Plato Contemporary Art Gallery in Ostrava by KWK Promes is a modern rebirth celebrating a Czech building’s heritage
Plato Contemporary Art Gallery is the newest chapter in the redevelopment story of Ostrava’s Dolní Vítkovice former steelworks factory and industrial area, which is slowly being transformed into an extensive cultural hub. Situated in the north-eastern part of the Czech Republic, Ostrava is the country’s third largest metropolis, founded in the Middle Ages, but only flourished in the 19th century thanks to its then-booming coal-mining and metallurgy sectors.
The interior design follows a restrained palette in both colour and materials . Nothing feels superfluous in the space and nothing serves as an ornament. Apart from the exhibition halls, the former slaughterhouse also hosts educational spaces, guest rooms, administration offices, as well as a small hydroponic farm. Ongoing plans in the area mean the complex will soon be complemented by a small, green, sustainable park that will replace an existing large, open plaza on site.
Most importantly, though, with its partially movable walls, it will offer a flexible, playful space of unprecedented creative opportunities for artists and curators, enabling unusual interactions with the public and symbolically underlining the message that culture should be open and accessible to all.
