The architecture of new Prague, 1895-1945

Encyclopedic in its coverage, The Architecture of New Prague documents the architects, structures, and theoretical underpinnings that helped to shape Prague's cultural heritage and present-day artistic spirit. Three supplements appear in this edition: a directory of approximately 1,200 buildings (with street addresses), 25 short biographies of the main Prague architects of the time, and a revised bibliography.

The more than 300 illustrations, all commissioned for the book, were taken by architectural photographer Jan Maly. The text provides detailed coverage of the most important architects and their buildings, many of which have never been documented in any English-language publications. There are also insights into the cultural conditions that helped to shape the Czech capital. An introductory chapter takes up Prague's urbanistic development and its context with international architectural movements.

Focuses on the architecture of Prague from the turn of the century to the end of World War II. The book documents the architects, structures and theoretical underpinnings that helped to shape Prague's cultural heritage and present-day artistic spirit.
