Yesterday afternoon, a press conference was held, revealing the 5 winning proposals for the completion of Prague’s Kulaťák. Even though the urban concept, which laid the foundation for Dejvice, was designed by Antonín Engel a hundred years ago, a section of Vítězné náměstí, known as the 4th Quadrant, remains undeveloped to this day.
Its new form is to be determined based on an agreement between the investor and the Prague city administration through an international architectural competition, which is now approaching its final stages.
The proposals of the five finalists of the international architectural competition will be presented at an outdoor exhibition right on Vítězné náměstí, and they can also be viewed on the competition website at: 4quadrant.cz. The public has the opportunity to comment on the proposals until June 11th, and the citizens’ comments will be forwarded to the international jury of experts before it decides on the winner.
“The group of finalists, consisting of renowned European architectural firms and top Czech teams, presented very interesting proposals. The introduced projects respect the character that architect Engel imprinted on Dejvice a hundred years ago, but also exhibit originality, diversity, and alignment with modern architectural trends. Most importantly, they strive to meet the requirements and needs of Dejvice’s present-day inhabitants,” says Petr Palička, Director of Penta Real Estate.
