Saving Schindler’s Ark Competition , Brněnec / Tschechische Republik

 

INSPIRELI AWARDS z.u.

Department of Architecture at CVUT in Prague

Thákurova 7, 166 29 Praha 6

 

The subject of the competition is a design for the transformation of Schindler’s Ark’s premises where 1200 Jews on Schindler’s List were saved into a Museum of Survivors. The vision is to create a memorial to survivors and preserve the legacy of Schindler’s Ark, as well as to create a modern museum dedicated to survivors. At the same time, the South side of the premises will be reconstructed as sustainable, community housing to meet the needs of the region. The sustainability of the project is supported by combining a museum of survivors, a large workshop for jobs including textiles, and prototype modern, sustainable housing to fit the community needs.

 

The Schindler’s Ark competition consists of two categories: 1st is the exterior and interior of the Museum of Survivor’s (focus on the interior), 2nd is the prototype, sustainable living village in the South area of the premises.

 

Architectural, student, non-anonymous, open, aiming at students from around the world without restrictions.
