In the scale of the whole city, re-vision encourages internal city development - urban recycling instead of extensive expansion beyond its edge building up on green land which now has a negative impact on raising congestion and the concept of a 15-minute city. In the scale of Nové Dvory district, re-vison aims to find a symbiosis between both urban patterns which define new streets and public space network dividing the estate into smaller clusters maintaining long-term sustainable development of re-vision by its phasing. In the scale of the housing estate itself, the main focus in terms of public space (life between buildings) is on quality instead of quantity. Adding new architecture helps to activate streets and public space in between buildings contributing to social interactions, enriching the scope of functions creating new workplaces, sports venues, leisure time areas, public playgrounds as well as amenities and retail space. Re-visin concept enhances the essence of an existing housing estate in terms of the garden city concept with maxima permeability for pedestrians. Space between buildings forming a cluster is designed with an emphasis on diverse green semi-public to semi-private space with occasional private back gardens belonging to newly merged duplex apartments added with community houses contributing to neighborhood activities.

Waterfront changes into mysterious forrest theme from which emerge dramatic st. Jacobs torrents. The wild waves mass dynamically forms complex orchestral tones. Majestic brass mass of main Hall embodies monumentality of Prague. The volume of water Hall protrudes over the river like mighty rock of Vyšehrad.
“The asymmetry between the scale of architectural form and the overwhelming vastness of the urban scale provoked some architects to elaborate architectural form toward the possibility of being not a general rule but an example for the city. In this way, each architectural intervention is bound to a conceptual continuity that transforms the episodic nature […]
