Dancing House, Prague, Prague Overview
Created by architects Vlado Milunic and Frank Gehry, the Dancing House of Prague draws attention because of its unique, unconventional design. The non-linear pattern of the building makes it stand out among other Baroque, Gothic, and Art Nouveau buildings along the Vltava River embankment. Built under the blessings of the then-Czech president Vaclav Havel, the building was initially named ‘Fred and Ginger’ after renowned dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. This is where the structure gets its name from. The plot where the Dancing House stands is of great historical significance. The site was the location of a dilapidated house destroyed by U.S. bombings during World War II. Inside the building a hotel, a restaurant, a glass bar, and a gallery offer a 360-degree view of the Prague skyline. These are the only parts of the building open to the public, the rest is taken over by commercial establishments.
