PHOTO GALLERY: AI reimagines one of Prague's most iconic buildings

Have you ever wondered what Prague’s Dancing House would look like if it were designed by famous architects of past and present?

Using artificial intelligence, TikTok page Imagined Architecture has posted six examples of what Prague’s iconic building would look like if created by different architects. 

British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid had a futuristic architectural style, typified by curving facades, sharp angles, and the use of materials such as concrete and steel. She was the brains behind China’s Guangzhou Opera House, known for making buildings look soft, yet sturdy, at the same time.

Nineteenth-century Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí had a typically Neo-Gothic style that was greatly influenced by Art Nouveau architecture. His most famous work is the La Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona.

Santiago Calatrava, a contemporary Spanish architect, balances urban elements, such as the use of steel and concrete, with natural elements like movement and landscape. His most famous work is the Olympic Sports Complex of Athens and he has been described as being neo-Futurist.

U.S. architect Frank Lloyd Wright, active in the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th, is best known for the dozens of functional Prairie Style homes he designed – where he prioritized horizontal designs over vertical ones. He is also known for promoting organic (nature-based) architecture.

Louis Henry Sullivan, another U.S. architect who operated around the same time as Wright, is known as the “father of skyscrapers.” He focused on simple, geometric lines that made his buildings, such as the well-known Wainwright State Office Building in Missouri, stand out.

Contemporary Swedish architect Peter Zumthor has an uncompromising and minimalist style, attempting to make the most out of small spaces. His work has also been described as modernist and fundamentally practical. The Chapel of Saint Benedict in Switzerland is among his most famous works.
