In cooperation with the architectural studio Knesl + Kynčl, we invited five top representatives of contemporary world architecture. They accepted our invitation:

MVRDV - Netherlands
Kengo Kuma & Associates - Japan
Cino Zucchi Architetti - Italy
Bjarne Ingels Group - Denmark

The great Swiss studio Herzog & de Meuron promised to participate in the competition, but eventually cancelled due to time constraints.

The competition began on 1 February 2022 and the winning design is expected to be announced in early September this year. The nine-member jury is headed by Czech architecture legend Ing. arch. Josef Pleskot.

The new house should be built on a plot of land that has long been reserved for the construction of public amenities in the current zoning plan and is located on Brno's Okružní třída opposite the Grand Hotel, where a temporary parking lot is now located.
The site is directly connected to the historical Jewish presence in Brno; it is only a few hundred metres from the only existing synagogue in Brno on Skořepka and from the site of the Great Synagogue. And just as far away is the site of the very first synagogue, on the site of today's St. Mary Magdalene Church.
