Umění ve veřejném prostoru

The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of the relationship between the art and the space in which it is situated. It analyses important aspects for the creation of the artwork, the concept of placement, the legislative process and economic support. It highlights the important role of public space itself, its function and quality conditions. From a historical point of view, it analyses evolution and transformation of the functions of the art in the public space, as well as the modification of legislative norms, which it compares with the current state. The work evaluates the relationship between the art and the space within three specific areas - the historical core of Prague 1, the housing complex Prosek in Prague 9 and the natural park Stromovka in Prague 7. It evaluates their current state with their positives and negatives and suggests possible solutions. Each of these territories requires an individual approach and a different spatial solution – so this thesis can become an inspirational material for individual city districts or Prague City Hall.
