DE Palace U Novaku - Prague-New Town - Art Nouveau - department store - Josef Novak - Osvald Polivka
SN 02316056
AB This article is concerned with the first Art Nouveau phase (1901-1904) of the development of the famous shopping palace known under the name "U Novaku" No. 699 in Vodickova Street in The New Town. Equally interesting is the later part of this palace situated towards the street V Jame and realised in 1927-1929, described only marginally due to the restricted space of this article. Both parts of currently united palace complex reflect creative development of a single author - architect Osvald Polivka. Also the personality of the building owner Josef Novak is mentioned. The more complex development of department stores in Europe, mainly in Paris and Vienna, is drawn in the introduction, followed by the architectural analysis and comparison of significant realisations with the Prague palace.
