Cubist Architecture

 

From Vysehrad we walked to these cubist houses. I love how the color of the art deco kit matches these pictures so well!

• English version:
  Below Vysehrad lies a small cluster of three cubist houses. They have an amazing location - with a view of the riwer - but they didn't seem to be used and wasn't as impressive as we had hoped. STill fun to see these buildings though where the architectonic focus was on diagonals instead of horisontal and vertical lines and where the architect has used triangular and polygonal shapes and pyramids and thereby they got a facetted and almost crystallic facade which changes as the sun moves across the sky.
• Danish version:
  Nedenfor Vysehrad ligger en lille klynge af 3 kubistiske huse. De ligger fantastisk – med udsigt over floden – men så ikke alle ud til at være i brug, og var ikke helt så imponerende, som vi havde håbet. Stadigvæk sjovt at se disse bygninger, hvor den arkitektoniske vægt er lagt på diagonaler i stedet for horisontale og vertikale linjer, og hvor der er benyttet triangulære og polygonale former, samt pyramider, og får dermed en facetteret og nærmest krystallinsk udseende facade, som ændrer sig alt efter hvordan solens stråler kastes på den.
