The park on the Moravian Square has become a new vibrant place, establishing its own poetics of peace and action, starkly contrasting the city’s constant commotion and traffic. The project represents a comprehensive approach to revitalising a heavily frequented public space in Brno’s historic centre, meeting the demands of the 21st century. It incorporates the blue-green infrastructure elements, environmental sustainability requirements and biodiversity, co-creating community, and embracing inclusivity.
“Based on urban, architectural, landscape, and social connections, we decode the territory. The resulting design makes the park accessible and preserves its original landscape values. The concept is spatially dominated by the void in the center of the park with its cultural and social potential and a defined ring of mature trees, which we complement but also make accessible through a circular promenade with a café and a playground. Various intensities of use are one of the fundamental principles of the concept, where the area around the café and the central space assumes the highest load, gradually diminishing towards the outer edge. The promenade under the canopies of mature trees offers tranquility, while the central area provides space for various activities and play“, Martin Sládek, Janica Šipulová.
