We imagine the new KCP as a sustainable landmark floating above a new urban park. The public spaces and new amenities below will attract and draw together the centre’s visitors and the citizens of Prague creating a symbiotic dialogue.

The small built footprint creates an incredible setting under the reflective underbody where urbanity and unexpected activities blossom.

The new centre’s design is composed by a single large volume which recognizes the chaotic nature of the site and structures it without negating its nature. The continuous interactive façade will create an iconic setting for new activities and events to flourish in Pankrác square. The building will soar above the park with enough clearance to let city life flow unaltered underneath and into the new entrance, wide open to the city. The new KCP will function like a bridge, linking distant points and organizing the territory without affecting the landscape beneath it. The small built footprint will create an incredible setting under the reflective underbody where urbanity and unexpected activities blossom.
