The architectural face of the city of Brno focuses mainly on the interconnection of historical buildings, Brno functionalism, industrial architecture and new construction. It is supported by a cultivated modern architecture that is consistent with worldwide trends. Emphasis is placed mainly on the height composition, due to the rugged relief of the Brno landscape and its dominant features, and the increasing quality of public spaces, namely squares, streets and parks.
The city will become an attractive and friendly place for the life of its inhabitants and at the same time an attractive tourist destination. The height, structure and volume of new buildings respects the surrounding built-up areas, preserves the compositional axes and dominant features of the city. Attractive, high-quality and inspirational public areas inspire for cultural and social life in the city.
