Publikacja jest owocem spotkania ekspertów krajów Grupy
Wyszegradzkiej, Czech, Polski, Słowacji i Węgier w czerwcu
2010 roku na temat ochrony i zarządzania dziedzictwem
kulturowym.
Procesy transformacji zachodzące w Europie Środkowej
w istotny sposób zmieniły nasz stosunek do dziedzictwa
kulturowego i wymusiły nowe podejście do jego ochrony.
Klasyczne pojęcie zabytku zastąpione zostało szerszym pojęciem dziedzictwa. Zmiana krajobrazu kulturowego w procesie globalizacji i transformacji spowodowała konieczność
zmiany systemu ochrony dziedzictwa kulturowego. Eksperci przedstawiają swoje spostrzeżenia i sugestie co do rozwiązań systemowych w tym zakresie dzisiaj i w przyszłości.
Książka zawiera obszerny materiał ilustracyjny.

Transformation of the Heritage Preservation System in the Czech Republic…

valuable movable equipment were smuggled abroad and sold. �e
situation improved too late with the introduction of a special law
against illicit traffic in 1995, and the instalment of signalisation systems into the churches, all of which was financed by the state. �e
work of police has improved since the late 1990s as well. All the same,
the already incurred losses in the movable part of national heritage
are irreversible.
A big problem of a global character is the investment pressure.
In big cities the houses situated in their historical cores are mostly
overburdened by their new utilisation. �is trend results in so called
“façadism” and a number of demolitions aiming to free the building
lots for bigger new constructions. �e town planning integrity and
skyline of Prague and a couple of other economically important cities is currently jeopardised by the erected and planned high-rises.
Unfortunately, only a very scarce proportion of the recently constructed buildings contribute quality architecture to their surroundings.
�e reason for these unsatisfactory trends is an imbalance in
strong contemporary liberalism in development, which is not counterbalanced by a similarly strong protective legislation as well as efficiently working state and municipal authorities. On the other hand,
the rebirth and involvement of civic organisations in environmental
ma�ers is gradually growing and this gives the Czech heritage hope
for a be�er future.

as contextual contemporary work that enriches Prague’s architecture. Unfortunately,
this is an extremely rare case of its kind at present. Photo by Dino Quinzani,
