The Forum Karlín, a multipurpose hall within a complex of office buildings, is situated in Karlín, a former industrial Prague districtwhich had been developing since the beginning of the 19th century. The concept of theinterior corresponds to the current atmosphere of Karlín, a place where is still being felt the industrial past while reviving a new life through modern office buildings, exhibition spaces for contemporary design and alternative theatre stages. This industrial past and the contrast between the coarse old factory buildings and the modern design put a face also on the interior of the actual hall. The multipurpose hall offers possibilities to host great concerts, balls, banquets, and theatre performances, as well as more intimate events in lobbies on each floor.
