In a group studio project, we addressed the urban planning aspects of a proposed underground railway route in Brno, Czech Republic. After establishing the line's trajectory, we shifted to individual assignments, where each student designed a specific station and its immediate urban context. The studio’s collective output is compiled in a book, which is available for browsing at the bottom of this page. My specific focus was the Konečného náměstí station.

In a group studio project, we addressed the urban planning aspects of a proposed underground railway route in Brno, Czech Republic. After establishing the line's trajectory, we shifted to individual assignments, where each student designed a specific station and its immediate urban context. The studio’s collective output is compiled in a book, which is available for browsing at the bottom of this page. My specific focus was the Konečného náměstí station.
Konečného náměstí serves as a key urban point and a major transportation hub. The immediate vicinity hosts a wide range of educational institutions—from kindergartens to vocational colleges—resulting in a high concentration of people of diverse ages and needs.
Walking distance:
Although Konečného náměstí is a vital transport hub, the central park itself feels underutilized and somewhat desolate. Surrounded by busy streets, the noise and traffic discourage people from lingering. Through daily observation, I noticed that most pedestrians merely bypass the park rather than using it as a place to rest. The benches are frequently occupied by homeless individuals, and the space is generally overlooked. Despite its inherent potential, the park remains largely dormant.
Proposed site plan:
My goal is to revitalize this park and unlock its inherent potential. I propose a sunken park design, lowering the space below street level to create a sheltered, tranquil environment for rest and social interaction. While preserving its green character, I am introducing amenities such as public restrooms, a café, a pastry shop, and street food stalls to serve both commuters and locals.
Access is provided from several directions: two landscaped seating stairs lead down from Veveří Street, while an accessible ramp surrounded by greenery connects from Úvoz Street. The southeastern side features a slide and a children's climbing wall integrated into the slope. Public restrooms are located on the northern side. An underpass leads from the park beneath Veveří Street, housing a café. This area is also accessible from the opposite side of the street via an elevator and staircase within the Tivoli building. An additional station entrance is located on the southern side of Veveří Street.
