Publisher's word:
"This exceptional publication presents the story of the Štvanická bridge, one of the most significant modern constructions in Prague. The book addresses all aspects of the project, from design through realization to the technical innovations that place the bridge among the pinnacle examples of modern architecture and engineering."
The preface to the book was written by Rafi Segal, a professor at the prestigious MIT university in Cambridge, USA.
Professor Rafi Segal was the chairman of the international jury for the Grand Prix architects 2024, which awarded the main prize to the bridge – the National Prize for Architecture.
"The Štvanická bridge in Prague is an exceptional architectural work. It, like an outstanding musical composition that we could describe as the art of creating 'as much' music from the smallest number of notes, maximizes its impact on the city while doing so with minimal form and effort. The project stands out for its contribution to the urban context: it not only connects individual districts and catalyzes the development and regeneration of the urban environment, but also promotes pedestrian movement, reduces carbon emissions, and contributes to healthier living habits of Prague's residents. This project elevates infrastructure to an inspiring design masterpiece par excellence - aesthetic intentions here lead to technological innovations and solutions. Petr Tej and his team used the aesthetics of this building to convey something about the culture in which we live. To tell us about a more sustainable collective future and to share their appreciation and love for the city as a space for people."
Authors of the sculptural elements: Aleš Hvízdal, Jan Hendrych
