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
