The Edge

The Engerth heap is a remnant of mining activity in the northern part of Kladno. The site is now abandoned and its potential has not yet been exploited. What kind of future does it deserve? The aim is to bring playfulness to the site and make people's stay in nature more enjoyable. We connect the city to nature, leaving successional areas to connect to the nearby forest. A concrete path runs through the space, with a sharp edge, which is one of the main elements of the design and it refers to the history of the area. The design is not just a journey through the landscape...it is an invitation to explore, to play, to slow down and to reflect. A place where the rawness of the industrial past meets the return of nature and where everyone, big or small, can find their own adventure.
