VELESLAVÍN - European cultural centre MUSEION

MUSEION is a multicultural set of buildings of the European cultural institute, located in Prague quarter Veleslavín, at the place of present car show. Main task of the project was to show new shape of the centre of this urbanistically omitted part of Prague, including design of a square, meeting place, which is, except few parks, missing. The Cultural institute is divided into three buildings, designed in harmony with former vernacular buildings, where is located café, library, multipurpose cultural hall, classrooms, archive, and administration offices. All buildings are oriented into the new square and Veleslavínská str., at the same time communicating with the back, semi-public yard. It could be used for summer cultural events, including the amphitheatre, copying the rising terrain.
