conference Monuments and monument care in Czechoslovakia and other Central European countries during the second half of the 20th century, which took place in the spring of 2021. Selected contributions by authors from the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Croatia or Hungary map the institutional development of monument care in the countries of the former Habsburg Monarchy, a significant part of which was located on the eastern side of the Iron Curtain. The book thus offers not only a valuable comparison of the various systems of monument care within Central Europe, but also unusual material on the history of post-war European totalitarianism.
