Pre-existences and conditions
- north bohemian village with strong agro-industrial tradition
- a cooperative in process of renovation with many properties and plots along the village
- the idea of the investors is to renovate and revitalize all properties adding a social value
- the project will take more than 20 years to develop
Concept and solution
- the complete village is treated like a thematic or national park with focus on agriculture and tradition
- first a catalogue of all existing assets is made: historical, natural, industrial, infrastructures, etc.
- a 'loop' is design to connect all parts (like a necklace); 'a sequence of events'
- different means of ecological transport will be available all along the municipality reducing the use of cars
- creating points of interest the village will attract visitors and increase the quality of living
- new complementary services and functions are added; accommodation, leisure, educational, etc.
- the design of the loop, the stations, pavilion and signals will bring sense of unity
