Radomíra Sedláková : Unreal Socialism
On Tuesday, February 12, 2019, at 7:00 PM, a lecture by curator and architecture theorist Radomíra Sedláková will take place at the CAMP in Prague.
The second half of the 20th century left a large number of buildings of various kinds and qualities in Prague. However, the years 1945 to 1989 also left a significant amount of studies and projects that were not realized for various reasons. Prague could have looked quite different. Not always better, but often much more interesting. Such projects were left by many personalities – far from just Josef Havlíček or Karel Prager. We can find them in the works of Alena Šrámková, Věra Machoninová, Jan Sokol, Zdeněk Kuna, Zdeněk Vávra, and others.
What could have stood at the foreland of the Pankrác Bridge? What could the Faculty Hospital in Prague 2 have looked like? Where could the European Center for Mathematics and Physics have been? How could Budějovické náměstí have looked? What could have been at the Želivského metro station? What new church could Prague have had? And what could a hotel in Barrandov have looked like? What could have welcomed those arriving in Prague by train? And where could the building of the Czech Philharmonic and the National Library have been?
