Prague Modern. Architectural City Guide 1850–2000

The best of the popular series of architectural guides Prague Modern is published in one volume in English. It captures two hundred important, famous and lesser-known buildings, as we do not normally see: without cars and from a level high above the sidewalk, while black-and-white photographs make the beautiful lines of houses stand out. In one book, gems from the Art Nouveau, modernism, functionalism or constructivism period fit. Surprisingly, even the post-war years, the era of Stalinism or normalization enriched the face of the city with a number of notable works, whether socialist-realistic, Brussels or brutalist. The photographs show the current state of architecture in the historical center of Prague and in the rings of seventeen adjacent parts. There are clear maps with marked objects.
