A Bridge That Turned Into A Pier. Late Epilogue To Karel Prager's Vision of Prague's Košíře District (1975)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Karel Prager&apos;s project of the experimental housing development in Košíře (1975) was doomed to be an ultimate failure from the beginning. As a specific variation of Yona Friedman&apos;s vision of the &quot;city above the city&quot;, it was supposed to hover above the town, exploiting inaccessible or built-up terrain, as well as avoiding a costly and painful redevelopment. It promised to be just a small sample of a universal solution for overpopulated cities, as well as a universal construction set for any unforeseen requirements of the future populations. For these purposes, the simple frame utilised the bridge-system, and also relied on the logic of the labyrinth. Yet in doing so, however unintentionally, it both turned the existing city into a second-rate underworld and imposed on its inhabitants a most determinative system of limited variations, trading the burden of architectural responsibility for the apparent freedom of combinatorics. The essay analyses both the key structural elements of the superstructure - the bridge, the labyrinth, the environmental aspect - and the logic of the megastructural movement which presents a proper context for Prager&apos;s vision.
