About the programme Misli prostor / Think Space
The Think Space program aims to bring together world renown and established figures with emerging voices (students and professionals) within the fields of architecture, landscape, design, the arts and the humanities.
The four competitions developed under the theme of Borders, aim to produce a catalogue of contemporary conditions in social, political and cultural spheres in need of architectural alternatives. The international jurors define the competition briefs for participants:
- Urban Borders: Shohei Shigematsu
- Geopolitical Borders: Teddy Cruz
- Ecological Borders: François Roche
- Moral Borders: Hrvoje Njiric

We want to announce that the final of the competition of the program Misli prostor/Think Space will be held in Lauba as the non-conference „Beyond the borders“, November 18 - 20, 2011
Un-conference – Beyond the borders, November 18-20, 2011
The big final of the program Misli prostor/Think Space of the Un-conference Beyond the borders will enable the participants and the winners of the four international competitions to meet in Zagreb with the world-famous architects who were the jurors of the competitions and exchange the ideas and to present the concepts of their work. Apart from the presentations of the works at the meeting Beyond the borders the official award ceremony will be organized to the winners of the four competitions of the annual cycle and the exhibition of the awarded projects. Open call for the applications is soon to be announced, follow the news on the pages of the program.
The partner organization Lauba House provides the perfect place for the Think Space unconference. Austro-Hungarian military riding arena that was recently transformed into a gallery of contemporary art, will offer the participants of the event and encounter with contemporary visual art completely in line with the conceptual philosophy of the Think Space program.
The inspiring and artistic space of Lauba House where sessions and conversations will take place, will faciliate the exploration of the Borders and the interaction of participants in quest for conceptual space. Beyond the Borders un-conference is a forum to talk to peers, learn new things, and build new collaborative networks that will send the participants back to their practices energized and ready to re-think the space.
