ACSA Steel Competition 2009

At the historic center of Prague, where a richness of culture and fine arts of various styles has coexisted, the project seeks to address the richness of activities that happen at the ground and provide people with the freedom they need to move freely. I want to compose a building through a similar logic, which is one of integrated layers, and a frame which is realized through the cities dense circulatory/cellular grid.
