The town of Kuřim, near Brno in the Czech Republic, will relocate its city hall to a former administration building of the engineering firm TOS Kuřim. The building, constructed in the 1950s, exemplifies the late functionalist style reminiscent of the Baťa industrial tradition. This move allows Kuřim to gain a building with historical significance, as it previously lacked a traditionally historic city hall. The project repurposes a landmark structure associated with the town’s prominent industrial heritage. The building’s architectural style is considered unique, blending socialist-era construction with a distinctive functionalist aesthetic. This redevelopment aims to preserve and celebrate Kuřim’s industrial past while providing a modern administrative center.
