Vankovka Foundry

Had a visit to the Vankovka Foundry in Brno. Old foundry turned into an artgallery. Beautiful space - they have flexible panels to make quick partitions. The art looked good. And there was a Zanussi fridge and washingmachine show. Even that was pallatable in a setting like the foundry. Our group was joined by Gregoria Todaro who works for the city of Melbourne as a planner. She took 5 months off to go to Europe. We were talking with Dan Sequerra who was active for the Creative Industries Cluster in Sheffield if it would be

a good investment to have more creative spaces. Zulfi Hussain said he might be more interested in Poland. Czech authorities are not so co operative, but the beer and the buzz at Vankovka are great. Best brownfield development in Czech.
