Built in Prague's New Town district in 1926, the Edison Transformation station exemplifies the functionalist style that emerged across Central Europe in the interwar period. Designed by architects František Albert Libra and Ladislav Lábus, the factory embodies the era's commitment to rational, efficient design stripped of ornament. The building served the city's growing electrical infrastructure as functionalism gained influence among Czech architects seeking modern forms suited to industrial purpose.
