[...] National Tecnical Library in Prague / Projektil Architekti The idea of the new technical library is quite old and started in the 90’s. The architectural competition took place in 2000. The investor is the ministry of education on behalf of the State technical library. Our design got 1st prize among approximately 50 proposals. There wasn’t any second prize and, instead there were three third prizes (read more…) [...]

I agree, I am from Prague and I think as beautiful as the historic town is more edgy and sexy architecture is needed even if in outskirts of the city, just to make it stand out.
Its a pretty good-looking building, and a good attempt.

The building is beautiful but the lack of attention (and money) given to the landscape treatment results in a poor connection to the surrounding city.

I really like this.. kind of old-school. Lots of nice touches to the interiors, like the concrete column heads.

I had the opprotunity to visit the building with the architect (before it was opened to public). I can say the design is great, from larger scale to some great details (bituterazzo floor for example, paintings on the rough concrete, patio terraces on the top floor). it is meant to be a “technical handbook” in scale 1:1 , so you can see all the wires, pipes, structure and everything. even the colourful floor is actually an engeneer software output, so it fits into the concept. the pity is, the ground floor was meant to be a public space with four entrances, but only one is functional (they are afraid to leave them non-secured).

mr.cheap: the acoustics is OK, it is an open space but divided with some segments (the atrium is closed)

I would also question the acoustics in this place when filled with people. Seems to have few or none sound reducing elements ?

I think this is actually quite good. It’s a very basic structure, a very basic form, and this softening of the exterior reduces the impact and character of the building on the outside.

What I find a bit difficult to understand is how the spaces inside relates to the outside. In the presentation it seems almost like only an interior space with daylight. This could be an interesting idéa, to create an indoor space that has absolutely no relation to the outside except for lighting conditions, no views, etc.

As a big building in the city I think the shaping of this is excellent, lighter than the swiss, but more rational and ordered than the danish. Also a very nice description in text, nice to hear about innovative efficiency and static solutions.

Thanks for publishing !
