Objektu nové výstavní plochy stage garden GALLERY CREARS v Rožnově pod Radhoštěm byl záměrně dán až asketický výraz, aby vyniklo to, oč v galerii běží především – vystavovat umění. Druhým důvodem minimalistického pojetí novostavby, kterou navrhl Ing. arch. Karel Janča, byla i bezprostřední blízkost drobné hrázděné stavbičky, které se říká Altán.

They are useless. Like old pets waiting in shelters for new masters or death to take them. They outlived their original owners, and new folks show little interest. Previous guardians gave them up or sought to replace them with something “more beautiful”. Just like old pets, they contain people’s stories and traces of past lives.

Seven years ago, we surveyed representatives of selected universities, asking about their view on architectural competitions. The answers were mostly negative, citing the financially demanding and time‑consuming downsides, and alleging that the CCA competition code contradicted public procurement law. Academic institutions generally did not issue any competitions. The situation has changed partially as some universities have tried design contests in recent years, while most still remain hesitant to see competitions as a useful tool.
