The most frequently placed questions and answers
Residential units within the "Sunny City" complex are not intended for anyone in particular, and the method of their realization will depend on interest and market conditions.
We expect that the implementation of the project will contribute to increasing employment in Nikšić through engagement in the process of building facilities and infrastructure, but also after construction through the functioning of economic business facilities and social activities.
The improvement of the state of order along with new jobs will also affect the reduction of the departure of young people from Nikšić. The new residential and business complex will be built in accordance with the regulations, and bearing in mind that it is a neglected built-up area, the impacts on the environment and citizens will be mostly positive.
Abolition of the railway is not foreseen, because its retention is essential for the functioning of the industrial complex in the contact area, which is in the process of reconstruction.
The relocation of the railway line is also not foreseen, as it would cause significant material investments, as well as relocation.
The planning of individual buildings with higher storeys compared to the norms is possible for buildings with smaller horizontal dimensions or parts of buildings with larger horizontal dimensions, in the function of realizing the urban concept.
The treatment of the stream is not predetermined, so it can be adapted to the urban concept. It should be borne in mind that these are water courses of an occasional nature, which are active only during high water, so that the necessary technical measures can be applied to prevent the negative effects of water. At the same time, bearing in mind that streams are not active for most of the year, the justification of their use in landscaping is questionable.
The quality of the photos published on the site has been improved.
Retention of built structures of substandard housing is not foreseen, but the solution for their users will be found in new buildings within the area of the tender decision.
Construction lines as well as the method of land parcelling in the mentioned zones are not binding, they are "remained" in the model from the planning solution that was made to consider the possibility of disposing of municipal land. From the competition solutions, a completely free author's proposal of the urban-architectural solution is expected in the part of the subdivision and building lines, except in zone C.
Thank you for pointing out an error in the competition task through the question. The underlined sentence refers to the area in Zone B, which is located east of the existing catering facility and extends all the way to the parking lot of the Ironworks.
3D animation with a maximum duration of 60 seconds does not have to contain only the representation of the urban-architectural solution, but it is possible to show enlarged frames of certain zones and their parts, at the author's choice.
Along with the competition decision, it is necessary to submit proof, at the participant's choice, that one of the members of the author's team is a person in the architectural profession.
With the expectation that you will successfully participate in our competition and find a favorable solution despite space limitations, we inform you of the following:
1. Interventions can be planned on the railway line or its part, in terms of the construction of underpasses and the like, but not its abolition, bearing in mind that the neighboring zone is kept as an industrial warehouse, so that the functional connection by railway represents a comparative advantage in the functioning of that economic area. complex.
2. The planning of individual buildings with higher storeys in relation to the norms is possible for buildings with smaller horizontal dimensions, or parts of buildings with larger horizontal dimensions, in the function of realizing the urban concept.
Competition works are submitted exclusively electronically in digital form until 23:59 on April 30, 2024.
The idea of the competition is to find the best solution that will change the appearance and function of this part of the city, not the conceptual architectural solutions of individual buildings, so it is not necessary to show the buildings in conceptually elaborated foundations/sections/facades as an architectural solution, but an urbanistic solution is sufficient give the appearance of objects and spatial entities, as you wrote yourself, in order to develop the visual identity of the settlement. Under the characteristic architectural solutions of individual buildings, we meant the display in the foreground of a building chosen by the author.
Graphic attachments submitted in an A3 notebook and graphic attachments in A0 format should not be identical, but authors can organize and display graphic attachments in an A3 notebook (adjusted format), as well as graphic attachments in A0 format, as they choose.

The removal of buildings is allowed if it serves the purpose of realizing the urban concept, but also if it is economically justified, which does not only apply to substandard housing, but also to buildings in other locations.
The railway that passes through the competition area is exclusively industrial, with low frequency.
The watercourse in zone D is a stream, which originates from intermittent springs. For the water flow, a solution from a closed channel to an element in the outdoor arrangement can be proposed.
The tender decision can be used to assess and propose what else the housing areas need from buildings of compatible uses.
In zones F1 and F2, which have the role of a protective belt, a park can be planned as well as an appropriate catering facility in the park.
