Trenčín – City on the River is announced by the City of Trenčín as open anonymous international urban design ideas competition seeking the best comprehensive urbanistic proposals for connecting the city centre with both waterfronts of the River Váh. We expect bold and fresh proposals from teams composed of professionals from architecture, urban planning, landscape design and other related fields, which will form the basis for development of a new Central Zone Masterplan for the city.
The City of Trenčín seeks the best comprehensive urbanistic proposals for connecting the city centre with the river, making use of the space that is currently being transformed due to the modernisation and relocation of the railway track. The proposal should create a compact, animated city with a direct relationship to the river.
The competition Trenčín – City on the River pursues the following mission and purpose:
- To obtain innovative and inspiring proposals that will present a comprehensive solution for the Central City Zone, uncovering and maximising the hidden potentials of the historic centre, the river, riverfront and the wider context into which the site is embedded.
- To purchase the winning proposals and a licence for their use from the author/s, and based on the proposals develop a Central City Zone Masterplan with strong potential to encourage growth of the city as well as the region based on the results of the competition and inspire a new modern identity of Trenčín.
