Analysis of structural and proportional criteria of Romanesque and Pre-Romanesque rotundas.
Kříž, Pavel ; Kalousek, Lubor (referee) ; Unger,, Josef (referee) ; Vlček, Milan (advisor)
Topic of this dissertation thesis follows previous dissertations dealing with reconstructions of historical buildings that were successfully defended at Institute of Building Structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology. The thesis deals with Romanesque and Pre-Romanesque round churches, called rotundas, that were built between 9th and 13th century in the historical territory of Great Moravia. Churches of similar shape can be also found in surrounding countries, but only scarcely. By the time of origin these rotundas were among the oldest masonry buildings built within borders of contemporary Czech Republic. Later some rotundas were destroyed and are known only thanks to the archaeological findings or written records. Some are still waiting to be discovered. Surviving rotundas are the oldest masonry buildings in Czech Republic, therefore it can be said that they belong to the most valuable historical buildings in the country. Preserved rotundas were often modified or rebuild in some way. Thanks to their age, origins of many of these buildings are shrouded in a mystery, which is one of the reasons why they attract attention of many researchers – archaeologists, historians and art historians. Many questions arise from their research. These questions have interdisciplinary character and finding the answers requires cooperation of specialists in different fields. One of these fields is building engineering. This dissertation thesis deals with proportional and structural analysis of Pre-Romanesque and Romanesque rotundas. For the proportional analysis author focused on verifying of some of the hypotheses of other researchers connected to the Romanesque rotundas. These include hypothesis dealing with use of historical units for the design of rotundas, hypothetical use of proportional canon, or some universal sets of proportional ratios of vertical and horizontal dimensions. The proportional analysis also helped with verification of some hypothe

VACKOVÁ, Terezie
The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis concerns romanesque architecture in christian Europe, mainly that on the territory of the Czech Republic. Further, this thesis introduces the church of st. Peter and Paul in Hosín, which hides a small romanesque church with gothic wall paintings inside, the church of st. Jacob in Jakub near Kutná Hora, which is known for it's unique relief decoration at the south frontage and the rotund of st. George and Adalbert on mount Říp. The second part of the theoretical thesis centers on worksheets. It mainly focuses on their importance in art education and on the form of functional worksheets. The practical part of the thesis consists of the creation of worksheets suitable for second grade of primary school on the topic of romanesque architecture and the church of st.

Truncová, Markéta ; Royt, Jan (advisor) ; Jarošová, Markéta (referee)
1 Abstract The topic of my bachelor thesis is the medieval St. John the Baptist church in Hostivař, Prague. A precious relict has been recently uncovered in its apse in form of paintings from the second half of 13th century, namely the Majestas Domini composition. My thesis forms a summary of existing findings concerning the church, creating a comprehensive document about the building which has not yet been written. Keywords Middle ages, medieval architecture, romanesque architecture, mural paintings, Hostivař, St. John the Baptist, Last Judgement

St. Prokop's Church at Záboří nad Labem
Vaníček, Michal ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Žižka, Jan (referee)
6 Abstract The Church of St. Prokop at Záboří nad Labem is one of the most important and also the most remarkable mediaeval religious monuments in the Czech Republic. What is exceptional above all is the type of church, i.e. a Romanesque chapel, another example of which cannot be found in its form in our country. Equally important is the extremely high- quality sculptural decoration of the church portal, with a level of execution achieved by European standards, and which is also set in an originally open Romanesque hall, also unmatched in our country. Since the first professional research undertaken by Jan Erazim Wocel more than one hundred seventy years ago, numerous studies and articles have been written, that each successive generation of historians and art historians has enriched by a variety of hypotheses and propositions about the origin of the church and its artistic programme. A number of inaccuracies and assumptions that succeeded refute the systematic processing of written historical sources and building-historical sources, which were managed to be obtained during the repair of the church in the first decade of this century. Nonetheless there still remain a number of open questions which we are not able to answer. The Romanesque church at Záboří nad Labem was built probably around the year 1142,...
