The 2013 competition invites students to design a unique public venue,executed with Trimo materials and to become more familiar with the latest developments in architectural and industrial designs and technologies. The specific task is to design a Bike Service and Coffee Shop in the centre of Ljubljana, whilst applying the paradigm of modular space architecture and the aspect of self-sufficiency and sustainabilty, called the Bike Base.

The task addresses an issue of real social relevance, while the City of Ljubljana donates the plot and Trimo builds it. We witness strong, imaginative work being produced, a big part of which will later be published, shortlisted and exhibited; and the overall winner’s project, announced by the international jury – with a little help of a public vote – will be built the following year.
