Under the ceiling and under the tree

Beautiful, but grimy. The parks and green spaces are large and uninhabited, lacking character. This work redefines and transforms them, proposing a direction for the sparsely developed upper part of Smíchov. Along with defining the spaces, the project adds housing, education, and jobs. I leave my apartment in a nineteenth-century tenement, take the stroller, buy a snack at the market, and pick up a book from the library. A garden in a hollow, picking up my child from school. A crowd gathers around the Bundt cake. We peek inside through the glass and head into the shadow of the arcade. Two crossings, a park. We pause by the gallery on the swing, then through the underpass to the waterfront. Watch out for the bike! On the pier, I hold my child’s hand and wave to the boats.
