The internal vaulted surface is constructed of brickwork whilst the Brusnice creek flows within the tunnel itself under a steel grate. Very beautiful.

AP - Atelier Josef Pleskot ryo 02-10-2005, 12:49 the junction between the rectangular gate and the vaulted brickwork should be interesting; do you have a pic of this part? Pedro Barradas 02-10-2005, 13:10 Good, very good passage, very interesting inspiration from a sewer duct ;) dhaa 13-05-2006, 18:39 there's an archidose issue (http://www.archidose.org/Jul05/071805.html) about this tunnel with some very nice photos. just to make a correction, they mention there the tunnel is oval in section. in fact it is egg-shaped. you walk inside an egg which makes you feel safe - link to the prenatal stage. that's the concept.
