Masarykova Station Gallery

The proposal is based on similar concept which many of the prestigious galleries in the world use today. Designed on site, that is exceptional for its proximity to the centre, the spatial quality and the potential to create a real ‘jewel’ within a ‘rocky hillside’.


The concept lies in a mass enclosed sketch, which opposes the building block in the near proximity of the Masarykova station site. It is the organic shape that unites the entire territory. In this case the simplistic rules of altitude levels, street lines, the traditional concept of doors, windows and other architectural elements does not apply. It acts more like a new landscape element which gives Prague its characteristic face, similar to the Hill Vítkov. The form is based on several key points, which serve as spread centres for the lines of force that restrain and lead the shape of the envelope. The final mass can eventually absorb the interference of automobile traffic and increases the overall value of surrounding areas, while keeping the Masarykova railway station fully operational.
