very nice. welcome. are you Czech because we had no Czech forumers before?

Hotel Kupa seems to be relative of Genex lol

 

[Koniaczeq]

Hotel Kupa - :hilarious: yeah it looks actually like kupa ...:hahaha: I prefer old beautiful Praha

 

[alex_d]

yeah, polish translation for the hotel name fits exactly to the reality ,but i see some potencial in that building , it just needs some refreshment.....anyways, if that's the best of modern praha (wich i don't believe) you can't compare that to the older part of the city

 

[alex_d]

why don't you show buildings like palac euro? it is a great design and it was nominated to mies van der rohe award.i suppose you have a lot more of such interesting buildings.it's been 4 years since i last visited praha, and i guess a lot of new and great architecture appeared

[delfin_pl]

[kamil]

OMG this building totally rocks !

 

[edolen1]

Wow, the commieblock side of Prague is depressing.. I guess every city has its ups and downs..

 

[fishfanger]

Oh, Hotel Kupa is not good name for hotel, Business was beter.
My photos looks old, but is almost new, expect two of them. I have no digital camera, I must scan pictures from photos, so that is the reason.
I think I am one and only man from Czech Rep, who is intrested about skyscrapers and highrisebuilding. Do you know other Czech?
I have some my photos of Prague at www.emporis.com (www.skyscrapers.com), I think

 

[Football Rules]

Old Prague is great to look at
Great photos fishfanger

ps:Kupa means Trophy in albanian but i guess in polish that's a whole different story:lol: :lol:

I've been to Prague once. I love this city. I would really like to visit it once more this summer. Dunno I'll manage though. When I was in Prague I felt as if I had been in a magic place. Although I was young at that time and I didn't give a f*** to architectural beauty I was really amazed.
In my view, Prague is better off without skyscrapers. It's not a good place to erect high buildings.

Well, Corinthia tower is really fine and the impressive skyline of Prague is when you enter the city from D1 highway (around Nuselský most). Prague now IMHO really cannot compare to the Prague some 8 years ago.
Of course, the old architecture has its special charm in this city.

 

[AdamT]

Prague is nice, but I want a more dynamic city with more variation. Prague only offers the old town as far as I've seen. Are there any projects around Prague that will make it look more like a metropolitan? of course they cant build a skyscraper in dead center where the old architecture is, but around it would be awesome! I like Prague however. It's a nice city to visit.

 

[Tomesh]

^^^ Have you ever been to Prague? in my opinion the city offers everything, theres something for everyones taste and thats what I really love. Its generally dynamic, maybe no skyscrapers but thats good IMO.
