In 1934, shortly after the death of Kamil Hilbert, who had been in charge of the completion of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, work on the royal tomb in the cathedral\u2019s crypt was entrusted to the architect Kamil Ro\u0161kot. Ro\u0161kot took an original, modern approach to this task, creating an intimate yet monumental space that perfectly complemented Josip Ple\u010dnik\u2019s grand renovations at Prague Castle in the cathedral\u2019s immediate vicinity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ple\u010dnik viewed the first months in the newly established Czechoslovak Republic with a significant dose of skepticism. \u201cDomestic developments do not promise much\u2026 If we must drink the cup of bitterness down to the dregs, then let us not be afraid of the last drop,\u201d he wrote to his close friend Jan Kot\u011bra on 1 January 1920, reflecting on the secularization of society and the radical turn away from the prewar situation, one outcome of which had been fierce public criticism of Kot\u011bra and his peers.[1]<\/a> It was clear that the \u201catmosphere of religiosity, the fervent Catholic enthusiasm for gloomy chapels and dark niches, and the devotion to mysticism and the typographical beauty of Latin\u201d[2]<\/a> in which Ple\u010dnik\u2019s students had been raised was now being replaced by a new spirit, an adoration of American mechanical civilization, German New Objectivity, and the French and Soviet avant-garde. Sepulchral architecture and other monumental themes, which had previously dominated Ple\u010dnik\u2019s teaching, were diminishing in importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The era\u2019s new spirit similarly dominated Kot\u011bra\u2019s School of Architecture, which was located on the top floor of his villa in Prague-Vinohrady in the immediate vicinity of Ple\u010dnik\u2019s home. The school\u2019s drafting tables were now occupied by a generation of students who for the most part were burdened by bitter wartime experiences and who were drawn to the idea of the house as a machine for living, to standardization, constructivism, and the new urbanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One student differed from the others, however, \u201cA philosopher has joined us,\u201d Kot\u011bra is said to have proclaimed in introducing the new student Kamil Ro\u0161kot (1886\u20131945). Ro\u0161kot was different in almost every way: in age, outlook, and family background. He was nearly a decade older than his classmates, and he hailed from the respected family of the notary Anton\u00edn Ro\u0161kot in Vla\u0161im, who was also an excellent draftsman. Kamil Ro\u0161kot had a bachelor\u2019s degree in architecture from the German technical school, had taken courses in philosophy at Charles University, and had attended private painting lessons given by Max \u0160vabinsk\u00fd. He spoke six languages, including classical Greek. And he had spent nearly the entire war on the Russian front. His mother Alexandra was the sister of the later president Emil H\u00e1cha, who under the old regime had been a member of the Royal and Imperial Supreme Administrate Court in Vienna, where Ro\u0161kot often visited his uncle before the war. Ro\u0161kot had also traveled in England, the Netherlands, Italy, and northern Africa. Thanks to these experiences, he immediately became a natural authority among his younger classmates and their unofficial spokesman. He graduated from the academy in 1922 \u2013 at age 36! \u2013 and just two years later was made a member of the prominent M\u00e1nes Association of Fine Artists. In 1928, he headed the newly founded Association of Academic Architects, an organization of architects who had graduated from art academies, and he remained in this function until his death.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, however, he could rightfully hold this office thanks to his body of work, in which he had managed to recast the traditional principles of architecture into a succinct, modern visual language characterized by a mastery of composition, a sense for the monumental, and a sensitive gradation of scale that produced buildings which resonated with their urban context. At the competition for a National Gallery on Prague\u2019s Kampa Island in the fall of 1923, he won third place with a serene, elongated horizontal design that acted as a kind of pedestal for the panorama of Hrad\u010dany. Ro\u0161kot\u2019s plans so impressed the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde that he sought him out at his studio and praised his talent in La Cit\u00e9<\/em> magazine.[4]<\/a> Ro\u0161kot subsequently won awards in competitions for the Liberation Monument in Prague-\u017di\u017ekov and a building for the Accident Insurance Company, a cash prize in the competition for Jir\u00e1sek Bridge, third place in the competition for a parliament building on Letn\u00e1 Plain (1928), and first place in a site design competition for the new parliament building (1929), which he placed in the St. Peter\u2019s Quarter. He also enjoyed success in a prestigious international competition for the Columbus Lighthouse in Santo Domingo (1928). In the 1930s, Ro\u0161kot produced a number of important designs (sanatoria in Slovakia, Prague-Ruzyn\u011b airport, a theater in Tehran, a market hall in Prague-Maniny, a second building for Legiobanka), but his grand visions failed to win over the potential clients, and so they remained only on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kamil Ro\u0161kot was far removed from the communist tendencies of the Left Front and its leading theorist Karel Teige, who simply ignored him. On the other hand, he acted as a link between the two generations of Kot\u011bra\u2019s students \u2013 the prewar generation of Cubists as represented by Josef Go\u010d\u00e1r and Pavel Jan\u00e1k, and the postwar Functionalist generation headed by his younger classmates Jarom\u00edr Krejcar and Bohuslav Fuchs. All along, however, he retained his admiration for his teacher Jan Kot\u011bra as well as a sense of respect for his friend Josip Ple\u010dnik, who was a frequent guest at Kot\u011bra\u2019s home and studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ro\u0161kot\u2019s two most beautiful projects were realized in part thanks to the support and goodwill of Ple\u010dnik\u2019s friend Josef Cibulka, a priest and professor of liturgical art at Charles University\u2019s Theological Faculty.[5]<\/a> Cibulka first promoted Ro\u0161kot as architect in 1930, for the design of a theater in his hometown of \u00dast\u00ed nad Orlic\u00ed, which was opened in 1936. Here, into a steep slope beneath the local church, Ro\u0161kot placed the curving volume of the vestibule and auditorium, attached to which is the tholobate of the fly tower. The lateral elevations of this significantly sculptural building are lined by elegant horizontal galleries. With this theater, Ro\u0161kot built the first of his masterpieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
