United Kingdom Architecture News - Feb 09, 2014 - 15:40 4074 views
Trencín – City on the River is announced by the City of Trencín 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 Trencín (57,000 inhabitants) is a compact historic city on the River Váh, forming the administrative centre of Trencín Region and a natural landmark within the wider area. Strategically, the city is located on the border with the Czech Republic, within an hours’ drive from the capital city of Bratislava. Trencín has a unique panorama formed by the castle fortress on top of a rock and the city has an interesting history and pleasant atmosphere. Currently, Trencín is facing changes connected with the relocation of the railway track directly within the city centre as part of the modernisation of the European railway corridor, with planned completion in 2016. Through the competition, the City of Trencín seeks fresh and innovative urbanistic solutions that will overcome transportation barriers and connect the historic city centre with the riverfront, enhancing the city’s expression and thus encourage its growth. The winning proposals will form the base for a new Central City Zone Masterplan that the City intends to develop following the results of the competition.
