Temporary structures might be designed to disappear shortly or just host an event, might have to be set-up quickly - but they do become part of the public space, part of community. They should challenge new ideas, test new possibilities and new approach to public space use, embrace the surroundings and adapt to the environment. With this topic, we want to experiment and test new scenarios in our city. We want to challenge interaction and see another face of our public space.

About KotorAPSS: KotorAPSS - The Architecture Prison Summer School, named after the mothership of KotorAPSS – an Old Austrian prison building, seeks to redefine the approach on urban planning and design in the region. It is located in Kotor, UNESCO site on the coast of Adriatic sea. Since 2012 Kotor APSS has attracted thinkers and architecture scholars from all over the world and involved them not only in educating future architects of the Balkan region but also in forcing communication and public discussions with the intention to spark change on many levels.
KotorAPSS has served as a platform for new architecture scene in Montenegro and in Balkans and initiated some leading-edge projects that have truly repositioned Montenegro on an international architecture map. These projects also included national participation of Montenegro at 14th and 15th International Architecture Exhibition of the Biennale di Architettura with exhibitions Treasures in disguise and Project Solana Ulcinj. KotorAPSS has been focusing on RE-USE topic within these projects that has culminated with Dom revolucije competition and project, also featured in Archdaily. The book on the RE-USE approach called RE-USE-ISM done by Dijana Vučinić, Boštjan Vuga, Simon Hartmann, Luise Rellensmann and Miloš Kosec, designed by Ian Anderson and TDR Republic will be published the following year.

About Numen/For Use: Numen/For Use is a collective working in the fields of conceptual art, scenography, industrial and spatial design. The group first formed in 1998 as a collaborative effort of industrial designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković. The group's early enterprises are characterized by experiments with impersonal design and radical formal reduction, deeply rooted in the tradition of high modernism and mainly applied to various synergetic total-design projects in Croatia. From 2004 onwards, after setting up a large scale site-specific project for the production of “Inferno” in the National Centre for Drama in Madrid, Numen/ For Use become intensely involved with scenography. Further realizations in theatres across Europe ensue. Since 2008 the collective turns its focus towards configuring objects and concepts without a predefined function, an activity resulting in the more hybrid and experimental works such as the N-Light series and Tape Installation. Parallel to these publicly exposed ventures, the group wins several international awards for their accomplishments in the field of industrial and set design.
