Library on Vyšehrad

The proposed library is located in close proximity to the university campus at Vyšehrad and responds sensitively to the historical context of the site. The building establishes a harmonious dialogue between contemporary architecture and the fortress walls that define the area's unique character. The main feature of the design is a glazed front façade, offering a clear view through the building towards an opening in the historic fortifications. This visual axis symbolically connects the library’s interior with the surrounding landscape and the rich heritage of Vyšehrad. In this way, the library becomes not only a place for study and knowledge but also a quiet observer of the passage of time—an architectural reflection of past and present in the very heart of Prague.
