What to do with the area of the former textile company in Krnov named Karnola? The fundamental part of this work is an architectural study and proposal of transforamtion of this brownfield area for the needs of owner or developer. The study is connecting the currently isolated area and the city center to create a symbiotic relationship. The large area of the former Karnola textile company is divided into zones which are further splitted into smaller sections, which will be easier to manage. The study encourages the industrial production and traditional crafts which were always present in Krnov. It also adverts the trend of ecological approach towards industry production, which is essential for sustainable development of the area. The orginaly closely specialised buildings are becoming multi-functional centers. Important factors are both the use of renewable energy and environmental waste management. The land is owned by a limited liability company and managed by proxy. The proposed transformation corresponds with land use according to ground plan and strategic plan of Krnov. Because of the transformated area location - in the suburbs and also close to the city center - the whole project can very well served as an interconnection between the public and private sectors and also for various kinds of new utilazation of the area. The transformation study calculates with the rehabilitation of aboveground old water race and extension of currently existing recreation area along the Opava River to the area.
