Description
Stories about homes have sad and happy endings, but most often they are without endings; they continue. Influenced by historical events, progress, and the transformation of the immediate surroundings. Such stories are mapped in the book Empty Houses, which is based on the website of the same name. The website has connected people who care about the fate of these buildings: We believe that a built house should not be empty. We document. We seek causes. We motivate. We influence. The book Empty Houses brings the best from the database of empty houses in Prague. Each chapter includes a timeline of the history of individual buildings and rich photographic documentation. It invites readers to take a walk through the dilapidated interiors of Prague villas, palaces, and industrial buildings.
