Architect Jiřičná’s biggest construction project set for Prague.
The great Czech architect Eva Jiřičná has been living in the UK for many decades. But the biggest project in the 85-year-old’s career, a 1,000-apartment development, is set to go up in Prague. I spoke to Jiřičná on Monday at a presentation of Centrum Nového Žižkova, New Žižkov Centre, on which she collaborated with the UK’s Arup Group.
Plans for the complex were first revealed five years ago, but they have been forced to change considerably since then. It’s a huge projectwith 1,000 apartments, hundreds of millions of crowns of investment.
