Abstract

The theme of this bachelor´s thesis is socialist realism architecture in towns of northern Moravia. It begins with the focus on basic features of the 20th century architecture up until socialist realism. The next part describes the development of Havířov, Karviná and Ostrava – Poruba cities that were built during the period of socialist realism. Due to big boom in mining business all three cities were purposely built based on this style. Havířov and Ostrava – Poruba’s architecture are clearly built in socialist realism style whereas Karvina was less influenced. In conclusion, there are interesting buildings which are photographically documented together with the proposed route, which is shown in form of walking path.
