Josef Gočár, regulatory plan of Hradec Králové, 1924

Hradec Králové - Unimplemented projects of architect Josef Gočár in Hradec Králové are presented in an exhibition that opened this evening at the Hradec museum. The exhibition titled Dreams and Visions will be available until October 31. Jan Jakl, a historian at the museum, stated this today for ČTK.
    Among the displayed items are proposals for the Luther Institute from 1909 to 1910, for the city gallery building from the early 1930s, and for the extension of the museum building from 1942. "The reasons why these projects were not realized are various, but largely due to a lack of funds," said Jakl. The exhibition also features other unimplemented projects, for which only parts of the original documentation have been preserved. A section of the exhibition is also dedicated to Gočár's urban planning for the Elbe and Orlice basins.
    Part of the exhibition includes three-dimensional models of some projects and a computer visualization of the city gallery design. The exhibition is also complemented by photographs of realized objects that were built in Hradec Králové according to Gočár's designs, such as the gymnasium building or the staircase that now bears his name. Gočár also created a regulatory plan for Hradec Králové in the 1920s.
    Architect Josef Gočár was born on March 13, 1880. After early folkloristic works, he leaned toward European modernity as a student of Professor Jan Kotěra, and after 1911 he focused on Cubism, which he was a part of its birth. His most famous realizations include the cubist buildings the House at the Black Madonna in Prague and the Spa Pavilion in Lázně Bohdaneč. Gočár died on September 10, 1945, in Jičín. In 2000, he was voted the greatest personality of 20th-century Czech architecture in a poll.
