Summary:
The extraordinary architectural heritage of Prague has meant that the city is now regarded as one of the artistic and cultural capitals of the world. The turbulent history of the city is reflected in the range and diversity of buildings discussed in this book: from its baroque churches and palaces to the state offices and housing projects of the post-1945 communist era. The guide covers all aspects of Prague's development since its early years, through its periods of both power and decline from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. Particular attention is paid to the architecture of the last one hundred years. Since the democratic revolution of 1989, the city has once again become a place of pilgrimage for those interested in architecture and design. This book covers some of the most recent architectural projects to be planned in the city. There are over one hundred and fifty entries on individual buildings and architectural projects, sub-divided into historical sections. Each entry provides both historical and technical information on the building, as well as precise details on its location and how to get there. The selection includes the well known landmarks of Prague as well as some less familiar and out-of-the-way buildings. Maps of the city and its environs are also provided. This guide will appeal to those with a general interest in architecture and design, as well as architects, art and architectural historians. It provides practical information for the visitor to Prague, and also serves as an essential architectural history of the city.
