Competitions and achievements
1. Memorial Center and World War I Museum at Mountain Cer, Serbia (2018) - First Prize
This project included the team's first use of the Rhino Grasshopper-Archicad connection for facade design. The facade pixels were generated in Grasshopper and directly transferred to Archicad, significantly enhancing their design workflow and methodology.
2. New Faculty for Musical Arts in Belgrade, Serbia (2022) - Final Entry
For this UNDP competition, 4MIND advanced their use of parametric elements and the Rhino Grasshopper-Archicad connection. This was also their first submission to use live connections to Twinmotion, the visualization tool, resulting in impressive animations and visual rendering.
3. New Electrical Faculty and Technical Campus in Belgrade, Serbia (2023) - First Prize
The team applied their accumulated BIM knowledge to the submission and developed the project for permissions within six months after winning. They completed 90% of the project documentation in BIM, leading to efficient cost calculations and a construction site IFC model with their colleagues from Bexel Manager.
4. Museum of Contemporary Arts and Natural History Museum with Botanical Garden in Podgorica, Montenegro (2024) - First Honorable Mention
Competing against renowned international offices, their first honorable mention was a significant achievement. They utilized new features in Archicad 27, such as Design Options and AI Visualizer during the concept development.
