Preserved monastery gardens in Lesser Town of Prague
 Pulcová, Veronika ; Altová, Blanka (advisor) ; Pešek, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this thesis is a description of the current state and a retrospective view of the history of the preserved monastery gardens in the context of the urban development of the Lesser Town. Specifically, these are the gardens that have survived at the Grand Priory of the Knights of Malta at the Church of Our Lady under the Chain, the garden of the Oblate Augustinians at the Church of St. Thomas, the garden of the Dominicans (formerly Magdalenites) at the former Church of St. Mary Magdalene, the garden of the Barefoot Carmelites at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the Theatines (Cajetans) at the Church of Our Lady of Consolation, the Jesuit garden at the Church of St. Nicholas, the garden of the Convent of the English Maidens at the Church of St. Joseph (Vojanovy sady) and the garden of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Borromeo under Petrin. I describe the current state of the individual gardens and retrospectively trace their historical transformations in an urban context.

Plans and Projects for the Lesser Town Bank in the first half of the 20th Century
 Huml, Václav ; Biegel, Richard (advisor) ; Macek, Petr (referee)
This thesis describes architectural and urban projects - both realized and unrealized - for the Lesser Town bank in the period from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the World War Two. The primary point of our work is the description and the analysis of the projects, not theoretical interpretation. The reader is thus able to follow the differnet attituteds of the architects and find out how much they incorporated their projects into the historical character of the Lesser Town, which is one of the oldest and the most magnificent urban area in the world. In its streets, buildings and the beauty of detail are displayed talent and skills of home and foreing craftsmen and artists, who had always succeeded in identifying themselves with the historical character of this part of the city at the foot of Prague Castle. The Lesser Town has preserved its medieval character in every historical epoch. Nevertheless each of them has imprinted its marks on this part of the city and neither our period is the exception.
