The designs drawn up by students Sara Vajbara, Filip Kubala, Eliška Spáčilová, Adam Zlatník, Lucie Čukanová, Kamil Furiš, Nina Hroteková, Hana Čechvalová, Gabriela Trojková, Barbora Plačková, Tereza Nováková, Zuzana Březová and Eva Všetečková restore the original historical qualities of the site and create a high-quality and functional shared public space connecting the two new museums. The exhibition presents a total of four proposals for the two museums and the redevelopment of the Fish Market Square.
The first proposal focuses on the restoration of the public spaces of the Fish Market and the creation of a shared public space between the two museums, with an emphasis on greenery, a fountain and urban furniture for seating and gathering. The second proposal renovates the Deanery and St Elizabeth's Chapel buildings and emphasises the spiritual atmosphere of the site through conceptual light work. The other two designs present variations of a technology museum, including the integration of the original historic electricity substation, the most valuable parts of the exhibit, and the combination of the old building with new structures for an experimental outdoor space."
"We thank the city leadership for this opportunity. We believe that the students' proposals will help to open up the discussion on the topic and allow the wider public to get involved in the whole process, while at the same time bringing to the attention of all residents the possibility of addressing this important space of the city in the context of presenting the unique museum heritage that Opava has the opportunity to present to its visitors in this way, thus becoming a lively, colourful and popular place for residents and visitors," says the head of the studio Jiří Palacký
The commission for the adaptation of two important historical buildings and the adjacent public space in the city centre in September 2023 was created in collaboration between architects Jiří Palacký and Zuzana Tomková and Petr Stanjura, Head of the Department of the Chief Architect of the City of Opava, and Professor Pavel Šopák, who deals with the issue of museums within the framework of the research project The Contribution of Art and Technology Museums to Economic Development and Educational Culture.
