Teren temporarily occupied the location of an abandoned construction site at Masarykova Street, and it served as an experimental site for various activities: gardening, sports, social, small, large, serious, and silly. At the initiative of the City Municipality of Ljubljana and with the coordination of the urban studio Prostorož, the space hosted the Abandoned Plants Sanctuary, artists and designers, school lessons and student workshops. Local residents were able to rent the space for picnics. All the equipment was made from waste items and materials found in the Ljubljana Regional Waste Management Centre.

Instead of trash, a pizza oven, a heated bench, and tango lessons

Over a 100 small events, workshops and picnics took place at the site, which had previously been abandoned for a decade and a half. Even though it is located in the centre of Ljubljana, there was no running water or electricity, and the condition for the use of the space was that an absolute minimum amount of waste would be produced. Abandoned houseplants were given shelter in a compost-heated, self-sufficient greenhouse. Industrial designer Rok Oblak built a prototype bench on the site, which can be heated with biomass briquettes, and set up a compost toilet for visitors of Teren. As part of the curriculum, children and teachers from the Waldorf Primary School built benches and a fireplace and maintained an urban garden. The Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Education organized student workshops and lessons on the site. Gardening inventions were available for horticultural ventures, and cooking enthusiasts could use a fireplace, DIY picnic grill, chapati oven and pizza oven. The covered platform hosted meetings and workshops, as well as tango lessons.
