| Description | The presentation will focus on the architecture of historicism in 19th century and beginning of 20th century. Especially it will zoom in the plurality of architectonical styles of this period. It seems clear that in Czech and Moravian towns most of buildings of this period are built in style of classicising Italianising Renaissance, but there are also buildings in other styles. Crucial part of this contribution will deal with comparison of buildings of the same type (villas, churches and national houses), but one built in the Italianising neo-renaissance, the other in one of the transalpine styles. Differences on facades will be clear, but question is, if only facade and decoration are places where style was manifested or if it had impact on the arrangement of space and mass of building. Important is also a question what led architects and builders to choose concrete style, because it looks evident, that in the case of important buildings choosing of style was not only question of taste and fashion, but was conditioned by symbolical and representative reasons. |
