VMG

The Křižná Primary School is the largest primary school in the town of Valašské Meziříčí and is located close to the center. It is currently attended by 636 children in the 1st and 2nd grades. The school’s sports hall has long been inadequate for today’s requirements for sports education, and the town has been planning to build a new sports hall to supplement the need for sports facilities. The city has therefore decided to merge these two needs and locate the new hall on the school grounds, where it would serve not only the needs of the school but also the city outside of school hours. Therefore, the new hall aims to provide suitable sports facilities for primary school children and to offer the public a space for training and sports.

Jury

Jury Chair

After five years in Vienna, she and her partner founded the architectural office consequence forma, based in Brno. Their connection to the Viennese architectural scene has led to collaboration on various projects, such as BKK-3 in Regensburg, Germany. An integral part of the architectural studio is a focus on quality urbanism and public space, where a precise analysis of the existing environment defines future change.
