Golden Angel, Administrative building in Smíchov, Czech Republic.
The Golden Angel stands at the crossroads of Anděl with curved edges and glass facades displaying texts from notable authors.
The building takes its name from a former pharmacy that featured a golden angel statue, which was removed in 1980 for subway construction.
The facade incorporates texts from Franz Kafka, Rainer Maria Rilke, and other writers, representing Prague's literary heritage.
The seven-floor structure contains 20,700 square meters of space, offering modern office facilities with two elevators for vertical transportation.
The facade features a special printing technique with 150 million millimeter-sized dots creating an angel image inspired by Wings of Desire film.
