It allows movement and residence. It is a dynamically repeating cycle of seasonal activities. It is a chance to embrace the productive landscape in itself. To become an educational element in…

A simple and technically easily implementable intervention is to run a dedicated City Data Catalogue for people to find information easily.

The data is often (and rightly) linked from the city website. On the other hand, in recent years people could have noticed the data catalogue of the SR (http://data.gov.sk/), as well as similar catalogues of other cities:

- Vienna: https://open.wien.at/site/datenkatalog/

By means of field and landscape design we can answer the issue of flooding of road crossings and define grassy islands, purposeless so far. We give a space to…

Due to cars parked along the roadside, the sidewalk is so narrow that whenever two or more pedestrians walk in opposite directions, one has to step over the curb onto a trampled path that has completely destroyed the grass there. The urban intervention would consist of covering this particular part of…
