‘Trimo Urban Crash’ has announced its winners from this year’s installation competition which challenged students to design a public architectural installation for Nove Fužine, a specific residential neighborhood in Ljubljana, Slovenia using Trimo materials. The theme for this year is: The Life Stand – an architectural intervention which is more than a tribune for watching games or events. It is a point of interaction and inspiration for inhabitants and visitors of all ages, interests and social standing, and simultaneously offering an answer to complex architectural and social questions common to many European urban residential areas with its original and well-thought out approach.
First Place for Realization was awarded to Wojciech Nowak and Martynika Bielawska of Poland. The proposed object is for the everday space that characterizes Fuzine’s southern edge – sports ground, festival area, meeting point. It is inspired by the idea of a catalyst for existing vibrant atmosphere of the place, enhancing it rather than changing. The proposed structure is located between two sport courts and uses the narrow lawn stripe to activate the empty boundary line for new playgrounds, or festival area. Its use is flexible which allows visitors use the space as spectators of a sporting event, or for a visit to the park or a day at a festival.
