The Agency for development of Municipality of Herceg Novi in association with the European Chess Union have launched a single stage international competition for the European Chess House in Herceg Novi. ACID Group shared with us their proposal in order to find the best solution for the mixed use development. The program consisted of facilities devoted to promotion and development of chess including a library, museum and tournament halls, and of hotel facilities which include 50 guest rooms, a restaurant and lobby. The site is located on the corner between two streets, on steeply sloping terrain. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The game of chess consists of three phases: chess opening, chess middle-game and chess end-game. The choice of opening defines the disposition of pieces on the board and can be a significant advantage in the course of the game. The opening called slav defense was used as a concept for the disposition of masses.
