The contest took place between March 15 and June 15, 2021 Urban Link – Timisoara 15 organized by the Greenforest Timișoara company in partnership with the ErgoWork Society, the Politehnica University of Timișoara through the Faculty of Management in Production and Transport – the Engineering and Management Research Center (EcosEc Laboratory), the Timișoara Community Foundation (FCTM), the FOR Team and the Association from 4.
In the project there were two competitions for teams of 3-5 members each. These were themed "Working and living solutions within the Urban Link 15' concept", respectively "Mobility and urban planning solutions in the context of Timișoara 15' based on canals and green - blue gardens". For each section, a prize of 1.500 lei was offered for the theoretical-bibliographic study and 2.000 lei for the implementation of a pilot concept, which can be in the form of an urban art installation.
Following the selection of projects, the students from the West University of Timișoara - Faculty of Arts and Design were declared winners of the 1st prize. It is about the team made up of students of the 3rd year of the Environmental Design specialization: Bianca Vasilache, Diana Popescu, Lorena-Silvana Cândea, Olga Tarchilă, Tudor-Constantin Chirilov.
Their DESK TO GO project
The proposed object is called "Desk To Go", which could be found in the promenade area of the Bega river or in the pedestrian areas of Piața Unirii or Piaţa Libertății, but could very well serve the garden areas or the orchards that intertwine with the spaces housing of our city. It also fits very well both in the spaces of student campuses and in the area of the faculties or the University of West Timișoara, but also in the green areas in the vicinity of corporations that want to allow employees to work outdoors.
At the same time, "Desk To Go" is an object that is intended to help the organizers of outdoor workshops, relieving them of the worry of transporting heavy objects such as presentation tables to the event venue.
