Abstract

An archive is everything but definitive. It is the nature of every living collection and such a collection is a city as well. The project is an archive holding a collection of lost, disappeared or forgotten in the former centre of the textile industry in Brno. It is composed of physical urban artefacts discovered through a series of interventions. These proposed interventions will serve as a model in the area of the city burdened with a disturbing past and expecting blurred future. The graduation project is trying to embrace a wider social context by looking at the complexity of the environment and trying to capture the everyday practices that form the place. By looking at mundane and marginalized, the project elaborates inclusiveness that is present at current architectural discourse.
