The Dancing House, Prague, Czech republic, Europe

The Dancing House, or Ginger and Fred, the official name of the originally Nationale Nederlanden Building, completed in 1996, stands in Prague on the right bank of the Vltava River on the corner of Rašínovo nábřeží and Jiráskovo náměstí. Named after the shape of its two corner towers, inspired by the famous inter-war dance couple Fred Astar and Ginger Rogers. The dancing house was designed by Vlado Milunić, along with Frank O. Gehry, who was invited to the project by the investor. The interiors of the investor’s offices were partly entrusted to British architect of Czech origin, Eva Jiricna.
