Coronavirus lockdown limits our possibility to get away from home. It is an outstanding opportunity to rediscover our immediate environment. Here’s what I found in a radius of 100 meters from home. What did YOU find?

Located in south Serbia, Niš is a historical-cultural crossroads. Interesting archaeology, historical relics and monuments, and remains from troubled times, dot the city together with pleasant streets, vivid street life and nice modernist architecture.

13th Alpine Peace Crossing Peace Hike took place on June 29th, 2019. Here is a collection of sights from the event.

A magnificent example of Hungarian Art Nouveau, the huge synagogue in Subotica, Serbia, is a truly inspiring temple.

Brno, in Czech Republic’s Moravia, had a thriving Jewish community. Its grandeur and wealth are reflected in the beautiful headstones of the Jewish cemetery.

Magnificent headstones and general view of Třebíč Jewish Cemetery – a former Jewish community, whose heritage is well kept in the local Jewish quarter and synagogue.

Inspiring projects across Austria commemorate the fate of Jewish people during and following World War II, refresh the sociohistorical discourse in Austria and add meaning to public areas threatened by technology mediated experiences.

“Ins Gelobte Land – Eretz Austria” by “teatro caprile” is a unique interactive theater conducted outdoors. Presented in Krimmler Achental, Austria, it tells the incredible story of 5,000 Jewish refugees, who after the holocaust, crossed the 2,634m Krimmler Tauern mountain pass, on their way to the Land of Israel.

The hike from Krimml in Austria towards Kasern in Italy through the Krimmler Tauern pass, is one of the finest in this area of the alps, but also provides the opportunity to experience a bit of post WWII Jewish refugees difficult journey to the Land of Israel.

The square is shaped by several buildings and structures which bring life into Andersa Street. Inspired by prewar buildings, what shape should they wear?

Not just another metro station, but an integrated space, inspired by prewar buildings layout, connected to the street by natural light and sight, and comfortably accessible using intriguing passages

Creating meaningful public spaces, adding buildings for various uses and construction of a metro station are suggested to create a vivid hub for Muranów, inspired by the life that existed there before the war.
