CONVERSION OF A FORMER PRAGUE SLAUGHTERHOUSE

The former Prague slaughterhouse, today known as The Prague Market, was established during the end of the 19th century as a complicated complex of industrial relations. Its development was already then fast and often hasty. This way of development hasn´t changed much since then, unlike its surroundings. Holešovice, a former industrial suburb, are turning into a multifunctional city district. The city is growing, becoming more dense, the center is shifting. The project is transforming the area into a new campus of the Central European University. It is an effort to find a new identity, restore internal ties and redefine the relationship with the city.
