Brůhová, Klára ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
The thesis (Re)Production of the Canon in the 20th Century Architectural Historiography: Critical Analysis deals with the topic of the architectural canon and especially on a critical reflection on the principles of its formation. The thesis presents the theoretical background and argumentation appearing in both foreign and czech texts (published from the second wave of feminism to the present) that view the architectural canon and the interpretation of architectural history critically - primarily through the cathegory of gender. The analytical part of the thesis focuses on a quantitative and qualitative content analysis of syllabi for survey courses on the history of architecture taught at Czech universities, with the aim of answering the research question: How is the history of 20th century architecture taught at universities in the Czech Republic - and to what extent is it a history that takes into account the creative contribution of women? Key words History of architecture, gender, feminism, canon, 20th century architecture, women architects, education

Pučerová, Marie ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Bendová, Eva (referee)
The author of diploma thesis will compile an art-historical monography of an architecture of the first half of the 20th century in town called Slaný.

This part of the thesis should result in defining the overall architectural characteristics of the town and identifying those that could positively and negatively determine the entry of modern architecture into the historical environment. The core part of the thesis will be devoted to the analysis and interpretation of selected buildings from the period between 1900 and 1950.

Pučerová, Klára ; Švácha, Rostislav (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee) ; Vorlík, Petr (referee)
The work of Antonin Tenzer involves his activities in the period of six decades in the turbulent era of development of Czechoslovak history of architecture. The architect is known as one of the representatives of the avant-garde and High functionalism, author of Faculty Hospital in Prague-Motol and other medical buildings or the Jalta hotel, a building associated with socialist realism. In my dissertation, I tried to map the main typological fields that Antonín Tenzer used in his work. My goal was to widen the portfolio of famous buildings, and on the basis I defined the architect's major themes and current issues, which were responded in his effort. I based primarily on historic materials - published projects, plan documentation and writings of public and private archives, as well as personal heritage, made available to me by the architect's family. In particular thematic areas I focused on Tenzer's vital and successful implementation of competition projects, which he later followed and extended. In addition to impulses from his collaborators, debates and majors works of those days I was looking for elements and methods of Tenzer that influenced the architecture environment. I observed the influence of historical events and the socio-political situation in his work, for example, housing issues in...

Brutalist architecture of the 20th century and its didactic avail
Křížová, Eliška ; Županič, Jan (advisor) ; Dvořáková, Michaela (referee)
The thesis focuses on the icons of the czech brutalism who are nowadays often a subject of discussion. It aims to provide coherent outlook to the reader, not just a technical description of the building but more so the process of its construction from the idea on the paper to the its final state. It observes how the views have been transformed and the perspective of the public, which is oftentimes dimmed by the stigma of the era in which these buildings were created. The goal of this thesis is to extend the knowledge about qualities of the brutalist architecture among younger generation so they could make better judgement of what will happen to these buildings in the future. For this purpose there is a didactic elaboration that will introduce brutalism to the high school students. KEYWORDS architecture, 20th century architecture, brutalism, architecture in education
