Nationale-Nederlanden Building

Designed by Frank Gehry in collaboration with the Croation-Czech architect Vlado Milunic, the Nationale-Nederlanden Building in Prague is affectionately known as ‘the Dancing House’ or ‘Ginger & Fred’.

Constructed in the middle of a square of historic buildings, the building has two main parts – a glass tower that narrows at half its height and is supported by curved pillars; and a second tower that features undulating mouldings and unaligned windows. On the top of the building is a large twisted metal structure nicknamed ‘Medusa’.
