Award: The Placement of the National Flag and the Design of Pyrker Square Design Competition - 1st prize, 2013

Status: completed

The landscape architecture concept for Pyrker Park emphasizes its symbolic significance as the dominant element in the area. We propose using the National Flag as a direct inspiration for the design, avoiding specific statues of individuals. Instead, we opt for a sky landscape, representing the torn parts of the country, symbolized by a column.

The axis leading to the station offers an excellent opportunity to create an "artist's promenade," featuring statues of visual artists, writers, and actors connected to Eger. This addition will enrich the cultural and historical significance of the park.

To create a dignified closure for the Cathedral, we recommend placing a statue of Saint Stephen, the country's founder. Further, within the park, we suggest incorporating existing vegetation and adding statues of historical figures related to the city of Eger. This flexible installation plan allows for gradual implementation according to available budgets, ensuring the park continues to evolve over time. Overall, the concept aims to infuse Pyrker Park with symbolic meaning, cultural heritage, and a sense of national pride.
