The Křižík Pavilions, built in 1991 according to a design by architect Michal Brix, were originally intended as temporary structures for the General Czechoslovak Exhibition. Even after more than thirty years, however, they have remained an important part of Prague’s Exhibition Grounds.

After years of intensive use, the pavilions underwent an extensive revitalization, which brought technical upgrades and new multifunctional capabilities. In addition to improvements to the interiors, which feature an industrial aesthetic, the pavilions also gained green roofs, which contribute to sustainability and improve the urban microclimate. As a result, the pavilions have become not only exhibition spaces but also places for relaxation and socializing.

The interior of the pavilions has undergone a significant transformation. The exhibition space is unified by a matte black finish, allowing the exhibits to stand out. The technical and sanitary facilities are designed in light tones for better orientation. The concrete structures inside have been left in their raw state, and together with stainless steel elements—such as railings, handrails, and fixtures—they reinforce the space’s industrial character and the building’s structural principles.

One of the key elements of the revitalization is the renovation of the roof, which has taken on a completely new character. The originally unused and neglected solid concrete surfaces have been transformed into active green roofs accessible to the public. This green roof concept addresses the current need for sustainable urban interventions, reducing the heat island effect and improving stormwater runoff management. At the same time, a space with diverse functions has been created, allowing for year-round use. In addition to rest and relaxation amid the greenery, the Křižík Pavilions offer simple dining options as well as sports and social activities. The roof now features a snack bar, a running track, and play elements, transforming this space into a multifunctional venue.

The revitalization of the Křižík Pavilions thus represents a fusion of history and modern architecture that responds to the current needs of urban space and offers high-quality multifunctional use in the heart of Prague.
