Prehistoric times and Ancient times (dividing of Prehistoric and Ancient periods - space-time relations, constructions in Paleolithic and Mesolithic, construction activities in Neolithic and early periods of Prehistoric in Egypt, development in early periods of Mesopotamia and Egypt), Ancient Periods (pre-Greek Ancient Periods: Cycladic culture, Minoan culture, Troyan culture radius, Helladic culture, Greek Ancient Period: building materials and structures, the building code, construction types, settlements; Roman Ancient Period: building materials and constructions, building codes, construction types, settlements).

In specific lectures we pay attention to buildings in Czech Republic. Early Christian sacred architecture in the Mediterranean (church, grave), pre-Romanesque (Merovingian, Carolingian, Ottonian renaissance), Romanesque, Gothic.

Building types are evaluated according to construction technologies, development of the layout and art and style manifestations.
