czech republic-based radan hubicka architectural studio received first place in a competition to design and realize ‘the line’, a multi-purpose building located at vítězné square in prague. the structure, which will complete the block, is based on the original masterplan as created by professor antonín engel in the 1920s.

in the plan, two types of monumental buildings compose the area: square, bulk forms, and concave shapes. the latter has been built only a single time in the near century that has passed, which is situated directly across the grounds from ‘the line’ proposal.

the distinct form helps located adjacent streets from ground-level  

all elements mirror exactly engel’s masterplan for the square
