A rusty, post-apocalyptic shipwreck 'crashed' into a skyscraper could soon become Prague's tallest building


A giant rusty shipwreck, its bow reaching for the sky, cuts through the main building. Plants growing out of the hull seem to symbolise man’s creation slowly being reclaimed by nature. According to Tomáš Císař, the lead architect of Black n´ Arch studio, which designed the structure, the building also serves as a pedestal for the ship.



While environmental activist Greta Thunberg reminded delegates at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York this week of our planet's dire future prospects, Czech developers Trigema have proposed a post-apocalyptic vision of a giant rusty shipwreck sculpture leaning upright against, and seemingly crashing into, a high-rise building.

"This is something we wanted to do as a memento which connects art and architecture," Czech Radio quotes the designers, architects Black n´ Arch in collaboration with sculptor David Černý, about the climate change-inspired Top Tower proposal which, if realized, could become the country's tallest building. "It is actually a post-apocalyptic message about what is happening around."
