Originally a university canteen designed by architects František Čermák and Gustav Paul, there are now two buildings – the reconstructed Building B and the new Building A – which make up the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC). Designed by Petr Franta, Čermák’s student, the eye-catching complex boasts a number of architectural and technological innovations, for example a pneumatic facade, an esthetically impressive wall planted in front of the actual building. The facade contains special isolation technology which absorbs noise from the street, repels dirt, and saves energy. The new Building A houses the main office of the chancellor, workrooms, laboratories, university incubator, and classrooms. Come and learn more about the technologies used in this award-winning complex, which is going to open doors to the public during Open House Prague for the first time ever!
