Architect Kaplicky rejects Klaus's criticisms of library design...

Meanwhile, architect Jan Kaplicky has hit back at Presidents Klaus's criticisms of his design for a new National Library building. Presenting the project to the Czech Senate, Mr Kaplicky countered a number of arguments put forward by the president. For instance, he rejected Mr Klaus's complaint that its windows could not be opened; Mr Kaplicky said that was common in modern libraries. The green, blob-like structure should be completed on Prague's Letna Plain by 2010.
