What next with the Vítkovice train station? - invitation to a debate
On Tuesday, January 28, 2020, at 6:00 PM, a moderated expert discussion on the future of the architectural pearl of the Brussels style will take place at the Antiques and Club Fiducia in Ostrava, Nádražní 30.
Guests:
Miroslav Pazlar - head of the building preparation department, representative of the construction owner SŽDC
Ondřej Vysloužil - city architect, MAPPA - social organization of the Statutory City of Ostrava,
Martin Strakoš - architectural historian, heritage conservationist, author of the publication on the Vítkovice station, NPÚ Ostrava
Alena Borovcová - heritage conservationist, specialist in technical heritage, especially transport structures, NPÚ Ostrava
Adam Guzdek - architect, initiator of the rescue of the Havířov station, Důl architektury association
Petr Lexa Přendík - historian, representative of the initiative to save the Vítkovice station, chronicler of the Ostrava - South district
Moderated by Jan Lenart - author of the Ostrava landscape project OVAtrip, Ostrava University
The Vítkovice railway station is one of the most prominent examples of Brussels style on a national level. The design of the reception hall is by the leading Czechoslovak architect Josef Danda. Its photographs have reached the pages of leading architecture magazines, including those in the West. After 1989, the significance of the station sharply declined; today only trains commuting between Opava and Těšín stop here – and the station is clearly deteriorating. It has been proposed twice for inclusion in the list of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic, but the Ministry of Culture rejected the application in both cases. We will discuss the future of the building with experts and current owners of the building, with the evening moderated by Jan Lenart from Ostrava University.
We are organizing in cooperation with the Svatý Václav association.
Please reserve your seats in advance either at the antique shop or by calling: +420 596 117 312 (Mon-Fri 10-18).
