MÓD architects: ZŠIBENICEŽELEZNICE

The railway tracks near the houses and balconies traversed the Žižkov development like veins, bringing movement and an unmistakable atmosphere. Formerly this hill was the site of the Galgen Berg gallows. The tracks were recently relocated. One has been replaced by a bike path, along which people and cyclists now flow between the houses instead of trains. The tracks analogy recalls the railway history of this part of Žižkov and encourages us to think about what to do with the unused area between the original tracks.
