The Prague 6 district wants to speak in the form of the planned fourth quadrant of Vítězné náměstí. According to the town hall, the height of new buildings and offices should be limited to less than half of the territory. For this he needs a hall for five hundred people or an arcade with shops.
The new form will emerge from the competition
The fourth quadrant, defined by the streets of the European and Yugoslav Partisans, is still empty. The urban concept of Dejvice and Vítězné náměstí was designed by architect Antonín Engel in the 1920s, but the project was not completed. Originally, the space was intended for universities, but it will be used for a different purpose.
“The free land, to which the university campus adjoins, was accompanied by several years of property disputes between the Czech Technical University and the University of Chemistry and Technology, the VŠCHT eventually became the owner,” it is written on the website of Prague 6.
Last year, the school sold 88 percent of the area for more than one billion crowns to the Fourth Quadrant consortium, which brings together the companies Penta Real Estate, Sekyra Group and Kaprain. The new owners have now announced an international architectural competition for a new form of the quadrant. The winning proposal will be presented in May next year.
Six wants fewer apartments and offices
“For Prague 6, this is such a fundamental and important project that, as representatives of local residents, we want to have a say in the future form of this place,” said the deputy mayor for regional development in a press release Jakub Starek (ODS).
“We would like a cultural hub or a cultural-social center to be created as part of civic amenities thanks to the completion, for example a science park, exhibition spaces, club spaces with the possibility of projection and, for example, a hall for five hundred people,” the Old Man listed.
Šestka also wants to set aside one quarter of the area for civic amenities, i.e. shops, services, and culture. Furthermore, create an arcade with shops and services connected to the subway vestibule, Preserve the axis Dejvická – Technická street and reserve less than half of the total built-up area for the office. The height of the new buildings should not increase the others in the vicinity, and last but not least, the town hall wants the right to adjust the amount of living space according to the capacity of the surrounding kindergartens and elementary schools.
