Open Call: Competition for the Development of the Conceptual Architectural Design of the Promenade in the “Budva Bay”, Part of the Budva-Bečići Promenade, Phase I

The competition task covers the part of the Municipality of Budva, which represents the center of cultural, entertainment, and informative events. The proposal for the competition deals with four natural and heritage environments: the water area, the beach, the green area, and the promenade.
For the Competition for the development of a conceptual urban and architectural design for the promenade in the “Budva Bay” part of the Budva-Bečići promenade, phase I, participants are being asked to design a site plan for the development of a new identity for the city of Budva.
It is necessary to provide a basis for the creation of collective awareness at two levels. At the primary level, it is the creation of collective awareness among the citizens of Budva as permanent users of the space and their treatment of the environment in which they find themselves. At a secondary level, it is the image that the city sends to the world and to tourists as temporary and occasional users of the space.
It is of utmost importance to derive inspiration from the vast cultural heritage of the Old town of Budva and its 2500 years old history and future urban development.
Special attention should be paid to the dispersion of facilities covered in the proposal for competition, with an emphasis on the linear flow of user movement and intersection with lateral directions from the hinterland and contact zones. It is necessary to radically change the mode of use of the coastal strip of land with an emphasis on the introduction of public areas for communication, recreation, and outdoor events.
The competition is open to all. No professional qualification is required. Design proposals can be developed individually or by teams.
