<p><b>Tančící dům</b> 16/02/2025 15h38   <br />
Prague is an old city, but this modern building from the 1990s has also become an icon, a landmark that has even been made into refrigerator magnets. <br />
<br />
<u>Dancing House</u><br />
The Dancing House (Czech: Tančící dům), or Ginger and Fred, is the nickname given to the Nationale-Nederlanden building on the Rašínovo nábřeží (Rašín Embankment) in Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in cooperation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot. The building was designed in 1992. The construction, carried out by BESIX, was completed four years later in 1996. The style is called Deconstructivism. <br />
<br />
Gehry originally called the house Ginger and Fred (after the dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire – the house resembles a pair of dancers), but the nickname Ginger &amp; Fred is now mainly used for the restaurant located on the seventh floor of the Dancing House Hotel. Gehry himself later discarded his own idea, as he was &quot;afraid to import American Hollywood kitsch to Prague&quot;.      <br />
<br />
The Dancing House has been called inappropriate in the classical city of Prague. The deconstructivist design is controversial because the house disrupts the Baroque, Gothic, and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous. The style, shape, heavy asymmetry, and material are considered out of place by some critics and commentators.<br />

Arriving at Jiráskovo náměst (square) by the river where, among other things, the Dancing House of architect Frank Gehry  is located.  The statue of Alois Jirásek is standing there proudly in the middle. Alois Jirásek (23 August 1851 – 12 March 1930) was a Czech writer, author of historical novels and plays. Jirásek was a high school history teacher in Litomyšl and later in Prague until his retirement in 1909. <br />

It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austria-Hungary. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era.          <br />
