New Slovenian Architecture, an exhibition by Damir Kovačič and screenings of Small and Smart: Contemporary Slovenian Architecture on Film produced by Museum of Architecture and Design and ARK - Institute for Architecture and Culture at BINA 2013
The ARK - Institute for Architecture and Culture was established in 2005 by architect Petra Čeferin, who did her postgraduate studies in Finland and earned a doctor of science degree in the frame of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana. In 2008 she was honoured with a Bruno Zevi Award for her essay entitled Transforming Reality with Architecture: The Finnish Contribution. In 2005 Zavod Ark started to collaborate with Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) organising a lecture of Finnish architect and designer Illka Suppanen. A further series of lectures in 2006–2007 resulted in a book Architectural Epicentres: Inventing Architecture, Intervening in Reality, while in 2009 an international architectural conference Next step: Project architecture brought to Ljubljana a few prominent names from Europe and America.
In 2006–2007 ARK organised a series of lectures at the MAD under the title Architectural Epicentres. These lectures focused on seven epicentres – Brazil and Mexico in the 1950s, Finland in the 1960s, Switzerland and USA in the 1980s, Barcelona in the 1990s, and the Netherlands at the close of the 20th century, while the concluding lecture focused on Slovenia and the (im)possibility of its becoming one of the next architectural epicentres. The lecturers were Keith L. Eggener, Hugo Segawa, Harri Kalha, Bart Lootsma, Nott Chaviezel, Mary McLeod, Jose Luis Echeverre, Yasushi Zenno, Rado Riha and Boštjan Vuga (cf. Sadar-Vuga Arhitekti). The book Architectural Epicentres: Inventing Architecture, Intervening in Reality edited by Petra Čeferin and Cvetka Požar was published by the Museum of Architecture and Design in 2008.
In May 2009 the Next step: Project architecture conference was held at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, hosting many prominent names like Kenneth Frampton, Great Britain (Columbia University, New York), Luis Fernández-Galiano, Spain (School of Architecture, Madrid University, editor of AV/Arquitectura Viva, Madrid), Rado Riha, Slovenia (Institute of Philosophy, Centre for Scientific Research at the Slovenian Academy of Science and Art, Ljubljana), Pier Vittorio Aureli, Italy (Berlage Institute, Rotterdam, visiting professor at the Architectural Association, London), Petra Čeferin, Slovenia (ARK Institute, visiting professor at the Faculty of Architecture, Ljubljana) and William S. Saunders, USA (Harvard University, editor of Harvard Design Magazine, Boston).
The purpose of the conference was to determine the role of architecture in today's world and to address the question whether in the time of global capitalism it is still possible to maintain a critical position toward the dominating market-driven structures and practices. The full-day international architectural conference was organised in cooperation with the Museum of Architecture and Design and the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana.
