Josef Gočár (1880 – 1945) occupies a leading position in the history of Czech architecture in the first half of the 20th century. He belongs to a strong generation of architects born at the end of the 19th century, for whom it is characteristic that they managed to change several architectural styles during their lives. The focus of Gočár's work was undoubtedly cubism, national style and later functionalism.
