Course content
Students taking the state exam will prepare a written topic in advance, which must be approved by one of the KDA teachers. One of the teachers will also be the main consultant for the thesis (each teacher will be the main consultant for a quarter of the candidates for the state exam in a given semester). We recommend that the topic of the thesis be related to the topic of the bachelor's project. For example, it is possible to write about the history of a given type of building, focus on the thinking and work of a single architect, or buildings that follow similar formal or material solutions, etc. The state exam will take the form of a discussion of the submitted text. The student will present the topic in 5 minutes, followed by a discussion (15 minutes). Length: 6-8 standard pages (1800 characters including spaces = NS). The formal layout, including footnotes (required), will be according to the standards of the journal Umění (the standards can be found online). Spelling mistakes may be grounds for non-admission to the final state examination. Submission no later than two weeks before the defense electronically to the relevant KDA teachers (Eva Bendová, Ondřej Hojda, Kamil Nábělek, Filip Šenk).
