Krušina, Jan ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with the architecture and history of the large area of today's Psychiatric Hospital in Bohnice, which was built in several stages between 1905-1925, considering the personality of architect Václav Roštlapil (1856-1930), who as a prominent figure participated in some representative buildings. The introduction focuses on the outset of a new field of psychiatry in the environment of the General Hospital in the New Town in Prague and especially the origin of a new typology in architecture, which then gradually spread to wider areas of Bohemia. The thesis clarifies the circumstances of the establishment of the Mental Health Hospital in Bohnice and is based on the study of archival materials, literature and tries to analyze the sources of its appearance, looking for sources of inspiration to put the Bohnice into historical context. In this thesis the hospital in Bohnice is seen as an exceptionally well-preserved example of this typology not only in the scale of individual buildings, but especially in the scale of the entire urban arrangement with the unmistakable Genius Loci. Keywords Architecture, turn of 19th and 20th century, art noveau, historicism, mental health hospitals, Václav Roštlapil, Mental Health Hospital Bohnice
