Architecture FOR

Taking place within the context of the 2023 Architecture Stocktaking exhibition, the series of lectures and a round table organised by the Architects’ Society of Ljubljana aim at exploring architecture FOR: architecture that is socially conscious, stimulating, proactive, and sustainable. 

An architecture that is not ‘sustainable’ only as regards energy balance at the moment of handing over the property, but is proactive throughout the complete cycle of its creation and use. The architecture whose engagement is reflected in its design, the architects’ modus operandi, its materials and form, the foresighted reflection on its function, in the origin of its materials, in achieving harmony with nature, in urbanism, flexibility, endurance, as well as removal and recycling/reuse possibilities.

What kind of architecture looks ahead, instead of only seeking answers? What kind of architecture creates a better, more sustainable future, instead of only preventing deterioration and maintaining status quo?

The exhibition includes architectural lectures and student presentations held under the common title Architecture FOR.
