ECoC 2025 - International Project and Ideas Competition
The competition is divided into two parts: - Area 1 - Project proposals for the redevelopment of Piazza Transalpina / Trg Evrope with the transcultural center EPICenter; - Area 2 - Proposals and ideas for the redevelopment of the cross-border belt from Salcano to Casa Rossa. The competition is launched by the EGTC GO with the support of UIA and is part of a joint program of the municipalities of Nova Gorica and Gorizia for the infrastructural, economic and cultural development of this unique area in the center of Europe, a crossroad of tradition and modernity. The redevelopment of Piazza Transalpina / Trg Evrope, with the construction of an transcultural center called EPIcenter, located exactly on the border and with the foundations in both states, plays a fundamental role for the candidacy of Nova Gorica and Gorizia as European Capital of Culture 2025 (ECOC 2025).
