Brief

Trnava

Trnava has a unique character that is linked to its scale and compactness. We want Quarter to be a city of short distances and at the same time integrally connected to the existing city and the surrounding landscape. The issue of landscape, green and blue infrastructure was extremely important to us when preparing the brief. For a city on flat land, unprotected against constant winds, surrounded by industrial agriculture, with almost no existing elements of natural landscape, low groundwater levels and the negative acoustic impact of the ring road, a fundamental improvement of ecological stability is a matter of survival for the future.

Mobility

This should go hand in hand with a paradigm shift in the transportation sector. If we want Trnava to be a pleasant city to live in, well-functioning, safe and active, we need to realise that transportation planning based on foundations laid in the middle of the last century is completely unsustainable in the long term. Traffic-collapsing cities around the world have already discovered that unless they focus on promoting sustainable alternative transport, no improvement can be expected on the streets. Only if we can focus significantly more on safe pedestrian transport, seamless fast cycling, a comfortable and flawlessly functioning public transport system, a flexible and scalable logistics system, only then can we prepare the transport package as a whole in a balanced way for the future.

Public spaces

We are all also aware of the high value of land. We should therefore think about how to use it most effectively. What would vast mono-functional, semi-privatised areas of parking lotsstatic transport bring us and what, on the other hand, can a widely-used democratic high-quality public space bring us? Can we make better use of land if we save on extensive paved areas and rather devote them to green spaces, playgrounds, or more efficient development?

Vision

Trnava is fortunate that there are many examples of good practice that can give us answers to many of the questions we are asking ourselves in preparing the future Quarter neighbourhood. It is therefore the city’s task now to set the best possible framework for the decades of development that are coming to the area, and we believe that dozens and dozens of private landowners will be able, in close cooperation with the local government, to gradually build a new high-quality city that will be fully prepared for the 21st century.

WORKSHOPS

Good outcomes are the result of good instructions – therefore, the process of preparation of this competition takes the form of a dialogue from its beginning. The series of four workshops for individual topics has become a rich source of expert inputs for various city-building topics.
