“Prague is a city of unfinished concepts,” says the architect. What should line D of the Prague metro look like?
Each line of the Prague metro had a representative purpose, it was equipped with works of art reflecting the history of Prague and the socialist present. For example, the mosaic on Dejvická is now covered by a newsagent’s, and the revolutionary tradition of Moscow on Anděl took over the construction of a shopping center.
“Each route had its own architect,” Petr Kučera explains, adding that route C is made of stone, route A is mysteriously magical and route B is ceramic. And what should the concept of Route D, which has been planned since 1971, look like?
“Today’s demand is something else, the pressure on something is no longer representative. We point out that it would be good to return the tradition of art in the subway, “he notes. Planning route D, however, has a number of questions – it does not seem to him, for example, the economic side of things, another problem is the permitting process. “There are a lot of fundamental questions that have not been answered,” he adds.
I need to give the history of Prague a face, in cooperation with archeology and conservationists to enliven buildings, visually open a window to the past. PETR KUČERA
He also points out that Prague is a city of unfinished concepts – everyone is afraid to interfere in the historic center. For example, the Old Town Square lacks the eastern wing of the town hall, the torso of the end is Pařížská třída, which connects to Čech Bridge. He is unique in that no one leads.
The Libeň Bridge, for example, is very representative, but it stands out from the center and attention, and should even have been demolished. But the initiative to defend the population does so. “We managed to return the acute danger, but it has not been won yet,” he concludes.
