Competition to Address The Urbanistic Vision of Charles University in 2030

The projects should address the urbanistic vision  of the university in the period until 2030.

The university and the Student Union, which was the driving force behind the project, aim to have a student competition to assess various possibilities of the university's future development. The projects will be supervised by teachers from respective schools. The specifications of the competition will be suited to the needs of Charles University and coordinated with the City Development Authority Prague. Renowned Czech architects and professor of architecture and urbanism were be asked to be on the jury.
