Award recognises Pardubice building beside renovated mill

The preservationist group Club for Ancient Prague has presented its annual award for a new building that fits in with older structures to a project by the Šépka architekti studio in Pardubice.

Its architects Jan Bárta, Marek Fischer and Jan Šépka designed the city’s Central Polytechnical Workshops and Gallery, which is next to the Automatic Mills, an early 20th century building by Josef Gočár that was reopened after major renovations last year.
