Kaplický deadline passes, concessions follow

A deadline given by the Czech architect Jan Kaplický for Prague authorities to make a decision regarding his controversial design for a new library passed today, with signs that the architect is prepared to make concessions. In an interview with the online magazine Tyden.cz, Kaplický conceded that he is prepared to wait for the Czech authorities to give his winning design the final go ahead. Earlier, Kaplický had threatened to pull out from the project if a decision was not reached this week.
