urban complex in prague Karlín
year:
2008
status:
study - school project
place:
Prague
A task was to design a group of buildings on an almost 0,5 acres area by a bridge-head in Karlin. About 5 acres site on a filled river branch that was assigned for a development. My project is an expression of my view of a potential of a place and a modern progression of an area of Vltava´s meander. Nearby the bridge is situated a highrise bulilding 108 meters high and further are three lower rising volumes. Static‘s essence of the highrise bulding is a superstructure construction of slabs suspended by a core and structural façade. The façade frame is modeled in a voronoi web and make an organic character of the building, which can be seen from far away. The basic volume is turning to a view of the Prague Castle with an increasing height. Three lower rising volumes with its dynamic character evoke changefulness of a near water surface. They are elevated so that they can prevent floodings. The main function is a residential housing and the skyscraper also offers offices, a hotel and a viewdeck café.
