The Brno City Chief Architect‘s Office (KAM) is the main conceptual workplace of Brno in the field of architecture, urban planning and city design. We work on a new land-use plan, we design urban and transport studies, we prepare architectural and urban competitions, we participate in the creation of cultivated streets, squares and parks. At the same time, we strive to involve the general public in issues related to the city’s development. KAM’s task is to positively influence the development of Brno for future generations.
The exhibition, opened from 22. 3. to 9. 4. at the House of the Lords of Kunštát, presents the results of an open landscape architecture competition for transforming the House of Arts’s surroundings, announced by the Brno City Chief Architect’s Office on 9 September 2022. On display are all seven proposals considered by the jury of experts on 15 and 16 December 2022.
What have they already managed to change and plan? What are the projects, events and visions offered by the City Chief Architect’s Office? Come and find yourselves in the middle of the action, inside the clouds of perceptions of the daily work on the development and transformation of the city of Brno. Surrounded by large-format sheets of paper undulating in space along with your movement. The city is not a machine, but a living organism that is constantly evolving together with its inhabitants. Just like in reality, the exhibition will offer diverse views and perceptions from different angles. This will take place right in the Procházka Hall of the House of Arts, with a view of the everyday street bustle.
