SCHINDLER´S ARK SAVING

Project idea

The idea of the project is to raise public awareness of the events that took place in Brněnec during the Second World War by restoring the heritage of the Löw-Beer’s family. In addition, our goal was to create a residential complex to improve the quality of life in the village as well as to design new living facilities for potential new residents. Furthermore, we decided to develop a tourist complex in order to attract more visitors to the proposed historical museum and cultural center. Covering almost half of the village, our architectural project is aiming to reinvent Brněnec and make it a new drawing point for both locals and tourists.
