The Confluence Park project area southwest of the center of Prague is understood and reinterpreted as an ecological, social and economic reservoir. This new park-landscape not only noticeably reduces the CO2 balance of the city and the surrounding areas, but it is also en ecological leisure retreat for many users and a unique investment for a green future.
The jury highlighted the fact that this design is the least anthropocentric
and the most radical.
The concept for the new periurban park creates a unique natural landscape, characterized by wide-ranging watercourses, original pasture landscapes and newly expanded floodplain forests. The Confluence Park is rethought as a wilderness park-landscape that respects and expands the existing natural environment and biological ecosystems.
Existing infrastructures and built elements are integrated into this new type of landscape and supplemented by new future-oriented energy installations, including upwind power plants or solar farms. The result is a post-fossil experience landscape of a vast diversity; atmospherically similar to the images of classical landscape painting and yet a completely new type of active landscape that respects all layers of history.
Large-scale structures within the project area (like the golf course or industrial areas) help with the design and implementation of the project with their clear defined borders, acting as fixed parameters against the backdrop of a dynamic landscape park. Their presence in the landscape serves as an orientation point, as well as a historical anchoring of the park. The park itself is divided into many elements and areas, which relates to the small-scale nature of historical conditions of the project area.
