From the rich program of this year's Day of Architecture, we select a pair of events prepared by the small municipality of Ostopovice, whose zoning plan is based on a proposal by the Prague studio Pavla Hnilička from 2020. In recent years, with the help of architects, it has been possible to improve public spaces and create quality facilities for social life. The Tuesday tour of communal spaces and public buildings will begin in front of the town hall, where architect Tomáš Rusín from the RAW studio will present not only the completed modifications of the square near the Chapel of St. John the Baptist, but also the planned modifications of the waterworks space behind the chapel. The tour will then move to the local elementary and kindergarten school, which was reconstructed in 2013 by spouses Eva and Zdeněk Eichler, who will now present the further expansion of the elementary school and the daily center for local seniors, which is expected to start as early as next spring. The conclusion of the joint walk will be at the newly completed municipal library, which will be personally introduced by Petr Všetečka and Robert Václavík from the Brno studio Transat.
