Jakub Cígler wins tender to rebuild part of Industrial Palace at Prague’s Výstaviště

Architect Jakub Cígler has won a tender to rebuild part of the Industrial Palace at Prague’s Výstaviště trade fair grounds. One wing of the building was destroyed by fire in October 2008. Mr Cígler’s studio Cígler Marani Architects secured the contract after promising to reconstruct it using technology similar to that employed when it was built in the late 19th century. His design had already been chosen by a selection commission before Prague City Hall announced on Tuesday that he had won.
