NATO Summit 2002
The preparation of the Prague NATO Summit in November 2002 is for us an event of the greatest size and importance so far. From our point of view, these were three separate orders.
On the order of the Ministry of Defense of the Czech Republic, we designed and built an exposition of the chemical defense of NATO member countries. We solved the task with a building from the OCTANORM system with an area of 500 m2 including facilities, technical equipment and furniture. We built others for the US Embassy 500 m2 of soundproof offices and meeting spaces that served President Bush and the entire American delegation.
At the same time as the aforementioned events, the interiors of the Prague Congress Center were being renovated. In this case, the contracting authority was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. Our task was to realize the project of architects Borchardt and partner.
