Vyšehrad - a change of perspective

Karla Pavová

Annotation

I conceived my object on the theme of "change of perspective" as a tower that is supposed to shorten the way up to the walls of Vyšehrad. Its regular pentagonal shape responds to the irregular pentagons of the walls. I placed the tower on the north side of Vyšehrad next to the Brick Gate. The path to Vyšehrad leads through the gate and then around to the walls. The tower therefore enables the shortest possible path towards the walls. Another advantage is the upper expanding part. It has the function of a view over a large part of Prague. Since the tower has two entrances, even people who got to the walls by a circular route can get to the observation deck.
