WENCESLAS SQUARE PRAGUE CZECH REPUBLIC COMPETITION
WENCESLAS SQUARE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT URBAN SPACES IN PRAGUE.   ORIGINALLY DESIGNED AS A HORSE MARKET IN THE 14 TH CENTURY, TODAY WENCESLAS SQUARE DOESN'T WORK FUNCTIONALLY OR AESTHETICALLY.   IN OUR DESIGN, WE BRING THE CAR - A CRUCIAL PART OF 21 ST CENTURY LIFE - BACK TO THE SQUARE: FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC, PARKING ON THE SIDE AND AN INCREASED WIDTH OF SIDEWALKS.   WE ELIMINATE THE CENTER ISLAND AND DO NOT REINSITUTE THE USE OF STREETCARS.   WE CREATE A NEW CONNECTION BETWEEN VINOHRADY AND THE SQUARE BY ALLOWING FOR AN OPEN LOBBY IN THE MUSEUM AS A PASSAGE.    ALL ENTRIES TO THE METRO ARE RENOVATED.   THE PRECEDENT FOR OUR CONCEPT IS THE BOULEVARDS OF PARIS, ESPECIALLY THE CHAMPS ELYSEE.
