The course will involve presentation of main stages of development of modern architecture in the Czech Lands in the context of the world production.
Students will have general knowledge of availability of particular achival documents usable for study of history of architecture and related scientific disciplines. They will be able to interpret iconographic, plan and text archives. They will have elementary knowledge of historiography and available literature and of location of important archival funds.
