SEARCHING FOR AN IDEAL SITE AND DESIGN OF THE NATIONAL LIBRARY WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS

The place and appearance of the new building of the National Library is a theme that has been resonating with both lay and professional public for more than 100 years. The aim of this diploma project was to try to offer one of the possible perspectives on the solution of this issue, thus to find a plot for the new building of the National Library and the form that would correspond to the meaning of this institution. Moreover, the chosen form of the reconstruction of the Hilton Prague Hotel and the revitalization of its surroundings open up the question of the possibility of using the reconstruction of buildings as a reaction to the lack of free plots in the city center.
