Our project is something more than a plan for Niuew-Martenese
- it's the strategyof how to change the district into a place full of life, people and great,
unbelievable ideaswhich come true.
We drew the plan after hours of scheming for that place.
We divided our ideas by time and determined 10 steps of forming a neighbourhood society
which live in the valuable space.
