Adam Kalkin, Artist and Architect, Author of the book Quik Build, USA: Ë?The container is a conceit, something that has manifold meanings. It’s a unit in global exchange; it can be a performance piece; or it can be used to make affordable housing or million-dollar homes; or commercial structures. The thing that’s amazing about all these things is that the spirit is so different in every project. You’re using the same thing but can create so many results—like how a painter uses paint but can paint like Rembrandt or like Jasper Johns.Ë? |

Trimo will build the winning project in Ljubljana and also award the winner with a scholarship for summer session at an acclaimed architecture school.
The international competition, Trimo Urban Crash, offers students and universities an excellent communication channel to efficiently establish contact, an opportunity for knowledge exchange, and comparison of different architectural approaches. Trimo Urban Crash is a competition that encourages creative re-modelling of an urban environment with progressive construction materials and technologies, produced by Trimo, as an established European provider.
The experience of creating a solution for a potentially realisable project is also very important. Trimo strives to expand connections and cooperation with academia, to ensure diverse content for the syllabuses in Faculties of Architecture, and to encourage constructive cooperation between theory, practice, and economics, in different areas. Considering the strong tradition of Trimo’s research development department, and the focus on a professional approach, Trimo Urban Crash is one of many innovative projects.
