Interpretation of the historical development of a garden art structure: The Žižkovy Sady municipal park in Hradec Králové
The historic urban park of Žižkovy Sady in Hradec Králové was founded between 1904 and 1906 based on a design by landscape architect František Thomayer, a leading personality in Czech gardening art. Through an analysis of archival sources, and based on findings from field research, the historical development of the park was interpreted. Emphasis was placed on the oldest history of the building (first quarter of the 20th century). Žižkovy Sady was evaluated in relation to the level of preservation of its historical composition. Attention was focused on the importance of the structure in the history of the development of the public urban park.
