Jested Telecommunications Tower and Hotel - Cold War Modern from Victoria & Albert Museum on Vimeo.
"Designed in 1963, the hotel and telecommunications tower on top of Ještěd mountain are one of the most extraordinary architectural achievements of the entire Eastern Bloc. A piece of bravura engineering on a very difficult site, the cone-shaped tower continues the profile of the mountain to a perfect vertical point. The theme of space travel is reinforced by decorative meteorites set into theconcrete core inside."
I've added this to my list of 'places to visit before I die'!
