Revitalization of Ješutovo Square and Square II. odboje in Bystřice

The design's main goal is to create a pleasant place to stay, clearly define the role of both Bystřice squares, and design adequately spacious open spaces for mass social activities and attractive places for intimate gatherings in the shade of trees. We want to revitalize and make the city center more attractive by completing the missing functional townhouses in the gaps, an ingenious spatial concept, the use of quality stone paving, selecting suitable trees, and attractive accents and furniture elements to the public space.

A convincing, complex, and unifying solution of both parts of the square, material solution of missing volumes (sensitive completion of the blocks), adequate content of individual spaces, thoughtful topography. The greenery concept is professionally based, confirms the existing high-quality mature trees, and establishes a new landscape composition. Happy is also the new location of the statue of St. Jan Nepomucký. We like the detail of the compositional division of the paving. Functionally, it is necessary to highlight the transport solution, realistic acceptance of the traffic load by road 2nd class, smart traffic solutions at rest, pedestrians' movement, and cyclists. We appreciate the axonometric schemes of variants of use, by which the design is tested from the point of view of spatial organization and graphically well presented. From the point of view of the construction and technical solution, it is possible to highlight rainwater treatment. The surfaces are designed from quality materials; the ratio of paved and unpaved surfaces is optimal.

The design's basis is a straightforward vision of the transformation of the square space into a clear and clearly graspable whole. In particular, this concerns the relocation of transit traffic, which cannot be fixed by new investments. We take for granted the future completion of the block and the square's paving to the modified border of the park. Newly planted tree lines line the urban space together with the park and create a pleasant green arcade for residents and visitors' movement to the village. The united space, through which we can move freely and safely, is called Ješutovo Square. This square advantageously has an open paved area, but also a quiet zone - Park II. odboje. Long live!

A conservative, solid, and elaborate project, nevertheless, unfortunately, less realistic from a certain point of view. The main stumbling block is the cancellation of transit traffic in the first stage. We appreciate the nobility of the original image of the square with the help of quality and proven solutions, both in material, composition, and landscape. A certain weakness seems to be the formal solution of the park on Ješutovo náměstí, which forces the user to move and use the square only in a certain way. The solution for the completion of the block is very nice.

We understand the reconstruction of the square as an opportunity to define the center of Bystřice and lift it from the current transport hub to the main living space of the city, full of activities and services. We propose to include Syllabova Street and its connection to the brook behind the church in the solved area. By connecting, we create a smooth public space with a changing character and scale, different uses, and traffic levels - from a purely urban stone square through a park and a pedestrian street resembling a village square after sitting by the water.

A sensitive proposal, which, unfortunately, has not been fully completed. The transport solution is relatively suitable, but it pushes the problem out of the territory. There is no transport service to square II. odboje. The material solution is interesting, but as a result, recombined and not always used appropriately. The hierarchy of spaces in Ješutova náměstí is freely composed, on the contrary in náměstí II. resistance, the proposed composition is incomprehensible, which is reflected, among other things, in the ambiguous design of the gazebo/stop. The landscaping solution is sensitive in preserving high-quality greenery and adding new trees.
