Green Infrastructures for Diverse Users

FA-GIU-WEAcad. year: 2024/2025

The Workshop’s goal is to research and program the Kravi Hora area in Brno from the perspective of multi-user accessibility of urban green infrastructures. It identifies the main modes of mobilities and of boundaries, which define the status quo uses of the area; and, based on this, develops an integrative program for a more accessible and transparent deliberated green public space. Mobilities are understood broadly - including varieties of human uses; movement of plants, seeds and species; distribution of urban services; outdoor civic extension of adjacent institutions, etc.

The research and design process is aimed to integrate the outdoor public program of Brno University of Technology campus, different statuses of the green infrastructures in the area (and their multi-scalar connections), different user groups and formative practices of the present open spaces, the existing property rights and the delineation practices (with the special focus on the allotment gardens and their uses), as well as legal-administrative stakeholders. The anticipated result of the design phase is a program for more transparent and intensively used green space.

During the 5 day workshop, students will scrutinise Kravi Hora as a multifunctional area in Brno. The investigation will be organised in formats of lectures, workshops, as well as supervised research and design work.

The workshop is organised in partnership by Faculty of Architecture Brno University of Technology, European Humanities University, and the University of Wroclaw. Cooperation of three universities will offer students a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and improving cities.
