“Spe salvi facti sumus“ – in hope we were saved    (začátek encykliky Spe salvi Benedikta XVI.)

 We were creating inhabited place at a large field. We approach to our task as it was a room. We designed alleged carpet out of pedestrian paths through the area. The main road is coming from Column shrine to an anchor. The column shrine symbolize a small act, that was made many years ago, when the builder didn't predict the importance of this place in the future. And the anchor is a sign of hope, which is slowly disappearing from our everyday life.
