The city of Banja Luka has published a call for the development of a conceptual architectural and urban design of the viewpoint on Banj brdo with the intention of making the viewpoint a popular tourist attraction and one of the new symbols of the city.
The applicants have the opportunity to come up with a creative and unique solution to the proposal of the viewpoint next to the monument on Banj brdo, in a way that its size and design enable citizens, tourists and visitors to experience stunning views of Banja Luka.
As stated in the call, the primary function of the lookout is to provide a panoramic view of the city of Banja Luka and its unique experience from Banj Brdo. At the same time, the viewpoint should offer new symbolism that can be developed, both around the material elements of the place, such as form, and around the intangible elements, related to memory or the sensory experience of space.
In addition to the architectural solution of the viewpoint, the participants in the call are expected to propose the ground floor arrangement of the immediate environment (defined by the scope), and to take into account the existing telescope and envisage a new location.
The call for the viewpoint will be open until November 17, 2021, and a cash prize in the amount of 6,000 BAM is planned for the best conceptual design.
The call is published electronically. More information can be found at the following link: https://www.banjaluka.rs.ba/konkurs-vidikovac/
