Miluni?¦ and Gehry's Dancing HouseThis unique building is so famous it even had a coin issued with
its likeness printed on it, celebrating ten years of architecture
in the Czech Republic. Designed by Croatian-born Czech architect
Vlado Miluni?¦ together with renowned Canadian architect Frank
Gehry, it was orginally named `Fred and Ginger`, reflecting a woman
and man (Ginger Rogers and Fred Astair) dancing together. The
building was designed in 1992 and completed in 1996. Construction
is from 99 concrete panels each of different shape and dimension,
each therefore requiring a unique wooden form. The building is a
popular tourist photo opportunity, though there is nothing of
interest inside.
