The installation by Maruša Zorec and presentation of projects by Arrea Architecture
at the International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia
Work
The two main elements of Arrea projects are "light" and "communication"; both clearly legible in their architecture. In addition their architecture emphasises the freedom of an open space and softens the boarders between interior and exterior, letting one flow into another.
Most of Arrea projects have been awarded prestigious national awards and have also received several honourable mentions. Other projects include the renovation of the Koroška Central Library Dr France Sušnik, Ravne na Koroškem, a daytime chapel in the cellar of the Franciscan monastery in Ljubljana, and a renovation of the Villa Ventrelli Complex, a project made in cooperation with Robert Potokar from Ravnikar-Potokar Architecture Bureau and Ana Kučan from Studio AKKA.
In 2010 Arrea designed the first low-energy wooden youth hostel in Slovenia "Punkl", managed by the Youth Cultural Centre in the Municipality of Ravne na Koroškem.
Awards
In 2012 the Prešeren Foundation Award was granted to Maruša Zorec and the cooperating team for the project Grajska pristava, a subtle renovation of one of the buildings that comprise the Ormož Castle.
In 2010 she received a Piranesi Award together with Matjaž Bolčina for the renovation of the Vetrinje Mansion (Naskov dvorec), where the seat of the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012 is positioned. In 2011 Plečnik Medal was bestowed to authors of the same project.
In 2009 Arrea Architecture received the Plečnik Award for the outdoor altar in Brezje, adjacent to the Basilica of Mary, Help of Christians.
Backgorund
As a professor at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana, Maruša Zorec was for several years assistant to Vojteh Ravnikar, who influenced her way of working and perceiving architecture. Furthermore she admires the work of Slovene architects Edvard Ravnikar and Oton Jugovec, but mostly she is inspired by nature itself.
