Small urban design contribution projects are often fun to do. And these projects are full of passion enthusiasm for doing something for the public with a small in-fill in the city.

The Trimo Urban Crash 2009 competition will run from 1st November 2008 through 31st January 2009 across 11 countries, and is open to all students of architecture. Participating students will design an architectural installation for a real project, for a given location in the centre of the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana.
The installation solution must fulfil several conditions: it must be both, unique and must serve a public purpose. Students are invited to create an urban meeting place, an alternative cultural stage or a wireless information point. Participating students are invited to submit their projects through the competition web site www.trimo-urbancrash.com, which serves as the focal communication point of the competition. An international jury consisting of an academic faculty and practitioners will choose an overall winner from the shortlisted projects in late February 2009. The winning project will be built and taken into permanent use on location in June 2009. Also the winner will be awarded with paid summer school attendance at an acclaimed school of architecture.
The first Trimo Urban Crash competition was held in 2007 when the overall winner – Jelena Grujic from Belgrade – was awarded with realization of her proposed solution and with attendance in summer school at the AA in London.
