ARTICULATION OF URBAN EDGES – REACTIVATING THE RIBNICA AS pODGORICA'S URBAN CLASP
This project explores the revitalization of the Ribnica River corridor in Podgorica through the concept of urban clasps—a system of connectors, attractors, programmatic links, and memory nodes that reconnect the river with the surrounding urban fabric. Although located in the city centre, the Ribnica remains physically and perceptually isolated despite its strong spatial and historical significance. The proposed interventions strengthen pedestrian connections, create new public spaces, and reinterpret places of collective memory while responding to the specific character of different river sections. The project re-establishes the Ribnica as Podgorica's continuous green corridor and an integral element of the city's ecological, social, and cultural identity.
