Garden city

Housing cannot be simplified to its sole function of living. It must be extended to the relationship to its place and environment. What is the relationship of a person (inhabitant) to the space of his living? How to live? How to live differently? What is housing today and what can be predicted of its development? How can we, the architects, seek a solution to this seemingly banal housing problem in the current context? In the new territory of the South Center of Brno, in connection with the new railway station, large areas have been freed up, which make it possible to organize the urban structure of the new stop. The garden city is one of its designed parts. The new housing environment is offered in the expansion of the city center in the scale of the city district. Living in a garden city is not only a link to natural elements but also an opportunity to restore direct relations to the place of work and to the place of living and other forms of urban living. The work is based on an urban study prepared by the association Ivan Koleček - Pavel Jura architects Lausanne - Brno
