Mondrianove kostky

Project idea

An entrance building for the Holešovice Exhibition Grounds complex, inspired by Mondrian's geometric compositions, creating a visually striking gateway structure using a modular grid of colored and transparent panels.

Project description

The project proposes an entrance pavilion for the Výstaviště Holešovice complex in Prague. The building takes the form of cubic volumes composed on a steel structural grid, clad with panels in red, white, and transparent materials reminiscent of Piet Mondrian's abstract compositions. The program includes a café, workshops, a ticket office (pokladna), a terrace, and a lookout point (vyhlídka) on the upper level. The structure is designed as a steel frame allowing flexibility in the arrangement of solid and transparent panels, creating dynamic visual effects and varying degrees of transparency.

Technical information

The building uses a steel structural frame system with modular infill panels. Materials include steel profiles, corrugated red metal panels, timber elements, and glass/transparent panels. The building has at least 3 floors as indicated by the floor plans (1.NP and 3.NP at 1:120 scale). The section is drawn at 1:100 scale and the site plan at 1:1000. The structural system is clearly visible in the axonometric drawing showing the steel grid framework.
