Jan Kasl: In ‘89 people hoped for hundreds of unique new buildings in
Prague
Update: 2019-11-25
Description
Prague has obviously changed enormously over the last 30 years. But what
have been the city’s most, and least, impressive construction projects
since the Velvet Revolution? After the Dancing House, why did interest in
audacious projects seem to cool? And how has Wenceslas Square fared? Who
better to answer those questions than architect Jan Kasl, who is president
of the Czech Chamber of Architects and served as mayor of Prague from 1998
to 2002. We chatted recently on Na příkopě St., in the very heart of the
city centre.
