Prague – History and vision of Letná Letná is a quarter in the city center and at the same time a world of its own. As a historical district, it has an impressive urban character, a rich cultural life, and is surrounded by vast parks. It has all the prerequisites to be one of the most pleasant places to live in Prague. Still, in recent years, we have encountered projects and interventions that ignore or even damage its genius loci. Because of them, Letná is becoming an increasingly fragile organism, whose long-term future depends on today’s crucial decisions. Letná needs understanding and a vision that will allow it not only to preserve its uniqueness but also to enhance it with thoughtful urbanism and high-quality contemporary architecture. Architectural beauties, peculiarities, and problems of this district will be presented by architectural historian Richard Biegl. meeting point: October 2, 4:00 PM, fountain with sculptures of Fauna and Vltava (near the Vltavská metro station) organized by: Letná for us! www.letnasobe.cz

Prague – Vysočany industrial Transformation of the industrial district with architectural historian Lukáš Beran.

Along Kolbenova street are located not only the buildings of the electrical engineering factory of Emil Kolben and the later enterprise ČKD with extensive war production buildings for aircraft but also the warehouses of the Ministry of Posts or remnants of the Aero and AGA factories. The new symbol of Vysočany could become the steam mill of the company Odkolek on Ke Klíčovu street by architect Hubert Gessner.
