 '''Social Goegraphy of the Prague Region - Chapter 2, J.Temelová: The Reflection of Globalization in non-housing estate in Prague after 1990, Charles University in Prague, 2006'''
-*Temelová studies the topic from an architectural point of view. After the political transformation in 1989 Prague became attractive for foreign investors in realty. The trend of constructing non-housing buildings in a way that shows global success threatens the local landscape patterns as well as traditional know-how and uniqueness. This paper describes two parallel tendencies in design: uniform/ordinary projects and interesting/unusal ones.

The trend of constructing non-housing buildings in a way that shows global success threatens the local landscape patterns as well as traditional know-how and uniqueness. This paper describes two parallel tendencies in design: uniform/ordinary projects and interesting/unusal ones.The former occur more in suburban areas and aims at masses, whereas the latter are located closer to the centre, represent luxury at aim at wealthy customers. Besides these, Temelová mentiones the phenomenon of huge areas around Prague with no architecture at all - stores, logistic centres etc.<br>
+*I find this source very inspiring and enriching, because I haven´t though of the role of architecture in my study case before, so it provides new ideas for me. Shame that it doesnt include much conflict (eg. the question of landuse possibilities, whether all the new shopping and office yards were are neccessary)
