NEW ŽIŽKOV CENTRE

A concept of an intelligent and sensitive ‘city centre’ to attract people based upon communal courtyards, new street typologies and towers delivering a new social and cultural landscape and a rich variety of forms and accommodation.

Centred on the concept of three residential courtyards and three towers, our proposals are:

1.    Diverse in scale and typology
2.    Permeable and connected
3.    Adaptable and programmable
4.    Green and inclusive
5.    Attractive and experiential
6.    Promoting health and wellbeing 

We must give poetry to the pragmatic and beauty and emotion to make architecture enigmatic. 

Raising architecture beyond commodity is the role of the architect working collaboratively with the client, fellow professionals and the future users. 

Architecture must reach the senses and so, through the mind all that we have planned will build an earthly paradise to reach and touch the heart. 

Success is the perpetual feeling of enchantment, the part where poetry in architecture lifts the spirits of the users.
