Průmyslové proměny Ostravy ve vybraných lokalitách

Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on the transformations of selected industrial structures in Ostrava. The buildings presented were selected from across the whole spectrum of industrial structures and the main selection criterion was that the original structure is at least partially preserved. My work deals with the transformations of eight buildings over the course of time. The text describing these buildings is accompanied with photographic documentation which depicts these transformations using historical and present-day photographs. My thesis also offers a brief history of the city of Ostrava as well as a brief description of its technological and industrial development. The thesis also contains my proposal for a specialist excursion of selected localities which are described in more detail. This specialist excursion was designed for students of VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava. The individual places and buildings which students might visit as part of this excursion are described in the chapter entitled Specialist Excursion and they include seven industrial sites and one museum. This excursion might take place within the course Technical Monuments and Cultural Heritage which is part of the students’ curriculum during their study at VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava.
