Prague Magistrala at the New European Bauhaus Festival 2024
- Festival – New European Bauhaus9.-13.4.2024, Parc du Cinquantenaire 10, 1000 Brussels, Belgium
- Prague Magistrala: Unlocking Potential of Urban HighwaysBooth no. 39
During the New European Bauhaus festival, we present the transformation of Prague's Magistrala into an urban boulevard. The project was initiated more than ten years ago by the non-profit organization Centre for Central European Architecture (CCEA) and is moving forward in cooperation with the City of Prague after the completion of a comprehensive study in 2023.
CCEA team in Brussels: Yvette Vašourková, Kamila Dršata, Marina Gonthier + agps architecture: Matěj Draslar
web of the project Magistrála = New Prague Boulevard
Since 2010, CCEA has been focusing on the reclamation of the Magistrála - a Prague transport structure from the 1970s that cut through the city center. Together with architects, designers, artists, and, most importantly, citizens, we are transforming the Magistrala step by step into a livable space for all - the New Prague Boulevard. The transport infrastructure created by planning in the 20th century represents an important element of public ownership that has the potential to strengthen public space towards a more community-driven democracy.
