The castle and the city

In this project we focus on an area around the former northern fortifications of Prague. Even though partially dismantled in 1875, the area around the ramparts never fully embraced the city which grew all around them. Instead it bacame an empty belt filled with service functions unfit for a place so close to the most important building in the Czech Republic. Thus a barrier has been created separating the castle from ordinary city. Now, with big planning changes in progress, we may allow ourselves to reevaluate this situation and imagine a possible future scenario, where this forgotten corner of Prague regains its meaning as a proper part of the city.
