INTRODUCTION

The Dimnikcobau d.o.o. company is a part of Finforti Holding comprising several companies engaged predominantly in pharmaceutical and medical activities. The largest companies in the group are Medias International d.o.o., wholesaler of pharmaceutical and medical products and Mesi d.o.o. manufacturer of innovative medical equipment. In 2001, Dimnikcobau d.o.o. built an office building Dimnikcobau I on the land next to Leskoškova cesta. While performing its operations there, the company has recognized considerable potential of this site for commercial and storage activities, and therefore it intends to build two new buildings, primarily for rental purposes.

Dimnikcobau d.o.o. wishes to use the plots of land along Leskoškova cesta in Ljubljana to build a modern business park. The investor wishes to obtain a technical solution for development of this area by means of an invited architectural design and urban planning competition, inviting eight internationally renowned architectural firms to participate.

The Investor wishes to leave an architectural and design emphasis in this place in space giving it the brand of a modern office building.

This site presents a challenge for architectural and urban-planning design since it generates new spatial forms. The competition solution shall have to find an answer to the question how to design, within an area without a distinct identity of its own, a recognizable business park which will use the site’s assets to the maximum.
