how can
we catalyze
a 21st
century
livable city
?
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
reSITE is a major international platform to exchange ideas
about making cities more livable and competitive. We
aim to foster collaboration and social innovation between
disparate experts, politicians and the public. We care about
cities and public space because a nicer city is more livable
and competitive.
Based in Prague, we are the first organization in Central
and Eastern Europe who is bridging the gap between the
public and experts in four main fields: Design, Finance
and Development, Policy, and Community Advocacy. Our
long term goal is to encourage changes in urban planning
strategies that are more open, international and transparent.
We focus primarily on public space, waterfronts and
sustainable mobility as a means to a city that can compete
regionally and globally.
In June 2013, we organized the second-annual major
international conference at DOX Centre for Contemporary
Art. The energy of the conference and related events
represented a new generation of thinkers and doers in
Central Europe. reSITE Conference 2013 addressed the issue
of modernizing Prague and other post-communist / premodern cities of the CEE region. The conference focused on
providing solutions for politicians, citizens and investors; to
grow and yet weave in a complex past. We feel certain that
reSITE Conference 2013 catalyzed the public and business
community to influence positive changes. Furthermore, we
have begun discussing a closer partnership with the City of
Prague due to a very favourable review by politicians and
deputies at the conference. While we understand that the
political situation is unstable, we know there are leaders who
will answer the challenges of demanding business leaders and an electorate.
reSITE represents the future, as Jan Machacek contended in his weekly column in
Respekt after attending the conference. We are interested in inspiring businesses and a
young generation to change their cities; to understand quality architecture and urbanism
and to push their politicians to make Prague a competitive capital. At the conference,
several participants questioned the relevance of post-communism and looked past this
narrative to inspire a new vision of the city led by this new generation unburdened with
the inefficiencies of the past. This is exactly the conversation that reSITE is interested in
cultivatating.
The themes that parallel reSITE - architecture, politics, finance, planning, democracy they all meet when one thinks of public space. Discussions and targeted lectures from
international and local experts merged design, development and finance, government
and community participation. Moderators from around the world transitioned seamlessly
from one topic to the next. Why did we merge so many topics into one conference?
Simply put, the city is built this way. We cannot address urban planning and urban
design in an international and contemporary way without merging these disciplines and
instagating discussion. There has been overwhelming praise for the professionalism and
complexity that reSITE Confernce accomplished.
Speakers like Greg Lindsay (Fast Company Magazine) talked about innovation and
smarter work environments. Alex Washburn (City of New York) addressed finance,
zoning, sustainable and bottom-up / top-down urban planning. Adrian Benepe (City
of New York) talked about resiliency and Mayor Bloomberg’s goal of having a park
within a 10-minute walk of every New Yorker, because that is healthy for citizens and
good for real estate investment. We highlighted foreign expertise by having Kees
Christiaanese discuss urban planning at KCAP in Rotterdam. Enrique Penalosa brought
a 400-person audience nearly to a standing ovation, with a thundering applause for
his critique of democracy and his observations in the city of Prague. Winy Maas, the
world-famous architect from the Netherlands, talked about merging the past with the
future, but in an innovative way that stimulates controversial discussions about the cities
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
he works in. A special panel of experts like Gines Garrido
and Barbara Wilks talked about flooding and waterfront
investment ideas with local officials like Tomas Ctibor and
Pavla Melkova from the Prague Office for Public Space at
the City Development Authority. Nigel Atkins stimulated
discussion with his crtique of the Czech system while young
Slovak architects presented their community initiative that
started an urban market. Other international guests stressed
the importance of public/private partnerships to invest in
public infrastructure and public spaces. At the end of two
days of inspiring presentations, it was clear that these diverse
and experienced professionals have added significant value
into the cities they live and work in and they inspired the
audience. It was also clear that there is a tremendous hunger
for more information in the Czech Republic and the question
that endured after so many presentations, “why can’t we do
this here?”
The reality is that cities like Prague are uniquely positioned,
geographically and historically, to be very competitive and
livable cities. Speaking of competitiveness, there is no
correlation between the size of a city and how competitive
it is. Cities of all sizes can be competitive. Zurich, at 1.4mm
people for example, is in the top 10 most competitive cities
in the world, according to Citibank and The Economist
Intelligence Unit.
development. In the next year, we aim to increase the international exposure of reSITE
Conference in order to attract conferences guests from around the world. We bring the
energy and expertise that can catalyze social awareness and activity; to utilize citizens
to evolve the city to be a truly modern metropolis; and to also encourage politicians to
make better decisions for the future of their city.
reSITE will always investigate how to improve livability and competitiveness in cities. In
particular, we are interested in long term changes to city planning to foster openness,
transparency and quality in governance. We will always focus on waterfronts, mobility
and public spaces. The results of reSITE 2013 have been broadcast in local and
international media.
Over the next three years, reSITE is committed to exploring the real economic, social
and ecological value that international and sustainable urban design adds to cities.
Moving forward, we will hold two closed door conferences during the year. At these
events, we will form working groups in order to build consensus on new legislation and
new priorities to innovate and regenerate CEE cities. We will hold one main conference
that will attract people from all over the world. With offers to organize reSITE in other
cities such as Budapest, Krakow, Warsaw and Berlin we will consider how to maintain
quality, increase revenue and continue to add innovative content in other cities in the
region.
Thank you for your support of reSITE Conference in this very important year. We are
certain that the investment will be worth it in the near term as we build revenue and
market share of urbanism conferences in Europe.
Kind regards,
reSITE aims to be a symbol of informed awareness. In
our second year, we are now a leading expert voice in the
region about internationally significant urban planning and

Community Participation
“Looking at the strong statements and talks of this
year reSITE conference we are facing huge challenges
to manage the consequences of a growing population
in cities. The crisis, either caused by financial and
political mismanagement and thus social inequality,
must change the general attitude of urban policies
and secure the possibility of heterogeneous cities
in order to keep them interesting and alive. The
conference made very clear that these questions have
to be debated on a global level, yet the developed
models have to be realized on a very local level.”
- Florian Koehl, FAT Koehl Architects, Germany
"Ecological resiliency is important after a disaster,
but community resiliency can have even more to do
with how quickly an area bounces back."
- Barbara Wilks / W Architecture / New York
“Even if you don’t believe in climate change,
something is happening and it is dramatically
affecting our cities.”
- Adrian Benepe, City of New York
“In Prague, small changes are needed to begin the
process of transforming the city.”
- Tomas Ctibor, Prague City Development Authority
"What can architecture and urbanism do for
Europe?"
- Winy Maas / MVRDV / Rotterdam

Conference
reSITE Pavilion in cee cities
reSITE will work with an internationally recognized economics program at the university level.
The economics platform will enhance the reesarch, broaden the platform and the conference
target group for reSITE.
reSITE will host the third annual international,
interdisciplinary conference fostering collaborative
dialogue between policymakers, designers, NGO
groups and investors to discuss projects and
policies that reflect the reSITE mission.
A movable pavilion will travel to 1-2 cities per
year. The pavilion will act as a tool to activate
public space in those cities and to catalyze the
conversation about improving quality of life with
smart design in cities.
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION
major public event
reSITE will collect data and economic resesearch
about competitive and livable cities. The research will be published in local and international
media. It will also be presented at international
conferences.
reSITE and Aerofilms in cooperation with a
sponsor will host a major outdoor film screening.
Rather than a large public festival, this film
will be concentrated on one night during the
conference. The film will be focsued on the theme
of architecture and/or landscape in films and be
shown in a prominent public space near the river
in June 2014 as the major public event of reSITE
Conference.
reSITE Pavilion will act as a beacon for the future
of urbanism in CEE cities. We will work with
Balmond Studio in London to build the design
and attract sponsors.
CLOSED DOOR CONFERENCES
Twice per calendar year, these policy sessions
will be organized in coopeartion with a partner. 20-25 top-level experts, professionals and
policy makers will convene to debate the future
of cities in the CEE region. The goal is to form
working groups, which will influence legislation
and policy on urban planning and development
issues.

Martin Joseph Barry
founder, director
Martin is a former Fulbright
Scholar in the Czech Republic
where he taught landscape architecture FA CTU in
2011-2012. In September 2011, he founded reSITE.
He is a Fellow at the Design Trust for Public
Space in New York. He is also an Associate at W
Architecture and Landscape Architecture where
he leads multi-disciplinary teams on complex
landscape, architecture and urbanism projects in
New York City, Saudi Arabia, China, United Arab
Emirates, Haiti, Canada, the Czech Republic and
Mexico. He is a young leader in his field, working
on public space plans for urban waterfronts,
universities and resorts, rooftops and multi-use
developments to large masterplans, city plans and
urban design standards with leading figures such
as Enrique Norten and Rafael Pelli while serving
as a design consultant for private developers,
municipalities and clients such as the royal family
in Saudi Arabia.
Martin perceives landscape architecture and
urbanism as an essential way to shape the future of
cities and reestablish the way individuals interact
with ecology and culture in urban public spaces.
He believes that thoughtful, good urbanism and
planning require strong and clear leadership with
lively collaboration between policy, design and
finance. Martin seeks to help cities become more
competitive with a thoughtful and collaborative
approach to urban design.

Martin Barry, newyorský architekt a ředitel festivalu reSITE
Obchodům na Manhattanu prospělo méně aut
MĚSTA PRO Lidi, Ne PRO AUTA. Díky uzavření části Broadwaye v New Yorku
automobilům se několikanásobně zvedly tržby tamních obchodníků – prodejen
a kaváren. Změna tak měla pozitivní dopad i na hodnotu nemovitostí v lokalitě.

ěsta jako místa pro život je
motto druhého ročníku festivalu reSITE, který tento týden probíhá v Praze. Festival
chce přimět k větší spolupráci
politiky, developery, finančníky a architekty a urbanisty.
„Nelze udělat dobrý projekt,
aniž by města při územním plánování a vytváření veřejného prostoru pracovala s různými skupinami lidí
z těchto oblastí,“ říká americký architekt Martin Barry, ředitel a zakladatel festivalu. Barry spoluvytvářel
podoby veřejného prostranství po celém světě, vedle
rodného New Yorku například ve Střední Asii, Jižní
Americe či Kanadě.
S myšlenkou založit festival reSITE přišel Barry
v roce 2011, kdy v rámci Fulbrightova stipendia vyučoval krajinnou architekturu na Fakultě architektury
ČVUT v Praze. „Když jsem se tu bavil s lidmi o veřejném
prostoru, uvědomil jsem si, že tu chybí spolupráce
mezi těmito skupinami. Chtěl jsem vytvořit platformu, kde by se všechny tyto skupiny mohly o územním
plánování bavit,“ říká Barry a dodává, že do proměny
měst se u nás nezapojuje veřejnost a přirovnává to
k „procesu za zavřenými dveřmi“.
„V jiných městech spolupráce mezi těmito subjekty funguje mnohem lépe. Jsem krajinný architekt
a na projektech, na kterých se podílím, pracují často velké týmy. V New Yorku nelze udělat projekt bez
toho, aby na něm spolupracovali politici s finančníky,
architekty a veřejností,“ říká Barry.
Slovo developer jako nadávka?
Developeři v Česku nemají stanovená jasná pravidla,
co mohou a co ne. „Je zodpovědností města nebo obce
tato pravidla stanovit,“ říká Barry. Kvůli chybějícím pravidlům podle něj dochází k různým pochybným obcho-
dům s pozemky a veřejnost pak nemá o developerech
nejlepší mínění. „Je pak velmi snadné šířit, že všichni
developeři jsou špatní. Všichni ale nejsou,“ popisuje.
Podle Barryho jsou všude na světě developeři tak
trochu zosobněním zla. Ale například v kanadském
městě Calgary, kde Barry v současné době pracuje,
není developer považován za nadávku. Město tam
založilo společnost s názvem Calgary Municipal
Land Corporation, která spolupracuje s developery na rozvoji vybraných částí města. Tato společnost stanovuje pravidla zástavby nebo například
to, kolik na daném území musí být veřejných ploch
nebo že má územím procházet cyklotrasa. O náklady
spojené se zlepšením kvality života ve městě se dělí
soukromníci a samospráva. „Developeři pak nejsou
ve špatném světle, protože přispívají k lepší tváři
města,“ říká Barry.
Klíč je podle něj v nastavení pravidel v oblasti legislativy a územního plánování města. Developeři si
mohou s městem například výměnou za zkvalitnění
veřejného prostoru vyjednat hustší zástavbu. „Ale
také město musí něco dát, nemůže chtít po developerovi, aby zaplatil veřejný prostor,“ upozorňuje
architekt.
New York se mění zásluhou starosty Bloomberga
Americká města se výrazně rozrůstala někdy od 50. let
minulého století. „Až v 90. letech jsme si uvědomili, že
to je špatný model developmentu a že bychom měli
znovu investovat do center měst tak, aby tam lidé
mohli pracovat a žít a používat více veřejný a udržitelný systém dopravy,“ říká Barry a dodává, že je třeba
zastavit development na předměstích.
V New Yorku se podle Barryho začaly věci hýbat
k lepšímu někdy před patnácti lety, velkou zásluhou
starosty Michaela Bloomberga. Zasadil se o snížení
znečištění ovzduší ve městě a omezení dopravních
zácp, podpořil cyklistiku a další alternativy automobilům. „Pochopil, jak zatraktivnit development
nejen developerům a finančníkům, ale také občanům,“ říká Barry.
K zlepšení došlo v oblasti veřejného prostoru, zeleně, cyklotras, nábřeží, vyjmenovává Barry. „Politici

V New Yorku nelze udělat
projekt bez toho, aby na
něm spolupracovali politici
s finančníky, architekty
a veřejností.
Martin Barry
newyorský architekt
pochopili, že spolupráce s veřejností má své výhody,“
říká architekt.
Za velmi úspěšný označuje záměr města New York
vysadit ve městě do roku 2020 jeden milion stromů.
„Částečně je tento program financován městem a částečně soukromými společnostmi – Toyotou a BNP Paribas,“ říká Barry. Za první tři roky od spuštění programu se podařilo vysadit více než 400 tisíc stromů.
Jako další příklad uvádí kampaň v New Yorku pro
uzavření části jedné z nejrušnějších komunikací
ve městě, ne-li v USA. Podařilo se prosadit uzavření
části newyorské Broadwaye na Manhattanu autům
ve prospěch pěších a cyklistů. Byly obavy, že podniky na Broadwayi kvůli tomu zkrachují, ale opak byl
pravdou. „Díky tomu, že se ulice zpřístupnila více
lidem, se za pouhé první dva roky tržby obchodníků
zvýšily o 170 procent. Lze tedy přesvědčit developery,
že když se navrhne lepší městský prostor, nemovitost
získá na hodnotě. Vytváříte totiž město, do kterého
se chtějí lidé přestěhovat, chtějí v něm pracovat, žít
v něm a neodjíždět na víkendy pryč, protože je živé,“
vysvětluje Barry.
Praha má skvělý systém hromadné veřejné dopravy
a není důvod, proč by měla auta parkovat na chodnících a zahlcovat ulice, myslí si Barry. Praha musí podle
něho pokutovat lidi, kteří parkují na chodníku. Známý
dánský architekt Jan Gehl na loňském festivalu reSITE
v Praze prohlásil, že pěší zóny jsou těmi nejdůležitějšími místy ve městě, protože na nich lidé nakupují, chodí
do kaváren a město žije. „Když z chodníků dostanete
auta, bude po nich chodit více lidí a z toho budou prosperovat i obchodníci,“ uvádí Barry.
„Praha je jedinečné město, ale nemá jedinečné problémy z pohledu územního plánování,“ říká Barry
a dává příklad dánské Kodaně, která vyřešila problém
s parkováním a z města se stalo jedno z nejvíce přátelských měst k chodcům na světě.
Festival reSITE letos opět podpořilo město Praha.
Zúčastní se jej architekti, urbanisté a další odborníci
světového renomé ze zahraničí. Z velkých investorů
podpořila festival skupina Penta. „Naši sponzoři si
uvědomují, že jsme velmi transparentní platforma,
kterou založil člověk z New Yorku, jenž má velmi malý
zájem o místní politiku,“ pokračuje Barry. „Nechceme
se stát lobbistickou skupinou,“ říká.
Podle něho plyne z loňského pilotního ročníku poučení, že nejprve je nutné si získat firmy ze soukromého
sektoru a zástupce veřejnosti a teprve potom má smysl
jít za politiky. Než se veřejnost zapojí do územního plánování, bude ale podle něho ještě chvíli trvat.

ABOUT
WORKSHOP EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
reSITE aims to expand our activities at the intersection
of urban communication and policymaking that can be
transferable and applicable to other Central and Eastern
European cities. In order to make reSITE festival content
fresh - a collaborative dialogue between policy leaders,
designers, communities and financier/developers - and more
accessible, the reSITE pavilion should be a stage where ideas
about more transparent urban planning, inefficiency of postcommunist urban planning attitudes and public space will be
discussed and where cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary action
takes place.

We propose to create a mobile pavilion that will host future
conferences and become a branding device for collaborative
urban practices. We intend to host conferences, discussions,
films and performances about public space in public space.
The festival pavilion needs to be conceptualized to match our
mission.
In order to support a unique cultural collaboration, the
envisioned reSITE pavilion should be a product of an
international and interdisciplinary design dPAV workshop.
The workshop led by Balmond Studio with a special Keynote
Lecture by world-renowned structural designer and artist
Cecil Balmond took place in Prague from 21 - 23 June.
18 students and young professionals from 9 countries
took part in competition workshop. They formed 4
interdisciplinary, international teams / 13 architects, 3
engineers, 1 designer and 1 artist/. Every team got additional
programmer who literally scripted their ideas as they
emerged.
Selected participants expanded the concept design of the
future reSITE pavilion and competed against other teams.
The most successful design was selected as the venue for
future conferences and festivals. The pavilion will become
a manifestation of open and collaborative design for public
space.
Maria Aiolova /Terreform One, New York City/, Osamu
Okamura /Program director reSITE, Prague/, David
Cerny /artist, Prague/, David Chisholm /architect, CNC
Architects, Prague/, Adam Gebrian /architecture critic,
Prague/ formed international jury that selected participants
of the workshop in the first round - and the winning team in
the second round.
Jury minutes will be released on our website. Workshop rules
passed through Czech Chamber of Architects.e
p ot en t i a l ci t ies
A movable pavilion will travel to 1-2 cities per year. The pavilion will act as a tool to activate
public space in those cities and to catalyse the conversation about improving quality of life
with innovative and collaborative design.
reSITE Pavilion will act as a beacon for the future of urbanism. We will host conferences

Workshop:
Friday started with registration of participants and team
forming. Tyson Hosmer /Lead Designer, Balmond Studio,
London/ introduced the first ideas and sketches.
Interdisciplinary feedback and critiques took place
during Saturday. Media theoretician David Korinek
and conceptual sculptor Dominik Lang led interactive
format “Lunch and Learn”. International and Czech external
critiques Stefan Rettich / Karo Architects, Leipzig/, Jonas
Norsted /Atelier Oslo, Oslo/, Martin Sichman /oximoron,
Bratislava/, Marie Davidova /Coll Coll, Prague/ visited
workshop Saturday afternoon. Team work followed the
critiques.
Cecil Balmond, the Founder of Balmond studio visited
workshop Sunday morning. He spent several hours reviewing
models of each team. Teams worked on models till the
afternoon. Final presentations started at 5:00 pm and were
followed by jury meeting. The jury voted for the first team no.
1. Alma Dzinalija, Pierre Cutellic, Kristof Hanzlik, Morten
Bilde Hougaard, Jan Pelcík became the authors of the
concept of future reSITE pavilion.
A special public lecture of Cecil Balmond with more than 100
visitors in the audience finished the workshop.

Summary:
Participans were able to develop conceptual system of the
future pavilion during limited time of 2.5 days. Winning
proposal is based on the maximum flexibility of the
construction in relation to public space, yet it keeps its
characteristic, iconic design.
It is easy to transport, assemble abd disassemble.
We hope that the conceptual system and a close cooperation
with Balmond studio will lead into a successful fundraising of
the pavilion. The competition workshop was transparent and
all its results will be published soon on website workshop.
