The competition aims to find a framework for a new design of Mariánské square and its surroundings, which should become a valuable space for the local community and a dignified centre of Komárov.
The subject of the competition is to propose an urban concept for the area surrounding Mariánské square (Mariánské náměstí). The follow-up commission will consist of a technical study (with the level of detail and structure corresponding to an urban study, including public consultations), which will serve as the basis for the final regulatory urban study. The preparation of the binding urban study as an official urban planning document will subsequently fall under the responsibility of the City of Brno.
The goal of the proposal is to create a city that primarily serves its local residents. Key locations may be approached with bolder urban interventions, including the introduction of new developments. The proposal must emphasize realistic solutions and demonstrate respect for private ownership.
