Die tschechische Kleinstadt Litomyšl zählt zum Unesco-Welterbe dank ihrem beeindruckenden Marktplatz und ihrem Renaissanceschloss. Von architektonischer Ambition getragen, entfaltet Litomyšl seit 1989 einen Aufschwung, der in zahlreichen herausragenden Interventionen sichtbar wird. Vom Neubau bis Umbau, vom Stadtraum bis zur Stadtmöblierung, vom kleinen Eingriff bis zum selbstbewussten Statement entfaltet sich ein breites Spektrum. Das Buch thematisiert die Potenziale der Stadt, die politische Dimension von Architektur und Tendenzen neuer tschechischer Architektur. Essays und Interviews ergänzen die Vorstellung ausgewählter Projekte. Das Spektrum deckt Interventionen im Stadtraum und Grünanlagen, Pflege der Bausubstanz und Neubau, öffentliches und privates Bauen, Bauwerk und Interieur ab.
