Open stage at Vyšehrad

The open stage at Vyšehrad, now home to Divadlo DVA, lacks essential facilities for both performers and the public. My design introduces underground toilets, a partially sheltered bar, and backstage spaces on a cantilevered structure that preserves open passage and protects a memorial ash tree. It also reopens the historic entrance from Výtoň through the casemates, with skylights bringing daylight into the underground and visually connecting it to the terrain. I see Vyšehrad as a crater within the walls – a quiet inner landscape with its own rhythm, balanced between city and nature. The proposal responds with subtlety, guided by movement and views within the park.
