Dancing House
Dancing House, also known as Fred and Ginger, is a unique and iconic building located in the heart of Prague, Czech Republic. Designed by architects Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry, the building's curvaceous and fluid design resembles a pair of dancers in motion. The building's distinctive appearance has made it a popular destination for photographers and tourists alike. The Dancing House offers a variety of photography locations, including the rooftop terrace with stunning views of the city, the curved glass facade that reflects the surrounding architecture, and the interior with its unique and modern design.
The Dancing House, or Fred and Ginger, is the nickname given to the Nationale-Nederlanden building on the Rašín Embankment in Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić in cooperation with Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot. The building was designed in 1992 and completed in 1996. The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time because the house stands out among the Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous, and in the opinion of some it does not accord well with these architectural styles. The then Czech president, Václav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had avidly supported this project, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity. Gehry originally named the house Fred and Ginger (after the famous dancers Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers – the house resembles a pair of dancers) but this nickname is now rarely used; moreover, Gehry himself was later "afraid to import American Hollywood kitsch to Prague", and thus discarded his own idea.
