The location itself was a challenge for the design of this facility because it is nearby the Galeb rowing club, the architect Vukote-Tupa Vukotić, which is ranked among the top architectural monuments in this region. The main goal was to fit into the environment and to respect the traditional Montenegrin architecture. By using traditional and modern materials, a balance was created between the old Montenegrin architecture and at the same time new trends in construction and materialization were observed.

May 2017 Workshop Lego build the change- House on Water, Lecco, Italy The workshop is related to sustainable development in architecture and green construction. The aim of this workshop was to encourage the creativity of young designers and architects, giving them the opportunity to put themselves in the role of children and, on the basis of children’s drawings, get inspiration for the conceptual design of the house on the water. It was necessary to build a dwelling house on water with a maximum surface of 70-100 m2 on one or more levels. The characteristics of these houses should be flexibility and modularity in order to allow the installation of different housing units and their size. The location of the project was at Lake Lecco near Milan. Restrictions existed only on the surface of the housing unit. Designers and architects had complete freedom of design in order to put emphasis on child fantasy and imagination. July 2014 Workshop FlatScapes, Amsterdam and Roterdam, Netherlands In this workshop, students from Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia visited significant buildings in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague, where we are acquainted with the latest achievements in architectural design, applied materials and various urban solutions. University campus was visited, where we were introduced to the work of students from our profession, which had great contribution because of the exchange of experiences with them. In the workshop we worked with other students on the design of various useful items from the obtained cardboard tubes, with which we had complete freedom to express our creativity and to incorporate it into the function. Finally, the presentations of our installations were performed.
