The design of the bridge between Vton and Smchov didn’t seem like it, to me Klub Za starou Praha
The preservation of the bridge from the middle of the 19th and 20th centuries was debated in Prague for a long time, various proposals for a different state of construction appeared. The suit was announced by the Railways Department last May, its representatives, the mayor’s office, monuments, experts or members of the change club sat in the commission. Under the condition of the new one bridge, it was divided from two on those tracks.
The committee selected a new building, according to the proposal of the 2T engineering company, only the lower part of the building with sawmills should be preserved.
According to the commission, the selected design is the best for moving trains, buses and cyclists. Ask about the environment for cyclists against the current bridge and criticize the new proposal. Part of the conditions of the sale was the preservation of the original monument protection structure. As a result, it may be removed and used elsewhere.
Old Prague Club he recalled that one commission was part of a joint dialogue in two circles, which was not a joint according to the conditions of the Czech Chamber of Architects. He was a dialogue for the selection of the processor, he gave the documentation according to the rules and conditions of the contracting authority. The current dialogue was conducted in accordance with the law for previous public contracts, the club said.
We are also convinced that the priority must be the preservation of the valuable monument of the bridge with the possibility of adding a new independent structure, the club said.
The structure should be preserved, mn club
In the extreme case, when it would be objectively impossible to preserve the original steel girder structure, according to his successor, it is necessary to write a public international architectural convention on the new bridge, which is the best tool for obtaining a high-quality architectural design. Even in such a case, however, the Club would insist on the preservation of the dream constructions and their use in another adequate place.
The initiative “Save the railway bridge”, which was created all those years ago out of fear of a collapsing bridge, is not even considered for the current proposal. In addition, the shape of the bridge strongly influences the panorama of Prague as we know it, they said on Facebook. Theoretician and propagator of architecture rated the proposal as a bad joke on social media Adam Gebrian.
The architect Josef Pleskot, who has a lot of experience with the construction of bridges and levees, stated that, according to him, the current design of the Vtona bridge is the product of social, professional and even political disagreements.
Among the current proposals were several works of architectural studies, which involved the preservation and reconstruction of the old bridge and the addition of a new single-rail bridge with a ramp for cyclists. The company 2T engineering was founded in 2010 and is dedicated to projects in the construction industry and the supply of medical technology and interiors.
