The point of the work is to deepen the knowledge of historical kitchens, important but yet not fully appreciated technical monuments, by the light of their functional and structural aspects. The project is aimed on research, documentation and analysis of medieval and early modern kitchen structures in their spatial and constructional aspects on the sample included in the proponent´s thesis "Kitchens in middle Ages and Early modern period". For further documentation in the project will be chosen such kitchens, that are very well preserved or have well preserved some typical or on the contrary uncommon constructional aspect. For selected kitchens existing documentation will be considered. New means of documentation will be chosen according to the type and quality of preserved situation. We suppose geodetical measure (total station), digital 3D model created on the basis of laser scanning (point cloud) and digital textured 3D model created by photogrammetry using digital photography. For at least one chosen situation all methods will be applied to enable a comparison. The output should comprise description, documentation and spatial and constructional analysis of chosen kitchens that will make part of passports of the monuments in question, analysis of their historical development, and will be used in publication of the results of the work (proponents thesis, and some other membres of the team, specialized articles concerning individual objects and the whole together).

Aim of the project is to realize a research and documentation of last examples of traditional timber frame buildings (residential and farm ones) in peripheral, middle-east-European area of upper-Tisa-basin, i. e. border region of today's Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary. Realization of the project requires a research equipment, dendrochronological calibration, photogrammetric processing, copying of archives, conference charges and traveling expenses while field survey in Ukraine and Romania, where a regular exchange program for students is not supported currently.

The aim of the project is creating a model documentation and comparaison of the eldest preserved historical heaters and their inner (functionnal) structures with an accent on comparation with younger heaters from the rural social range and with technological facilities focusing on widening knowledge about vanished medieval and early modern heaters.

In the 20th the 19th century had been the border area Austro-Hungarian monarchy (in the present Romania) colonized by Czech settlers. They settled in the region called Banat, where they founded several villages. Due to the location of these settlements and villages in the middle of deep forests in the southwestern end of the Carpathian massif, which caused significant separation from the surrounding civilization, the people of the Czech villages to this day preserve their culture, language, customs, traditional farming practices in the landscape and vernacular architecture technologies. The whole area, which includes 6 Czech villages (Eibentál, Bígr, Gerník, Rovensko, Svatá Helena and Šumice), was still some exceptions (several ethnographic expeditions in the 60s) outside the interest of Czech building-historians and monument-experts. How however discovered expeditions of students of the Institute of monument conservation of FA CTU, which took place in 2012 and 2013, in the villages are concerned hardly believable architectural values. First of all, there is the possibility of study of a traditional form of architecture that came out 180 years ago from Czech cultural and historical enviroment, but was isolated, respectively in later years under the influence of the Romanian environment. Directly Thus, implementation of historical research of extremely interesting buildings. So far, none of the researchers have not given urban development of the Czech villages - this deficiency, we would like to correct. Another big topic, which is primarily related with that incredible spatial and functional continuity of the area, is the cultural landscape, where we can get to interface with many other disciplines (history of settlemens, historical geography, botany, etc.). The aim of our research is a comprehensive knowledge of settlement components of the Czech villages in Banat, through the building culture, formation of settlements and historical landscape management.

The research will be concentrated in the study of consequences of social increase or fall of the owners of the objects, followed in their building activity in various periods. These consequences will be observed from building projects and their tracks that could be read from single buildings. The tracks are often very subtle, but their informative value is much bigger and it has never been dealt with or taken in consideration before. The prevailing methodical instrument will be an applied and extended historical research of their construction and generalization of the results used in the research of predicted objects and their subsequent critical and historical analysis. One of the aims of the project will also be in tracing and identifying common display with general application of validity that could be followed across different historical periods. The form of output of the project will be in publication of individual case studies (in professional papers, in presentations at conferen
