COMPLETION OF THE 4TH QUADRANT OF VICTORY SQUARE

CTU in Prague - Faculty of Civil Engineering

Idea projektu

The completion of the 4th quadrant of Vítězný náměstí addresses unused land in an exclusive location on the
border of Vítězný náměstí and the university campus. The project will elevate the current use and quality of
the public realm, offering new leisure and employment opportunities and providing the public with exceptional
views, including views of Prague Castle. The newly designed landmark and centre of Prague 6 looks
towards the future, but its shell reflects the present and past of Dejvice. The main aim was to preserve the permeability
of the area, create new high-quality pedestrian links, a fully-fledged public space and offer activities
for users of the new buildings and the general public.

Popis projektu

The land is imaginatively divided into two halves by stretching Technical Street to Vítězné náměstí. Two superblocks
are proposed on the plot, supplemented by a high-rise building. Good permeability through the area is
maintained, thanks to several passages on the ground and free access and passage through the inner blocks.
The intersection of Šolínova and Technická Streets is newly designed as an off-grade crossing. This solution will
make the pedestrian corridor to the colleges more pleasant and safer, and no additional ramps are needed to
enter the underground garages and supply the buildings. Other newly created layers of public spaces are
publicly accessible roof terraces on all buildings, interconnected bridges and a passage in the 1st floor
connected to the Dejvická metro station lobby. The roof terraces and the upper floors of the buildings offer
exclusive views of Dejvice and especially of Prague Castle. In the northern part of the plot a new park with
water features has been created. In winter, this space will be used for public skating, traditionally held on this
plot. An amphitheatre for outdoor events and concerts is located in the right courtyard. The left courtyard contains
the market building, for holding popular farmers' markets. It is a collection of separate buildings unified
by an outer envelope and connected by bridges. The functions of the individual buildings are shown in the diagram
to the right and in the floor plans at the bottom of the poster. The buildings respond in height to the
surrounding buildings. Two blocks of 6 and 8 storeys are complemented by a high-rise building of 21 storeys.
There is one floor of shops and services and two floors of underground garages.
