Ještěd in the cage 16 - winning project
Jan Kurz - Novohradský Pilgrimage Landscape
diploma thesis in the studio of Suchánek/Janoš
How to find and materialize the identity of a specific landscape? How to learn to read it? And how to suggest its future? In searching for answers to these and other questions, you will find that it is not possible to use common tools for mapping or urban planning tools that create structural, territorial, and regulatory plans. The answer should be an idea graspable by all who resonate closely with that landscape as well as those who learn about it only by hearsay. But is it even possible to present something like that?
The Novohradské mountains are perceived by the surroundings as a place with beautiful nature. However, the people who live here and have a deeper relationship with them know of places that you can hardly find on maps today, which evoke various impressions and feelings in each of them. Should we work with those places or let them disappear completely? And what can they be important for cultural wealth?
What is the scale and pace of the landscape? What is landscape anyway? What does the term "home" mean, what "region," and what are boundaries good for? How to protect what is dear to us other than through legislative means? And how to avoid creating a museum piece, but rather a human landscape, one close to nature and suitable for living and working?
This book should help in searching for answers, but it may create many more questions. So take it as an opportunity for reflection and walk through the landscape that is one of many yet unique.
