Repre Most, Cultural building in Most, Czech Republic
Repre Most is a cultural house on náměstí Velké Mostecké stávky, built between 1972 and 1984 to designs by Mojmír Böhm, Jaroslav Zbuzek and Luboš Kos. It is composed of several interlocking reinforced-concrete blocks; a copper planetarium sphere for 14 people sits on the roof, and a triangular volume holding a cinema projects over the ground toward the Prior department store. Beneath the raised rear section lies a fountain pool.
The Repre cultural house was built between 1972 and 1984 alongside the construction of the new town of Most, replacing the Miners' Association House of the old Most whose name it took. It was designed by architects Mojmír Böhm, Jaroslav Zbuzek and Luboš Kos. In 2021 a tender for its reconstruction was announced, and plans to move the town library into the building drew protests, including a demonstration of about 100 people on 27 February 2024.
The building serves as a central venue for community events and houses a cinema, planetarium, and several halls for different types of entertainment and gatherings.
The building is easy to reach since it sits in a central location with good public transport connections. Visitors should note that renovation work is underway and some areas may not be accessible.
The copper sphere on the roof houses a planetarium seating 14 people, a detail easily missed from street level. The cinema sits in a triangular volume that appears to float above the ground toward the Prior department store, while the opposite wing is also raised, sheltering the fountain pool beneath it.
