Nine proposals were submitted to the international architectural ideas competition "Concept of the territory development in Šmerlis" that took place from April 19 till July 12, 2024.
Evaluating the fact that the quality and level of details of the submitted proposals were different, that there were various approaches to the interpretation of the designing program, as well as respecting the scenic urban environment of the competition territory, the jury made an extraordinary decision – to continue the creative competition with the authors of the best three proposals in its opinion, by inviting them to review and improve proposals in line with the commissioner’s re-specified requirements and the recommendations of the jury for each selected work and to resubmit them in the 2nd competition round.
