2025 "Dědictví budoucnosti"
8th year of Open House Brno opens up mysterious places on May 17 and 18, 2025. It will focus on the legacy of the futureWhat urban and architectural treasures have previous generations preserved for Brno, what legacy will the present leave on the face of the city, and what can we imagine under the concept of intergenerational dialogue in architecture. These are the main themes of the eighth year of the architecture and urbanism festival Open House Brno with the subtitle Future Heritage.
„The city is a living and constantly changing organism with its residents, buildings, and spatial organization. Each generation leaves its mark on the shape of the city, and our ambition for 2025 is to draw the attention of festival visitors not only to valuable buildings, whose qualities have stood the test of time and have been recognized by heritage conservation, but also to buildings and public spaces that so far stand somewhat aside from attention. In the upcoming year, we also want to give space to people from creative professions to capture the genius loci of Brno and map the ways in which different generations of architects have reacted to each other, developed interesting solutions, or positioned themselves against their predecessors,“ explains the intentions of the festival's creative director, Lucie Pešl Šilerová from the Culture & Management Association.
