Erläuterungstext
The winning project for the reconstruction of square in Ceska Lipa abstractly interprets the historical footprint of the former church
With its own specific character lively but peaceful atmosphere, the square act as space where regular markets or other social gatherings take place. The individual elements of the proposal are designed according to the current needs for public spaces while taking into consideration the historical development of the area and its potential.
Church abstraction
The main focus of the proposal is the central open space which is designed for social and cultural events. The former church which changed its appearance and footprint several times for its duration was an historical dominant of the square. We do not literally follow the historical footprint of former objects but recall their presence using the differentiation of paving formats. Gradual clustering of the paving formats enables a flat surface for holding markets.
Grid of trees
The free space of the square is complemented by a group of trees casting pleasing shadows on the seating spots. The grid of trees is discontinued on the site of the former dean's house which enables holding minor social events.
Green belt
There is a designed space for the outside seating of local cafés, wine bars and restaurants along the perimeter of the square, complemented by a green border of petty trees. The alleys lead to the pair of majestic plane trees, creating an imaginary structural gate while optically closing the space of the square at its height level, altogether welcoming potential visitors to enter.
The species selection of trees enables variability to the square for the whole year. The proposal emphasises longevity and ability to adapt to different conditions and demands of the square.
Authors: M2AU office in cooperation with Musalek architekt and landscape architect Lydia Suslikova.

Beurteilung durch das Preisgericht
Porota výslovně kladně hodnotí dobře využitelný, dostatečně velký víceúčelový prostor v rovinaté části náměstí a kvalitní výtvarné zachycení historické stopy kostela, zvonice a děkanského domu. Doporučuje zároveň doplnit náměstí o výraznější vodní prvek a další mobiliář včetně laviček s opěrkami. Koncepčně správné dopravní řešení náměstí by se mělo přepracovat tak, aby ulice Prokopa Holého fungovala obousměrně. Porota dále oceňuje jednoduché materiálové řešení a dobrý přístup k modrozelené infrastruktuře. Schodiště u ulice Jindřicha z Lipé je vhodně doplněno o dvojici platanů. Pro následující dopracování porota dále doporučuje zvážit zachování stávajících hodnotných stromů a revidovat umístění nových s ohledem na archeologické vykopávky, stejně jako jejich druhový výběr tak, aby potvrdily pobytový ráz náměstí.
