Budova krajského úřadu v Hradci Králové

Budova krajského úřadu v Hradci Králové, Regional office building in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic

The Magistrát města Hradec Králové occupies a monumental Constructivist complex designed by Josef Gočár, his last work in the city. Two side wings are linked and separated by a third, one-storey-lower tract with a porter's lodge at its centre. A thin roof slab on two tall slender columns visually unites the wings. Above the entrance is a 2.7 by 3.1 metre state emblem carved from Kopanina opuka, set in Šluknov sienite, by sculptor Vincenc Makovský.

The structure was completed in 1936 by architect Josef Gočár during a period of vigorous architectural innovation in Czechoslovakia. It emerged shortly before World War II and reflects the progressive ideals of that era.

The building's entrance bears a 2.7 by 3.1 metre state emblem carved from Kopanina opuka stone, set against a backing of Šluknov syenite. Sculptor Vincenc Makovský made the emblem; he was also commissioned for a bust of Antonín Švehla that Gočár demanded for the forecourt, but never finished it. The original plan had placed a monument to Jan Žižka there.

The building is accessible by public transportation from the city center and serves as a visible landmark in the urban landscape. Visitors can view the exterior facade and architectural design from the street and include it in their city exploration.

The entrance is dominated by a 2.7 by 3.1 metre state emblem carved from Kopanina tuff, set against a backing of Šluknov syenite. Sculptor Vincenc Makovský made it; he was also commissioned for a bust of Antonín Švehla that Gočár wanted in front of the building, but never finished it.
