Description
As an extension to the older Chamber of Commerce and Trade, the windows of the classrooms along the street are designed differently, but they fit in with the rhythm. The most significant facade design is the staircase with its vertical and horizontal ribbon windows, forming a little tower. With references to well-known schools of modernism, such as the Dutch De Stijl or the German Bauhaus, the two Prague architects are oriented towards international trends.
A building for the same purpose was built in Hradec Králové some years earlier. What is striking while comparing the two buildings, is how much the styles differ and how the architecture has been reduced to its essentials within four years.
