This applies not only to academic and research aspects, but also to its organization, including the establishment of a system of monument conservation at the central level. He was a controversial figure in many respects, opinions vary on his impact as chairman of the post-war National Cultural Commission. This publication was prepared following an international meeting of researchers in 2008. * The Czech and international authors of the texts in this collection include art historians (Alena Janatková, Pavel ?opák), monument conservators (Cathleen M. Giustino, Jana Synková, Petr ?toncner, Jiri Krizek, Kristina Uhliková), experts in regional cultural history (Hana Kábová), specialists in Baroque architecture (Jiri T. Kotalik), in garden architecture (Sylva Dobalová, Ivan P. Muchka), modern architecture (Rostislav ?vácha, Vendula Hnidková) or industrial architecture (Vladislava Valchárová). The contributions are arranged according to theme, so that after the overview provided in the introductory essay readers can get acquainted with the main areas of Wirth's activity from the first decade of the 20th century, when he published his study on Baroque Gothic, through to the early 1950s, when, as chairman of the National Cultural Commission, he prepared the installation of furnishings in the chateau in Ratibor.
