The Public Servants’Colony in Dejvice, Prague, and the New Ideal of Urban Morphology. Anomaly or Paradigmatic Change?, Umění 63, 2015, 363-383. (original) (raw)

This study investigates the Public Servants' Colony in Dejvice, Prague, designed during the early 20th century amidst significant architectural evolution. By examining previously overlooked contributions, it argues for a reinterpretation of architect Jože Plečnik's role and the broader context of modernist urban planning in Czechoslovakia. The research analyzes the unique characteristics of the residential group and its design, contending that it exemplifies a blend of functionalism and artistic ambition, thereby contributing to the discourse on social housing and architectural identity.
