Rebirth of the monumental work of Peter Parléř on the Old Town Square. One of the winning designs from the last contest at the Old Town Hall Square and completion of the square
In the article, the authors recall their proposal for the completion of the Old Town Hall from the last competition of 1987. Its design was based on the idea of the strict conservation of historic street lines and a respect for the qualities of the space. After a series of competitions, the authors then presented a proposal related to a third of the preserved state of the medieval Town Hall with all the details, including the chapel. The author of the original proposal was likely the world-renowned ar0chitect Petr Parléř and was realized by the Parléř workshop of Wenceslas (Václav) IV.
