The project is about renewal of pilgrimage area of St. Wenceslas Church and its connection with modern cultural and social life. Design is based on legacy of a legend from the 12th century, which is associated with emergence of religious buildings on this hill. The legend talks about hiding and saving from pursuers in a badger hole. Proposal idea came from immersion and embedding, as well as metaphysics of time, transience and temporality, “Sub-Merge In-Time”. Intention is to strengthen significance of the place by creating at the first site hidden space, “rondel”, bringing opportunities for various chamber cultural events. Rondel is designed as a sculpture, as an attractor in landscape. Sundial reminiscents cycle of time and rainbow from captured rainwater fleetingness. The hill used to be pilgrimage place and destination of walks. In the future, it could be destination both spiritual and cultural, preserving all piety and atmosphere of the place.
