The program task of this competition is the conceptual design of the congress center with a proposal for arrangement of additional facilities along the route of the road to Dubrovnik within the given location within the part of the zone "Draženska Gora", the city of Trebinje. The congress activity is a polyvalent symbiosis of new facilities that MH “ERS“ wants to establish on the territory of the city, and they represent multifunctional economic and cultural branches that also have some quite specific benefits compared to other types of business. The congress activity combines the expanded scientific, professional, educational and commercial branch of the economy. Meetings of this type present the latest professional knowledge and achievements in a particular field, thus including the area where the meeting takes place in the map and the agenda cycle of a particular activity. The architectural and spatial framework for their realization is a hybrid facility of combined content that primarily enables hosting of congress events.
The architectural features of a new complex and its content indicate future developments in the construction sector in the zone of its location; by activating the area concerned, it gains in value and becomes a desirable location for aditional attractive facilities.
The idea to build a congress center at a given location is part of a broader vision of the development of "dubrovački pravac" of the western zone of Trebinjsko polje (karst field); along with the congress center, it is necessary, at the level of the urban scheme, to design a wider ensemble of additional facilities, namely: a high category hotel, a sports hall and certain public city purposes facilities.

In March 2021, the Biden Administration released the American Jobs Plan, earmarking $213B for “quality” and “affordable” housing, yet the bill lacks specificity on how houses are to be built. Here housing’s problem is split into two: a social one of accessibility and equity, and a material one of wood, metal, and rocks. Architects can play a unique role in bridging abstract policy ambitions to real construction as these connections are made every day in practice.
