Czech Sacred Architecture in the Period of Origins of the Autonomous Czechoslovakia
Obrtlík, Jan
The contribution deals with Czech sacral architecture in particular historical moment. Because of the slow movement in the architectural area in comparison to politics, a certain zone of immediate historical period is chosen, which corresponds to the speed of architectural evolution. The midpoint of this imaginary zone on the historical axis is the year 1918, the year of political establishment of independent Czechoslovakia. In the present work the church architecture and the architecture of related buildings is studied mostly from the viewpoint of reactions on the progressing society events. The results of the historical situation are researched in the area of the preference of architectural style of particular buildings, also in the context of the changes in confessional preferences and finally also in the area of interest in material expression of the faith generally. In the present contribution an answer is searched to the question, if architecture in the mentioned time span had a close contact to the spirit of the present time, therefore, whether it only reacted on it, or whether it also constituted it.
