REVITALISATION OF THE OLD TOWN SQUARE / MLADA BOLESLAV

We were asked by the autorities of the city of Mlada Boleslav to prepare a concept of revitalising the old city centre. Instead of a huge parking place we designed a public place with outdoor furniture, water elements, statues and a support for inhabitants and local trademen. The parking was displaced under ground.

Traditional and local materials were used - reapplied basalt paving stones, local granite, cor-ten steel, wood and water.
