Competition for the public square “Stara Herzegovina” was organized by Stari grad municipality. The idea driving our concept was awakening of a dormant public space, and creating a square which will become a meeting point for local communities, a “city backyard” which could be used by all local residents. The main goals which shaped this project were accentuating the frequent walking patterns by keeping pedestrian-made ruts, and preserving all existing trees. Concept design was created in team formed with architects N. Torbica and Z. Ivkovic. Although this concept was awarded the third prize on the competition, it was our design that was actually chosen for construction.
