Cultural market of containers transforms disused Prague site
A new marketplace offering food and culture has transformed an unused site at the heart of Prague’s city center. Titled ‘Manifesto’, the project was the brainchild of Martin Barry.A temporary cluster of corrugated metal-covered units surround a shallow pool at Manifesto Market in Prague's historic Smichov district, designed by architects Chybik + Kristof.
Located in a former parking lot sandwiched between the 20th-century National House of Smichov and a former market hall, the food market is intended to reinvigorate a neglected area of the city with new activity.
Chybik + Kristof designed the modular market for hospitality platform Manifesto. Interspersed with trees and planting, Manifesto Market's 11 units provide spaces for various restaurants and bars, surrounded by outdoor furniture designed by David Karasek.
