The award today will go to the best new building in a historic setting

Prague - The Club for Old Prague will announce the best new building in a historical setting this evening according to its selection. Although the club focuses primarily on the preservation of monuments in the capital city, contemporary architecture, according to its members, belongs in the historical environment. There are reportedly many poorly designed new buildings in the Czech Republic. That is why the club has decided to recognize those that have succeeded.
Among the candidates for the award are a group of family houses on Kamenná Street in Brno by Roman Gale and Michal Palaščák, the extension of the Regional Library in Pardubice by Aleš Papp, Magdalena Pappová, and Milan Vít, a family house in Prague - Hlubočepy by Barbora Rossi, Jan Mrázek, and Josef Šanda, and multifunctional buildings on Chlumová Street in Prague - Žižkov by Zdeněk Fránek.
In the past three years, the award has been given to the Portheimka Center project - for the extension of the rectory in Smíchov, Prague 5, the extension of the castle in Prague - Komořany, and the Monastery of Our Lady with the Church of the Virgin Mary, which was created by converting a baroque courtyard in Nový Dvůr near Dobrá Voda in the Karlovy Vary region.
