More than 250 architects and architecture theorists have signed an open letter against halting the development concept of the embankments.
Moderated by architecture promoter Adam Gebrian Speakers include: Petr Janda, architect and author of the revitalization concept for the embankments Ivo Slavík, gallery owner and initiator of cultural revitalization of the embankments Ondřej Prokop, councilor of HMP and chair of the Prague organization of the ANO movement Adam Scheinherr, councilor of HMP and chair of the Prague Together movement
Why should you attend? Prague’s embankments are a symbol of modern public space and an internationally acclaimed architectural approach. A location awarded by the jury of the Mies van der Rohe Award, popular with both the public and tourists.
And yet the city has decided to halt their conceptual development. Why? And what does it mean for Prague, for public space, and for you? Conference topics: Stopping the revitalization concept: Why is Prague ending one of the most successful urban projects? Falsehoods in the rationale of the HMP Council and manipulation of public opinion Non-conceptual management by TCP, which has led to the decline of maintenance and threats to technology Departure of culture? An attempt to oust (A)VOID Gallery – a cultural icon of the embankments Pre-litigation notice to architect Janda – silencing the author of the concept? Floating city baths – a visionary project or a useless endeavor? Inspiration from Europe: What are they doing in Berlin, Paris, Copenhagen that Prague cannot?
