The functionalist colony Baba can attract tourists from the center of Prague
In the Czech capital of the capital, Kadoron will come to admire more foreign and domestic visitors. Only the vast majority of them will remain only in the historic core itself, which is slowly able to cope with the support of tourists.
The magistrate because of how to relieve the center and at the same time lure the crowds into the city gave an interesting city around Prague.
The moment is to choose from it. Apart from Vyehrad, Mozart’s Bertramka, Mller’s villa in Steovice or the summer star Hvzda, this is a unique functionalist colony of Baba.
Twelve villas on a hill in the cracks of Dejvice were built in 1932 as a modern living of the First Republic.
Logo Baba 1932. The letters and slice are spacious, like the villas at Baba.
In addition to the unmistakable style, the fortress stood out from other projects of the time in that it was created for the future owner directly on the basis of a dialogue with architects.
A famous builder such as Pavel Jank, Josef Gor or Ladislav K. worked here in one town.
Baba is one of the estates of experimental media, which was founded between 1927 and 1932 in Europe on the initiative of the association architect and designer under the name Werkbund.
According to the colonies Weissenhof in Stuttgart, Lainz in Vienna, WuWa in Wroclaw, Neubuhl in Zurich or Nov dm in Brno. Cooperation has been established between the cities in the past, its bite has been Prague since 2013.
In addition to the preservation and preservation of this modern architecture, the common goal is to reach the prestigious European Heritage Label, which is the most valuable of its kind within the European Union. This may increase the prestige of localities, it is best to promote them and the general public to come here first.
The first step in this was taken by Prague in June, when the city council approved the creation of its own logo and emblems Baba 1932. It will be registered as a trademark on a number of industrial property and will become part of a joint project.
This year, he chose the logo and visual style at the lt magistrt in a public competition, including designer Jan abach.
According to him, the proposal is based on the Bauhaus graphic design, but it is a modern version of functionalist aesthetics. The individual letters then recall a typical villa in Bab with flat roofs and dog windows.
Just as the houses on Bab are sealed according to the full architect Pavel Janek, so are the letters in the logo in the achovnik form, adding.
Prague wants an exhibition and an info kiosk
The initiative of Prague does not end with this initiative. Since the beginning of the year, new information brochures and websites www.baba1932.cz have been helping to make the settlement more attractive, but above all, new land has been built.
We are filling an open table exposition to the darkness of the Baba settlement, the event of others told the Werkbund, and the location of a solar infokiosk on the ground of Baby. According to the insights into the full cultivation of public spaces, the local information panel and the eventual information center in the locality, the director of the Department of Monuments at the Prague Master Ji Skalick outlines.
The real city and the effort to hack the invaders may encounter resistance from the city. This is a quiet residential area and the inhabitants are quite sensitive to any news.
Last year, he provoked criticism of the town hall’s fall to build a nearby restoration area, many did not like the recently introduced bus lines to sdlit.
Eva Smutn (TOP 09), the mayor of Prague 6 for the monument and strategic development, is also aware of the problem for the ambitious project.
We have to figure out if the information board will come there and in what form to make it acceptable to people. Or we can find in the city another city, where we would Babu last town hall, to the Sad Customs Colony on display.
The villa building on Bab is a functionalist escape.
