- Site-specific cases
Through the altruistic, experimental, activist initiative of the concept - project O:TVORENO*, the work of the group is based on the self-initiated action of architects and the inclusion of the local population in the educational process of design and construction, as well as in engagement of individuals of wide multi-media spectrum in interdisciplinary, design-social projects in (mainly neglected) public spaces.
The methodology of action ranges from individual, thoughtful guerrilla actions in public spaces to interactions with citizens of all ages on site-specific projects, through two phases in particular: 1) cognitive-research work in the field of learning and drawing 2) collaborative practical actions and applied design.
*O:TVORENO is a play of mixed words and relationship between them: otvoreno - open : tvoreno - been created (made) / otvoriti [prostor] - to open [the space] : tvoriti [mesto] - to create (make) [the place] / otvaramo = (We) open : tvorimo (We) create (make)
IGRALIŠTE | PLAYGROUND, Youth Park, Čačak, Serbia
Collaborative transformation of neglected space under the pedestrian bridge into children's playground. Instead of dumps, a playground is created, while instead of waste, discarded materials found in local yards become a part of design. Besides its primary function - a communication between the banks, the bridge becomes a canopy for different spatial programs.

OSMATRALIŠTE | WATCHTOWER, Breza Camp, Divčibare, Serbia
The relationship between the abandoned car camp enviroment and the pleasant mountain ambient, as well as the immediate proximity of the children’s resort and hiking trails connecting it to this location, transform the identified problem into potential in the form of spatial-program intervention - place of gathering, rest and recreation.

U REALNOSTI | IN REALITY, Museum of Applied Art, Belgrade, Serbia
A guerrilla intervention in public space as a counterpoint to the material exposed in the form of poster within 39th Salon of Architecture, as well as its programmatic continuation. It represents a reminiscence of the “Jugopetrol” Gas Station, a demolished work of the architect Ignjat Popović, as an extended external space of Museum of Applied Art.

U PROSTORU SLOBODE | IN SPACE OF FREEDOM, Bob & sledge track, Sarajevo, B&H
Bob and sledge track was built for the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics, after which the track is divided into three independent parts, in an attempt to adapt to the everyday needs of use. The project, as an open process, explores the theme through the concept of game and playing, creating a layered mix of new readings into the existing context of bob and sledge track.

OKO, Javorov Do Lake, Bjelašnica, B&H
Oko (the eye) on one side represents the lake itself in the landscape of the hill (while the other eye is an amphitheater), as the theme of spatial installation, but also the circular motion path around (oko) it. O:TVORENO OKO (O:PEN EYE/AROUND) is a conceptualization of the play of words and its meanings in a metaphorical and practical sense.*
* in Serbian, “oko” has two meanings: an eye & around
