Plzeň wants to have a say in the shape of the new building instead of the "culture house"
 |
"The list of conditions was created after a series of discussions with architects and other experts. The conditions are based on the management's own ideas discussed also at the last council meeting, on input from residents and civic associations, and on the urban plan for the entire block defined by Americká, Sirková, and Denisovo embankment," she stated.
Among the basic conditions is, for example, the requirement for multifunctional use of the new development. New projects must offer retail, services, culture, offices, sports, public spaces for gatherings, leisure spaces, and more. The city also wants to maintain the concept of an urban boulevard on Americká Avenue, featuring tree-lined avenues, drinking fountains, benches, front gardens, and artistic artifacts.
The new building is expected to have a high-quality and contemporary "architectural expression," and the city hall has set the height and extent of construction. It must also be connected to existing pedestrian routes leading from the historic core and, for example, from the train station.
"The city hall management is continuously monitoring the project's preparations and negotiating with the investor. We intensified our involvement in the preparations at the end of June. We have received numerous suggestions from residents, civic associations, and the opposition," said Deputy Mayor Petr Rund (ODS). The city hall has invited Amádeus Plzeň to present the project in the desired modification to the public in August. A series of meetings of city councilors and representatives will follow, added Rund.
According to the deputy, it currently seems that, in agreement with the investor, the city will manage to retain activities related to culture, leisure, and sports in the new building. "Transportation will be regulated so that it does not burden the area more than it does currently," Rund added.
The originally planned giant monofunctional shopping center was estimated to cost two billion crowns. Many residents expressed opposition to its construction. The civic association Kultura(k) was particularly active, collecting nearly 1500 signatures against the demolition on its petition. Opponents of the new building also attempted to have the current cultural house listed as a heritage site, which was unsuccessful.
One of the largest cultural houses in the former Czechoslovakia, with a hall capacity of 2000 people, was ceremoniously opened on January 17, 1986. Concerts, graduation balls, fashion shows, fairs, and conferences were held in Inwest. The building also housed the Miroslav Horníček Theatre and several shops. By the end of June, all tenants had to vacate the building.
