Invalidovna in Prague
Turková, Kateřina ; Pučalík, Marek (advisor) ; Oulíková, Petra (referee)
This bachelor thesis "Invalidovna in Prague" focuses on the building of Invalidovna in Prague which was meant to be an imitation of Hôtel des Invalides in Paris. Invalidovna was situated far from Prague at the time of its construction. Today Karlín is a part of the inner Prague, however only few Prague inhabitants know or have visited Invalidovna. The importance of the building, to which has never been dedicated an extensive monograph, is obvious when we know, that for the realization was hired Kilian Ignac Dientzenhofer. This work tries to evaluate the building from the artistic perspective and also according to the context of the time. The first part of the paper concentrates on Špitálsko - presently Karlín, on which lands is Invalidovna built. The next part focuses on hospitals for retired soldiers in general. The aim is also to evaluate the Prague realization in the context of similar projects in Europe. The most extensive part of the work is devoted to the circumstances of construction which has never been implemented as planned, to its development and especially to the architectural description. The final part follows the history of Invalidovna and the transformation of its appearance and function to the present.
