This whimsical building, designed by architects Szotyńscy & Zaleski, was completed in 2004 and features an undulating facade that resembles a fairy tale illustration. Despite its unique design, the company and building have faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties and a lack of maintenance. However, its unique design soon won the hearts of the locals and became an integral part of Prague’s cultural identity. In Jerusalem, Israel, the Chords Bridge, or Gesher HaMeitarim in Hebrew, also known as the Bridge of Strings, takes bridge design to new heights, both literally and figuratively. Carrying the Jerusalem Light Rail and pedestrians, the architectural design of the Chords Bridge is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess.
