            <description><![CDATA[It will soon be almost 30 years since our operation ended. After long debates
and disputes, we became a heritage site and an essential part of the panorama of
Ostrava. Yet in many ways, we have remained slightly outside the main
events. But this is about to change!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We are Blast Furnaces No. 4 and 6. For decades, we stood here with our flames
burning day and night. But in September 1998, our fire finally went out. And
with it came a big question: what would happen to us and to the entire Vítkovice
complex?]]></description>

stood through all the crucial decisions our republic has faced since 1948, for

            <description><![CDATA[It was Sunday morning at 8.30 a.m. and a glowing stream of pig iron began to
roll under the blast furnace No. 1 at the Vítkovice Ironworks, accompanied by a
sizzle of hot sparks as it had so many times before. A blast was taking place
under the furnace. This time, however, it was different, it was watched by 1,200
employees, it was 27 September 1998 and this blast was the last ever in
Vítkovice.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Anyone who has traveled through the Czech countryside knows them – tall dark
blue cylinders rising high, displaying the iconic logo of the Vítkovice
Ironworks, clearly announcing a place associated with agriculture. These are the
enameled tower silos and tanks known as "Vítkovice" — symbols of agricultural
industry of our countryside.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[An iconic silhouette that has become part of the city’s, region’s, and even a
university’s emblem; a structure that locals inherently perceive as part of
their identity; a national cultural heritage and a building nominated for entry
on the UNESCO World Heritage List. All of this describes a single building that
has crowned the summit of Ještěd Mountain above the northern Czech city of
Liberec since 1973 – the Ještěd Hotel and Television Transmitter.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[On Friday, the whole SINCERE consortium visited us in person.

It was great to meet the people that develop the materials that will be placed
on our facades.



While discussing the application of the SINCERE materials, a heavy rain forced
everyone to enter inside!



We were really happy that for once we were treated as real buildings protecting
humans from nature.]]></description>
