Cost-effective station Žižkov written off
 |
The building, which perfectly fulfills the functionalist thesis of the house-machine and, due to its operational solution, likely represents a European unique case, is also the longest building in Prague. In recent years, more than two dozen school and professional studies have emerged regarding its new usage. It is not a protected monument.

“The proposed demolition of the Žižkov freight station represents not only a significant cultural loss due to its being an exceptional example of modern architecture. It signifies a fundamental misunderstanding of the opportunity offered by new uses for this unique industrial site in creating the future urban composition of Žižkov. Demolition justified by the need to create a 'new boulevard' in Žižkov seems rather like a pretext for seeking the simplest solution for the architect and developer, against whose banality the preservation of this industrial monument would indeed help protect.”
Benjamin Fragner, Research Center for Industrial Heritage at Czech Technical University in Prague
