CITY BY THE RAILWAY
SS 2025
The picturesque railway line from Karlovy Vary to Mariánské Lázně has been in operation since 1898. Spanning 53 kilometers, the track winds through the protected area of Slavkovský les, featuring seven tunnels and twenty-two bridges. This line is recognized by "The Guardian" as one of the ten most beautiful railway routes in Europe. Along its route, the line connects numerous small settlements that lack essential amenities such as schools, kindergartens, cultural buildings, and housing. The goal of this project is to thoughtfully design these missing structures and integrate them with the railway line, creating a cohesive and vibrant community. The aim is also to revitalize this beautiful but overlooked region. Each student will be responsible for designing one building or a group of buildings. The project encourages collaboration and is suitable for students at all levels and across various disciplines (urban planning, architectural ensembles, civil engineering, residential buildings, open-ended projects, and bachelor project preparation).
The first meeting is on 17 February at 2:15 p.m. in Room 703.
