Schindler’s Ark, Brněnec
Student focussed design competition to create a memorial museum and sustainable living village at Schindler's historic ark building in Czechia.
Organised by Inspireli Awards with the Department of Architecture at CVUT in Prague, the subject of the competition is a design for the transformation of Schindler’s Ark’s premises where 1200 Jews on Schindler’s List were saved into a Museum of Survivors. The vision is to create a memorial to survivors and preserve the legacy of Schindler’s Ark, as well as to create a modern museum dedicated to survivors. At the same time, the South side of the premises will be reconstructed as sustainable, community housing to meet the needs of the region. The sustainability of the project is supported by combining a museum of survivors, a large workshop for jobs including textiles, and prototype modern, sustainable housing to fit the community needs.
