Hotel Fjord is the most visible big structure that was conceived and built during the Yugoslav period in Kotor and which is now waiting for more intense use again. Next to it there is at least four major sites and structures in a wide range of different material conditions, but all in a state of minimal use, which can be described as a programmatic void in the center of Kotor.
APSS 2014 will address the programmatic void in this area and work on it with students and mentors from different architectural schools in Europe. More then that, there will be a road from Venice biennale to APSS with academic work as well as expositions that deal with the topics elaborated at APSS and in-between. The team of offices behind the concept of GH Fjord Study and Program for APSS 2013 and APSS 2014 has been appointed for a curatorial team for Montenegin national pavilion in Venice Biennale. This way, we are extending our research on other topics, other buildings in need of immediate attention.
New mentors and lecturers for this year include Matthias Armengaud, AWP; Bart Lootsma, University of Innsbruck; Kersten Geers, KGDVS; Joerg Stollmann, TU Berlin; Srđan Jovanović Weiss, NAO; Milica Topalović, ETH; Boštjan Vuga, SADAR+VUGA; and Simon Hartmann, HHF.
