September 9, 2025Sep 9 Prague, one of Europe’s most picturesque capitals, is preparing for a striking new landmark on its skyline. Unlike many cities that protect their historic silhouettes, Prague has approved a bold departure: a 135-metre (442ft) skyscraper incorporating the dramatic form of a rusted shipwreck sculpture jutting from its side. The project, named Top Tower, will be the tallest building in Czechia, surpassing Brno’s AZ Tower by nine metres. The design merges high-rise architecture with post-apocalyptic art, featuring the hull of a crashed ship embedded into the tower’s upper floors. Planned for Nové Butovice, a fast-developing business district in the southwest of the city, the tower is intended to symbolise climate catastrophe and human resilience. The dramatic visual statement reflects both a cautionary tale and a futuristic vision for Prague’s evolving skyline.
September 9, 2025Sep 9 They should call it "Titanic Tower". Unless that name is already in use somewhere.
