Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the history of architecture in the period 1850-1918 in Moravia and former Austrian Silesia. The lecture will not be conceived strictly chronologically, but typologically. In the period under review, there was a great building boom, especially in cities, and a commodification of the whole society, lifestyle and thus architecture, which had to respond to new stimuli. This leads to the formation of completely new types of buildings or to a significant modernisation of traditional types. The interpretation will therefore focus on  individual typological categories.  Examples from different sites and their creators will be discussed.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to identify, analyse and interpret Moravian architecture of the second half of the 19th century.
