NADACE ZDEŇKA SÝKORY

Project idea

A foundation building dedicated to the legacy of Zdeněk Sýkora, located in Prague's Letná district, featuring a bold contemporary glass and concrete structure that reflects the geometric and artistic principles of the artist's work.

Project description

The project proposes a multi-story cultural foundation building situated in Prague, Letná. The design features a striking composition of cantilevered glass volumes with a transparent facade system, creating a dynamic interplay between solid concrete elements and glazed surfaces. The ground level opens to a public plaza with outdoor seating, while upper floors house exhibition and foundation spaces. The building integrates a green wall element and maintains a dialogue with the surrounding urban context. The massing strategy involves stacked and shifted rectangular volumes that create architectural interest from all elevations.

Technical information

The building is presented with detailed sections at 1:200, floor plans at 1:200, site plans at 1:5000 and 1:500, axonometric views, and four elevations (north, south, east, west). The structure appears to utilize a concrete frame with extensive curtain wall glazing systems. Multiple floor levels are visible in the sections, including what appears to be underground levels.
