The concept is of a new 21^st century park area so that the essential park function of urban greenery will be supplemented by a relax-and-stay public green area, usable throughout the year with cultural and social functions enabled through new technologies.

The intervention should lead to introduction of facade design regulations.

We imagine the streets as veins, while the blood cells are people moving using different means of transport, but mainly on foot.

Let us apply our metaphor to Pribinova street, an important connection between…

Externally, it is manifested for example by lots of cafes, urban-style centers (with coffee accompanied by an occasional lecture, debate, or an event on urban theme), markets, occupying not only marketplaces but also streets and community gardens, professional debates and events on the urban, architectural, urbanism-like…
