The municipality of Gabrovo, Bulgaria, has launched an international architectural competition focused on the redevelopment of the former Textile Technical School building. The project aims to transform the site into a multi-functional arts center, envisioned as more than a traditional museum. The competition seeks designs that incorporate artist studios, workshops, and spaces for temporary exhibitions in design and visual arts. Gabrovo officials hope the new center will become a dynamic artistic environment, attracting both local and international creatives. The competition has already generated significant interest from architects worldwide, signaling potential for a landmark cultural project. The winning design will determine the future of this key urban space and its role in the city’s cultural landscape. The project represents a significant investment in the arts for the Gabrovo region.
