This square is one of the most imporatant living spaces of the city which had user access and traffic problems. So, the main aim of the competition was to solve these problems. In the other hand, the commercial and entertainment spaces around the aquare should be cared during       the design process.

The first step of the design process was the basic studies of the city, region and the project needs. Relating out and in and also paying attention to the aesthetic aspects were some other important factors of this project.

One of the important spaces of this urban and architecture project was the parking lot which must be located at underground floors. So the relationship between entrance and exit to the site was extremely important. Controling traffic inside and outside and creating new ways for users, inviting new users to the complex and making the project extiting were some other aims of the project.

To reach these aims, not only the urban and architectural design, but also the industrial and urban furniture design, light design and landscape design of the project were done.

Selecting and proposing right materials, correct ramps inside the site, creating live spaces by green spaces and water and managing the urban spaces and architectural details are some other important parts of urban and architectural design of Independence Square in Podgorica, Montenegro by Studio Eiraji.
