„...searching and redescovering“
Searching for the possible points of reference; perceiving; understanding; and creatively reimagining the urban environment: these are the steps that define the process of urban design. But the very medium is graphic design that allows us to interpret urban reality in a particular way, focusing the attention to what the designer considers to be important while keeping less important things blurry. For this reason Barbora’s obvious graphical excellence is not only a tool to convey the design content, rather her methodology for „searchnig and redescovering“.
This graphical language allows Barbora to abstract and thematise the problem of the boundaries between the premodern and modern vocabulary of the inner and peripherial part of the city. These skills help her to link the more abstract, macro levels of the design concept to the more specific, micro spaces of the urban environment. This sensibility helps her to create her meta langugae that can seemlessly fill in the gaps, but at the same time, her grammar can refrase this line of urban spaces into one coherent narrative.
Even if some of her design decisions might be found debatable, her personal approach and perspective places her plan among the best ones of this competition.
