| Aim of the project | An architectural research workshop in Perast. This was the first project-expedition that we have conducted. The choice of the location i.e. Perast proved to have had a decisive role in the further development of EXPEDITIO. |
| Activities | During the research, we managed to collected a large quantity of information referring to local legends, historical facts, memories of the local people, to identify all important objects (churches and palaces), to do the reconstruction of the 18th-century coastline, excluding the lower road with the so-called mandraci, to conduct a complete survey of the St. Cross Fortress above Perast. The project was officially supported by the UNESCO. |
