Dancing Building

More about the book

The Dancing Building is the work of two men: Zagreb-born but Prague-based architect Vlado Milunic, who had the original idea for the building, and the celebrated American architect Frank Gehry, perhaps best-known for the stunning Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. I spoke to Mr Milunic on the terrace of the exclusive restaurant on the Dancing Building's seventh floor, from where the view is breathtaking. He told me he first conceived of the project back in the mid-1980s, in the company of his neighbour, the then-dissident Vaclav Havel. Both men lived beside where the Dancing Building now stands
