Course contents

Hradec Králové is an excellent example of planned urban development of a Medieval fortified town into a modern 20th century. Fundamental changes took place at the end of the 19th cnetury and the beginnin of the 20th century after the destruction of the fortification and demolishing of the city castle through the creation of a regulating plan. Under the influence of J. Kotěra and J. Gočár further subsequent conceptual development occured which is evident in much of the quality architectural constructions.

Lectures on the Hradec Kralove models explain these situations. In a walk about the city, comments on the most important buildings and explanations of the many manners of their photographing. Based on this knowledge students independently photography a selected construction.
