During the first year, under the advisory guidance of the Berlage Institute, representatives of the local communities, local authorities and NGO’s together with the CAA Coast Line Office would undertake research with the main aim to define site-specific demands. The research would result in a programme for specific location, which would be a base for a development of the Pilot Projects. As a main result of a first phase, the Pilot Projects would be presented at the MARE NOSTRUM – one of the main international exhibition projects within the 2nd International Architectural Biennale Rotterdam.

During the second year, the Berlage Institute, and its counterpart CAA Coast- Line Office, would supervise a transformation of the Pilot Projects into existing Croatian spatial planning legislative framework. All the activities that follow a legislative procedure of an obligatory spatial planning document would be carried out in a close cooperation between the representatives of local authorities, civil society, and the architectural public.
