Czech High Gothic in Models: Unveiling Medieval Architecture from the Charles IV Era

This exhibition showcases physical models of unique medieval buildings, focusing on constructions initiated by Charles IV. The models, created by experts and students from the Czech Technical University's Faculty of Civil Engineering, represent both existing and unrealized structures from the High Gothic period.

The 'Czech High Gothic in Models' exhibition, located within the 'Medieval Construction Machines' display, is the culmination of extensive work by specialists and students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Czech Technical University (CTU). The selection focuses on medieval buildings whose construction was initiated by Charles IV. Visitors can view physical models of unique medieval structures, including those that are still standing (albeit often rebuilt), as well as those that have not survived or were never realized. The models featured in the exhibition were meticulously crafted by teachers and students enrolled in the 'Architectural Models' elective course at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, CTU in Prague. These detailed representations include structures such as the completed Church of Our Lady of the Snows in Prague, the Chapel of Corpus Christi at the Cattle Market, and the Cistercian monastery and Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Zbraslav, among others. The exhibition is held under the auspices of the Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at CTU in Prague, Prof. Ing. Jiří Máca, CSc.
