Efforts to save part of the historic building No. 34 in the Baťov area in Zlín ended in failure. Even despite the efforts of experts, architects and conservationists, it was not possible to find a way to preserve the northeastern part of the building safely. Demolition work on the remaining torus will get under way again on Monday 7 September and is expected to take around a week.

Experts say that not even a part of the burned-out 34th building in the former Bata site in Zlín can be saved. Demolition will therefore continue on Monday. It is expected that the remaining torso will be removed by a hired company within the following week.

According to experts, not even a part of the burned-out 34th building in the former Bata site in Zlín can be preserved, so demolition will continue on Monday. It is expected that the rest of the torso should be removed by the hired company within the next week, said Cream's marketing and communications director Marcel Schmidt.

Together with prominent architects, artists and with the support of heritage conservation, Cream was looking for a way to preserve part of the burned-out building in the Zlín factory complex as an authentic reminder of its history and Bata architecture. On Friday, an expert group decided that the northeastern fragment of the building could not be safely preserved. Therefore, demolition will continue on Monday.
