Palác Chicago, Functionalist palace in New Town, Czech Republic.
Palác Chicago exhibits clean lines and large windows across its facade, emphasizing the functionalist principle of putting purpose before decorative elements.
Josef Havlíček and Jaroslav Joseph Polivka designed this structure in 1927, during a period of rapid architectural transformation in the newly independent Czechoslovakia.
The building represents the functionalist movement that influenced Czech architecture between World Wars, marking a shift from traditional ornate designs to modern forms.
Located near Wenceslas Square, the building contains commercial spaces and offices, with modern facilities that maintain its original architectural features.
The structure integrates industrial materials like steel and glass in its construction, demonstrating early adoption of modern building techniques in Prague.
