Citation
Description The final volume of the History of Brno is offered to art-historical monuments of the city centre and its surroundings in the form of topographic narratives. The intent of the entire bundle are three aspects of urban topologies: a) The emphasis is placed on today's existing structure of art-historical monuments in the city; they are interpreted in their changing function of patron’s intent, but equally in its current artistic form and content relevance; b) It is drawn the attention to the "enigma loci" that appears before the visitor by the looking on a specific remarkable building, historical or art historical detail; c) The existential importance of "place" in the space of the organism and town planning structure puts more emphasis than it is in earlier inventories and guides, particularly on content (iconographic and iconological) interpretation of artworks.
