Corso I
Prague, Czech Republic
As occurs in many european cities, former industrial buildings have lost
their original purpose and must be transformed to accommodate other
uses. This is the case of corso, an office block that forms part of an
ambitious development plan for the entire Karlin district.We wanted
to modernize a quarter without depriving it of its historical roots:
Corso is an example of a former industrial building which has been
transformed into a modern, efficient work center.The original building has been preserved and its base renovated. The new
roof is of glass, and red stucco arcades highlight the composition of
the existing ground floor. The aim here is to maintain a dialogue
between light and shadow, solidity and transparency; between the
language of classical architecture and modern materials.Program project for the transformation of an industrial nave into an office block.
