“POST-APOCALYPTIC” SCULPTURE PART OF PRAGUE PLAN

2019-09-27

Developer Prigema of Prague, Czech Republic, hopes to build a 135-m-tall mixed-use structure in the Nové Butovice neighborhood of the Czech capital designed by Black n' Arch studio with input from sculptor David Černý that, according to Black n' Arch, would send a "post-apocalyptic message" about climate change, Radio Praha reports. A giant, rusty "shipwreck" featuring an elevator to a viewing area would rise out of an L-shaped, geometric building. The shipwreck would feature plants growing out of the hull to symbolize nature taking over. Should it be built, the so-called Top Tower would be the tallest building in the Czech Republic. Prigema hopes to start construction in 2021.
