Goricia - Mládež na hranici

For us, "Goricia Youth on the Border" is not just an architectural competition in which architecture becomes a tool for healing the past. Our proposal goes beyond architecture, which is conditioned by buildings as such. In architecture, the art of making space, and buildings are often considered the only tool of this art. The opposite is true, and in our proposal, we work with topography, vegetation, and trees that become architectural and social tools to create a new urbanity. We use nature, a tool often neglected by architecture, to rethink the past, to re-describe it.
The urbanity of nature is a specific form of collective coexistence organized on a regular network of trees in a grid of 8 x 8 m that creates a new form of public space to play in. The new park, by its scale, allows for individual stay, and in the spaces with tree discharge, gathering places are created which, according to their size, allow the common use of these spaces.
