The Dancing Building
The Dancing Building
Originally uploaded by Lylla Lausanne.
This building shelters an insurance company. It was baptized thus by
inhabitants of PRAGUE:
"Ginger and Fred".
It is the work of the architects Milunic and Gebry, built of 1994 to 1996.
The frontage giving on the Jurasek place is formed by the left tower out of glass pointing out the gracious movements of the Ginger dancer, whereas the right concrete tower with steel cupola at the top points out the Fred dancer.
The cupola out of metal tubes covered with a stainless sheet net, evokes the head of the jellyfish.
It is located Rasin quay, in edge of the Vltava, in the New city (Nove Mesto).
That is great looking, very surreal.
