“Pjacal” in Labin: Open for the citizens or frozen as the socialist monument?
In December 2007, a group of young architects won the first prize in a competition for a New City Library and Multimedia Center (Platforma 981 engaged on Matra project prepared the competition brief). The winning entry anticipated a complex of former industrial (mining) area in the most integrated sense. It anticipated reconstruction of old mining infrastructure according to the needs of locals, children, youth, students, professionals, and the elderly of the city of Labin which would equally use the City Library as the facilities of the Multimedia Cultural Center.

Unrevealed Reality of the last decade
The CANL project is completed with the conclusion that rudimentary development of civic society and not transformed institutions characterized Croatian transitional society today.
Politics and market are two dominant forces that decide upon the future of the territory in an interchange, which is not based, on developed long-term strategies but more as an immediate response to the market requests.
Solutions achieved for major spatial interventions are not presented to the public and there are often exposed by media, which seek to reveal the setting of the "game": Who buys? Who plans? What kind of building is going to happen?
Puls research results
The research was made in seven different units of local self-government that are included in the project of Croatian Archipelago New Lighthouses.
The research was made on a representative sample of randomly selected citizens on seven locations.
Conclusions_Matra project final report
Contemporary Croatian social, political and economic realm plead for the "new generation of plans" that would be capable to delineate coherent strategies that will draw together, in a single common framework, a shared assessment of the factors underpinning social and economic potentials of the territory and informed appreciation of the impact of local initiatives.
