History park in Aš by SOA

The “Park of History” in Aš presents an intriguing concept for the revitalization and urban development of the city, utilizing both the geographic and symbolic potential of the area. The project aims to recall forgotten values of the past and guide visitors through the city’s eventful history. The designated area, seen as a spatial parallel to Aš’s post-war development from the flourishing Goethe Square to the decline of late socialism represented by Okružní Street, serves as a symbolic reminder of overlooked values. The park’s revitalization is viewed as a crucial step to rediscover urban balance, presenting a confident modern Aš through conceptual content and contemporary architectural representation.
