2. Balkanski Arhitektonski Bijenale

On the occasion of 2nd Balkan Architecture Biennale, association Kolektiv together with Biennale
organizers, announces an open call for concept, design and production of space installation(s) and/or the
setting in the gallery Kolektiv

THEME: BASIC BALKAN ARCHITECTURE

01 BASIC REINVENTED
Due to changes in economy and ideology, identity in Balkan countries is under reassessment. This state creates opportunity for reinvention, rethinking
and redefinition of ideas and concepts in architecture that are in its fundaments.
We would like to explore Balkan cultural diversities, that is reflection of complex historical changes, in order to reveal its common denominators.

02 BASIC MATERIALITY - WOOD
This year installation should be made predominantly out of wood. As basic building material, wood gives opportunities to design and perform spatial
concepts in wide range of techniques-from basic to most advanced construction systems.

03 EXHIBITION AS ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE
Authors are encouraged to embrace the character of the exhibition gallery space as an opportunity to produce and make, rather than describe or
present the project. The transfer of ideas, intentions, concepts, attitude is welcome in any selected media - a spatial installation, photography, film,
graphics, drawing, assemblage, sculpture, models, etc.
