Children's Village

The Children’s Village project is a temporary installation that transforms the Green Market into an interactive, festive space for families during the Christmas season. Inspired by traditional Wallachian architecture, the village uses natural materials such as wood and straw to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for children and adults alike. It offers various activities and opportunities for social interaction and educational experiences. This project shows how temporary interventions can have a significant cultural and social impact even over a short period of time. The Children’s Village project is not just an aesthetic experience, but has a deeper goal of bringing tranquility, natural aesthetics and inspiration to an urban space. Using traditional Wallachian building elements combined with modern designs, it creates a space that is not just for children, but for all who want to engage in play, creation and relaxation. This installation aims to bring a piece of nature and simplicity to Brno, and not only during the Christmas season. Our goal is to make public spaces places that bring people together, inspire creativity and foster relationships, contributing to the overall quality of urban life. Projects like the Children’s Village have the potential to inspire other cities to rethink how they design and use public spaces.Upon entering the Village, visitors are greeted by an entrance gate. At the top of the square is a children’s marketplace of traditional stalls and a bell tower. The existing trees with benches are complemented by a children’s workshop and a crib, which serve as spaces for play and creation. The barn is filled with forest trees and the mystical installation Golden Wood by sculptor Veronika Plátková.
