Czech architecture in transformation periods (1945–1948,1989–1992)
Project goals
The project focuses on the state of architecture during transformation periods, examining the Czech architecture in 1945–1948 and 1989–1992. Realized (initiated) buildings and contemporary professional debate will be analyzed using the methodology of art history and sociological and transitological knowledge. The core of the project will be the juxtaposition of long-term utopian ideological concepts of Czech architecture of the 20th century and of the immediate rhetoric of transition. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of individual actors – architects, theorists and investors – in the unsteady institutional environment of the transition period.

Česká architektura v obdobích transformace (1945–1948, 1989–1992)
Annotation in Czech
Projekt se zaměřuje na kondici architektury v transformačních obdobích, a to na příkladu české architektury let 1945–1948 a 1989–1992. Realizované (iniciované) stavby a dobová odborná debata budou podrobeny analýze s využitím metodologických postupů dějin umění a poznatků sociologie a tranzitologie. Jádrem projektu bude konfrontace dlouhodobých utopicko-ideových konceptů české architektury 20. století a okamžité rétoriky přerodu. Důraz bude položen na význam individuálních aktérů – architektů, teoretiků a investorů – v neustáleném institucionálním prostředí období přerodu.
