Concept Validation
The Nový Hlavák project represents a transformative vision for Prague’s historic central railway station area. Conceived as a modern gateway to the city, the project aims to revitalize the urban landscape with a focus on connectivity, sustainability, and architectural innovation. The development is expected to enhance both the commuter experience and the urban environment, setting a new benchmark for Prague’s architectural future.
In an open competition with several leading architectural firms, Virtuplex served as a key supplier, visualizing all design proposals for the Nový Hlavák project. The competition’s jury, composed of esteemed local architects, selected Henning Larsen Architects‘ design as the winning proposal. Virtuplex’s immersive VR platform was instrumental in presenting and refining the design concepts, enabling stakeholders to virtually explore and evaluate each proposal in depth. This VR-based approach provided critical insights into both the functionality and aesthetics of the designs, ensuring that the final selection met the highest standards of user experience and urban integration.
Virtuplex technology played a crucial role throughout the design selection process for Nový Hlavák, supporting a seamless collaboration between multiple architectural teams and providing a clear, immersive representation of each proposal. By enabling real-time virtual meetings and spatial analysis, Virtuplex helped stakeholders make swift, informed decisions while reducing design revisions. This innovative use of VR not only streamlined the selection process but also allowed for a deeper understanding of the winning design, positioning Nový Hlavák as a landmark project for Prague’s future urban landscape.
