 WENCESLAS SQUARE 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. |
