Apparently it was a revolutionary building material at the time.<BR/>It's quite sad to see it go, I agree. If you go on the tram to Jablonec you'll pass the old Textilana site on the edge of Liberec. Beautiful it was.

For ahideous shopping centre it;s not too bad-not as bad as the Priors in Jihlava and Znojmo or the Kotva in Prague at any rate,<BR/> And the orange tiles, well, they have personality. At least they'e not grey. A bit of a shame to hear it's going to be demolished. What's going in its place?<BR/><BR/>Xuxu, as far as I know there was no great controversy, but I didn't really dig into it from that angle. My guess is that not too many people objected-it's 8km or so from the centre of Liberec, and I think at the time (1965-1973) the public had other things on their minds, especially after the 1968 invasion by the USSR, Poland and Co...Captain Oddsockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171705425795102480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319986134869180964.post-4938984520531211292008-09-23T09:15:00.000+02:002008-09-23T09:15:00.000+02:00That's a great place el capitan, I wonder if there...That's a great place el capitan, I wonder if there was much contoversy over it being constructed.Hello Xu Xuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342425344077550696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4319986134869180964.post-18103007082277923732008-09-21T23:44:00.000+02:002008-09-21T23:44:00.000+02:00By the way, you know Hubaček also designed the hid...By the way, you know Hubaček also designed the hideous (and soon to be demolished) building now owned by Tesco's in the city centre?
