The thesis titled Zbynek Hřivnáč and Interior Design of the 1950s to the 1970s attempts to map all the most important aspects of this discipline in the former Czechoslovakia and specifically to bring important design, interior, artistic and architectural projects in which it appears still lesser known name of architect and designer Zbynek Hřivnáč. On the evolution of exceptionally prolific architect and interior designer Zbynek Hřivnáč we demonstrate basic tendencies and historical facts that played in the design of interiors its essential role. Zbynek Hřivnáč here, however, does not act as a true art solitaire, but rather as a link of individual described projects that are mostly, with a few exceptions, has been involved in a large team of professionals including architects, engineers, designers, craftsmen and ultimately especially artists. Zbynek Hřivnáč here as a very important figure in the background of the great names of history of Czech architecture such as Karel Filsak, Jan Šrámek or Jan Bočan and some more. On each project, we will be able to know the different roles of this creator ranging from implementation through equal cooperation with their colleagues to studio work in large architectural ateliers. All this takes place against the background of stylish and historical development of...

Within the European Union, policies promoting integration and transnationalization have raised questions about the nature of borders and boundaries. With these shifts in conception emerge an opportunity to re-imagine how borders might be urbanized and developed. The Dreiländerecke (the Three Countries Corner between Switzerland, France, and Germany in Metrobasel) is one instance of this phenomenon, standing at the threshold of change towards increased transborder cooperation and a loosening of political boundaries. However, this process is hindered by residual urban barriers. This thesis investigates the liminal space of borders which provides a rich basis for forming a multi-scalar approach towards infrastructural, architectural, and programmatic strategies for cross-border development. Although connectivity is sought, it is not the ultimate aim, for unfettered integration risks a globalizing homogenization. Instead, this thesis investigates an architecture that facilitates the liminal process as core identities become translated at the meeting point of national cultures.
