This is the Dancing House by Frank Gehry. It is one of the few examples of modern architecture in Prague. Gehry is known for his out-there designs, this design is supposed to reflect a man and woman dancing. It is a very interesting building, but they say is it hard to use the space inside. And the double façade (two layers of glass) is hard to see out of. This is usually not a problem but because the glass walls curve and are not parallel, a glare is created. But it looks cool, and can help with heat gain from summer sun.
The office building has a restaurant on the top floor, it is very expensive. It is easier to see the man and woman dancing in the logo of the restaurant below. Maybe I can convince mom and dad to take me there when they come visit in a few weeks.
