Project Solana Ulcinj – Public Symposium: THE BRIEF

02 9th, 2016

The Project Solana Ulcinj, commissioned by Dijana Vucinic of the Montenegrin Ministry of Sustainable development and Tourism and curated by Bart Lootsma and Katharina Weinberger, will be the Montenegrin contribution to the 15th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The Montenegrin pavilion will host four projects outlining four different sustainable futures for the former saline “Bajo Sekulic” near Montenegro’s most southern town Ulcinj. The projects will be developed specially for the Biennale by four practices: ecoLogicStudio from London, LOLA form Rotterdam and LAAC from Innsbruck, while a fourth project will be decided upon following a national competition in Montenegro. The project will be accompanied by a series of three symposia in Montenegro and in Venice.

The first symposium, “THE BRIEF” takes place in Ulcinj on February 12. Here, the participants in the project, both the international and the national practices, will be briefed by regional, national and international experts in the fields of planning, ecology and sustainable tourism. In the end, the commissioner and the curators will present the design brief. The invited practices as well as the magazine MONU, our Media Partner, will briefly introduce themselves and the work that seduced us to invite them. There will also be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
