A TRIBUTE TO EVŽEN LINHART
Annotation
The proposed building of the CTU Lion Gate is inspired by the architect Evžen Linhart's own villa. It is located in Dejvice in the area of the planned completion of the fourth quadrant of Vítězné náměstí. The space has two main functions - it serves as a place where the university can present itself to the public, for example through exhibitions of student work or professional lectures, and as a place where students from all faculties of the CTU can meet each other. The building is divided into an above-ground part, which is open to the outside, and an underground part, which contains two floors, one of which is designed as a gallery. The most striking element of the entire building is the concrete staircase that connects all floors. Natural lighting is provided mainly by the glass roof.
