Patroni, klienti, příbuzní. Sociální svět Starého Města pražského ve 14. století / Patrons, Clients, and Relatives: The Social World of the Old Town Prague in the 14th CenturyMusílek, Martin January 2014 (has links)
The present work focuses on the analysis of two main sources: the court book with market entries (Libri judiciorum or Libri contractuum), and lists of new city residents from the years 1324-1393. The text is divided into several chapters. Besides the description and presentation of the two main types of sources, a critical examination of the basic literature is undertaken, and the methodology of social topography is introduced. An outline of spatial mobility was created, including a basic topographical image of the city and its variations, though an examination of the Old Town real estate markets (especially houses and rural estates). Attention was given to the topographic situation of the Jewish Town, which formed an important part of the medieval urban complex, with coexistence of Christians and Jews within the city. Some aspects of urban migration could be observed, though analysis of the list of new city residents. This is generally regarded not only as an indicator of economic development of the city, but also allows one to monitor the demographic crisis of urban society. Given that a lender had to vouch for each new city resident, lists of new arrivals to the ranks of city burghers also suggest connections and relationships between people. In rare cases, it is possible to link data from the judicial...

Archeozoologie Klementina v Praze / Archaeozoology of Klementinum in PragueBurian, Martin January 2016 (has links)
Diploma thesis Archaeozoology Klementinum in Prague studies the archaeozoological remains from the Klementinum in Prague dated between the late 11th and 15th century. The work is divided into two parts - the theoretical and the empirical part. The theoretical part focuses on the economic background of the medieval city and nutrition of its inhabitants. Other chapters focus on the historical context of Klementinum and characteristics of the archaeological research, which took place on its territory in 2012 - 2014. The research consists of material and methods and subsequent evaluation of the obtained data, which are discussed and compared with literature. The aim of this diploma thesis is to bring interpretation of human diet of people whom lived at the site of today's Klementinum in Prague, in different time periods (from the beginning of the peak to the late Middle Ages) through the analysis of animal bones. In conclusion this diploma thesis found the economic base of the territory and which animals have been consumed on the site. In different periods was observed increasing richness of species for documented animals. Also there was discussed the impact of arrival of the Dominican convent on the breding economy after a year 1232nd.

Měšťanské domy Starého Města pražského ve světle vizitačního protokolu tereziánského katastru / Burgher houses in Prague's Old Town in the light of the inspection protocol of the Theresian CadastreVobrátilková, Hana January 2012 (has links)
Měšťanské domy Starého Města pražského ve světle vizitačního protokolu tereziánského katastru. Abstrakt Vývoj staroměstské domovní zástavby během barokní epochy bývá nejčastěji posuzován z uměleckohistorického hlediska. V této práci je na domy Starého Města pražského pohlíženo optikou berních pramenů hromadné povahy. Výchozí časový mezník představuje rok 1653, kdy se v pražských městech započalo se sestavováním prvního českého katastru - berní ruly. Komparací údajů berní ruly a vizitačního protokolu tereziánského katastru z let 1725-1726 jsem se pokusila odpovědět na otázku, jaké byly vývojové trendy v domovním majetku staroměstských měšťanů. Písemný výsledek vizitace tereziánského katastru představuje mimořádný pramen, který eviduje řadu podstatných údajů pro dějiny staroměstských domů. Srovnání s berní rulou je v tomto případě omezené výpovědní hodnotou staršího katastru, který nepřináší tolik podrobných informací jako vizitační protokol. Analýzu bylo možné provést jen v těch indikátorech, které se týkají počtu, skladby a daňového zatížení domů. Výrazné změny v počtu staroměstských domů sice berní prameny v letech 1653-1726 neprokazují, zaznamenávají ale odlišnou situaci v samotné skladbě domů. Za hlavní tendence, které se projevily ve vývoji domovní zástavby Starého Města pražského, lze označit zvýšení...

Soil reinforcement with geopolymer : A FEM study in the Old Town subway track adjacent to Söderströmsbron / Jordförstärkning med geopolymer : En FEM - studie i Gamla Stans tunnelbanespår i anslutning till SöderströmsbronMikha, Alexandra, Radouani, Gina January 2020 (has links)
Söderströmsbron is the bridge that leads the subway between Slussen and Gamla Stan in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. It is one of the busiest routes in the entire SL traffic system. According to surveys, the ground behind one of the retaining walls in Gamla Stan has shown settlements and movements that have required Trafikförvaltning to annually fill up with 1m3 of macadam.To avoid disturbing the traffic in the area, an interference-free reinforcement method has been requested. A proposal to stabilize the soil is by injecting geopolymer, which is a two- component solution that protects against erosion and equalize ground levels. Geopolymer consist of two liquid substances, that expand in the combination with each other, forming an impervious barrier to water.This report addresses a finite element analysis in the Plaxis 2D program for the affected soil behind the support with geopolymer to determine if the reinforcement method can be applied as a long-term solution.The results from FE analyzes show that the injection of geopolymer is a more long-term solution for reduced settlements in the soil, but also for the movements of the structures. / Söderströmsbron leder tunnelbanan mellan Slussen och Gamla Stan i Stockholm. Det är en av de mest trafikerade sträckorna i hela SL:s trafiksystem. Jorden bakom landfästet i Gamla Stan har enligt undersökningar påvisat sättningar och rörelser vilket medfört att Trafikförvaltningen årligen behövt fylla på med 1m3 makadamballast.För att undvika att förhindra trafiken i området har en störningsfri förstärkningsmetod efterfrågats. Ett förslag för att stabilisera marken är injektering av geopolymer, en tvåkomponent-lösning som skyddar mot erosion och utjämnar marknivåer. Geopolymer består av två flytande ämnen som i kontakt med varandra expanderar och bildar en ogenomtränglig barriär mot vatten.Denna rapport behandlar en finita element-analys i programmet Plaxis 2D beträffande den drabbade jorden bakom stödet samt en förstärkning med geopolymer för att avgöra om förstärkningsmetoden kan tillämpas som en långsiktig lösning.Resultatet från FE-analysen visar att injektering av geopolymer är en mer långsiktig lösning för minskade sättningar i jorden, men även för konstruktionernas rörelser.

City scoopMolodij, Anna January 2020 (has links)
This project is speculation in search of possibilities and rethinking the potential of Gamla Stan. Society is continually changing, as are the cities that we live in. The old town is mainly a residential area, but also a “living, pedestrian-friendly museum”. This is a place out of time and frozen in its form, a certain sensitivity is required when thinking about such a fragile context. However, the urban structure is not a fixed entity, but a dynamic and evolving one. By gentle carving in the existing city fabric, the aim is to re-introduce a workshop space in a contemporary manner. The idea is tested on the block of Cassiopea, where its building components get interconnected to make a continuous interior. The new space is about forgetting about the hyper-productivity mindset, with an intention to promote aesthetic pleasure and a slow pace of life. This collective and multifunctional space is a representation of artistic expression, a city atelier for making craft using technology. A space for artists, makers, and education, visible to the public.

Urban alleyways: a potential open space assetBrightwell, Kim M. January 1986 (has links)
This study set out with the premise that many urban alleys have the potential to become city open space assets. The project was designed to develop a process by which alley characteristics may be evaluated for their effect on alley open space potential.
The alleys of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia were the inspiration for this study. Old Town is an 18th century city which was established as a settlement on the Potomac River in 1749. For nearly 100 years it flourished as a seaport town. As the town grew, property owners created alleys through the blocks providing rear access to their homes and businesses. The alleys bustled with activity, and became a circulation subsystem to the street and sidewalk circulation.
This paper follows the process used to discover alley open space potential in Old Town. However, it is not the findings for Old Town that are most important. It is the process which is the true result of this study. This process can be used as a model by any city or town where there is a desire to better use alley spaces. The four tasks which were found to be important in discovering this open space potential are outlined below.
Task One: Evolution of Alley Spaces The purpose of this task is to understand the part the alleys play in the city's circulation system. To know the history of their development and the way they have been used in the past is to learn what makes them important and distinct from other circulation systems in the city.
Task Two: Evaluate the Alley Paths
The elements that create the"floor, ceiling, and walls" of the alley paths are defined and evaluated for their potentially positive or negative impact on the alley as it is refurbished for pedestrian open space use.
Task Three: Alley Potential Use
Task three looks at the way different land uses use their alleys. Knowing present alley use allows the development of an alley typology from which decisions concerning potential use can be made.
Task Four: Design Proposals
Finally, the first three tasks are brought together in the form of design proposals. The proposals become a pallet with which to refurbish the alleys in a way that is sensitive to their history, their character, and their particular open space potential.
The project teaches that all urban alleyways are not the same. Each has its own story, and its own particular combination of characteristics. In knowing the alleys as individual, their design as viable open spaces becomes more imaginative. / Master of Landscape Architecture

The water's edge: a point of termination, a point of continuation, a point of generationRickard-Brideau, Carolyn January 1989 (has links)
The design of a mixed-use market, three axes of influence was studied on a site at the end of King Street in Alexandria, VA.
A semicircular form was developed that terminated the main circulation axis down King Street, continued the free form edge of the Potomac, and acted as a visual beginning to the "new world" of Washington, DC across the river.
While the marketplace still remains as an enduring and appealing image of the city, it has diminished in recent years. Climate controlled indoor malls and shopping centers sprawl across the . country, and many of the real marketplaces have fallen into disrepair, physically and symbolically losing their traditional role as a forum for the people.
There has, however, been a resurgence of interest in the markets in the past decade. As people grow tired of impersonal service, the poor quality of goods and produce, and the often nondescript atmosphere, many of the older markets are being re-inhabited by farmers, artists and others seeking to sell their products. Around many urban centers, people are rediscovering the simple premise of the market which serves as a canvas for the explosion of colors, sights, sounds and smells it contains. / Master of Architecture

A food market in Alexandria VirginiaReed, Susan Elizabeth January 1986 (has links)
The prosperity of the human species is based upon the existence of communal behavior. Some individuals provide food, while others are freed from the search for food to do other things: to chip flint arrowheads, to make pottery, to write symphonies. In large cities, individuals may be vaguely conscious of their larger social community, but often they recognize few of the faces of the other individuals who belong to the same large community. In an urban setting, the social behavior of individuals is defined by the built environment. The built environment has a responsibility to encourage the formation of communities of individuals, as well as to recognize and strengthen the wider community of mankind, in order that the species may flourish and prosper.
A Food Market for Alexandria is a proposition for a place in Old Town Alexandria Virginia, where the growth of responsible communities may occur in an architectural setting which is a responsive member of the collection of buildings that house the human city. / Master of Architecture

Spirit of place: designing within the historic context of Alexandria, VirginiaUnglesbee, Michael J. January 1991 (has links)
The investigation of the Spirit of a historic place, Alexandria, Virginia to acquire an understanding of it’s identity; the unique patterns, language, structure, rhythm, and character, which has led to its development as a meaningful place.
To respect the Spirit of this place through the design of a place to dwell within Alexandria which is sensitive to, and evolves from, this living tradition.
An architecture which achieves meaning through its relation to, and reinterpretation, transformation, and revelation of the inherent qualities of the historic artifact. / Master of Architecture
