RaumScape: A Unique Piazzetta in Old Town Prague , Prag / Tschechische Republik

 

WIC Prague a.s., Capital City of Prague and Municipality of Prague 1

 

CCEA MOBA, Prague

 

The RaumScape competition invites innovative solutions that perceive public space and architecture as a fluid, interlocking, layered urban landscape. RaumScape aims to connect public space with new programming to create a vibrant and dynamic urban landscape. This architectural and landscape competition seeks visionary solutions that reimagine public space and architecture as a layered, interconnected whole within the urban fabric.

 

The competition concerns the design of the space in front of the Fairmont Golden Prague Hotel (a former InterContinental hotel) in Prague‘s Old Town.

 

The design focuses on a contemporary-quality public space for Prague residents and visitors, incorporating service, technological, and rental areas. This is combined with the context of a conservation area, the neighborhood of a late modernist hotel, and the now commonplace requirements of adaptability, sustainability, and blue-green infrastructure.

 

The competition aims to find a partner with whom the client can develop a quality project from the finalisation of the design to its successful implementation and transform a long-standing indeterminate space into an attractive public place.
