AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE

This is Nationale-Nederlanden building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic, nicknamed The Dancing House. This build was design by Frank Gehry who is a renowned architect who also designed the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. His buildings are unique pieces of architecture that have become known throughout the world. Many museums, companies, and cities seek Gehry's services as a symbol of excellence, beyond the product he delivers. This building was original called Fred and Ginger, as the building vaguely resembles a pair of dances. This design was a practical solution as the over hang from the two buildings allowed the developers to reclaim more space. This building is hard to miss and is a contribution to architectural design with its high standard of craftsmanship and unique façade.
