Podgorica Forest Park 2024

The proposal reimagines the hill as a living landscape rather than a conventional forest park, preserving its natural character through minimal intervention and climate-responsive design.

The concept works with the site’s existing topography, geology and microclimate, integrating native vegetation, natural materials, renewable energy and rainwater harvesting to create a resilient and timeless ecosystem. A network of trails, cultural and recreational spaces, viewpoints, water reservoirs and landscape interventions is carefully embedded within the terrain.

A distinctive concept emerges from the hill’s natural contours, which form a subtle heart-shaped figure. This area is planted with native deciduous trees selected for their seasonal colors, allowing the heart to gradually reveal itself throughout the year. In autumn, the foliage transforms it into a deep red heart within the landscape—a symbolic landmark created entirely through topography and the seasonal transformation of nature.

The project ultimately seeks to establish a subtle dialogue between architecture and landscape, allowing nature to remain the dominant element while human intervention becomes part of its evolution.
