Background
Petra Čeferin did her postgraduate studies in Finland and earned her doctorate in the framework of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana, where she serves as an associate professor. In 2008, she received the Bruno Zevi Award for her essay "Transforming Reality with Architecture: The Finnish Contribution". She founded the ARK Institute together with Jeff Bickert, a producer, writer, editor and copywriter (BiG Design/BiG Architecture), Aljoša Kolenc, a researcher and lecturer (Academy of Design) and Maks Soršak (1964–2012), arts and media projects contributor and former consultant (assistant to the director at the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana).
Projects
In 2005, the Ark Institute began collaborating with the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) by organising a lecture by Finnish architect and designer Illka Suppanen. A further series of lectures in 2006–2007 resulted in the book Architectural Epicentres: Inventing Architecture, Intervening in Reality. The 2009 international architectural conference The Next Step: Project Architecture brought several prominent names from Europe and America to Ljubljana.
In 2006–2007, ARK organised the Architectural Epicentres lectures at the Museum of Architecture and Design. These lectures focused on seven epicentres – Brazil and Mexico in the 1950s, Finland in the 1960s, Switzerland and the USA in the 1980s, Barcelona in the 1990s, and the Netherlands at the close of the 20th century. The closing lecture focused on Slovenia and the (im)possibility of it becoming one of the next architectural epicentres. The speakers were Keith L. Eggener, Hugo Segawa, Harri Kalha, Bart Lootsma, Nott Chaviezel, Mary McLeod, Jose Luis Echeverre, Yasushi Zenno, Rado Riha, and Boštjan Vuga of SADAR + VUGA Architects. 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.
Next Step: Project Architecture
In May 2009, The Next Step: Project Architecture conference was held at Cankarjev dom. The conference hosted a number of prominent names, including Kenneth Frampton of Great Britain (Columbia University, New York), Luis Fernández-Galiano of Spain (School of Architecture, Madrid University, editor of AV/Arquitectura Viva, Madrid), Rado Riha of Slovenia (Institute of Philosophy, Centre for Scientific Research at the Slovenian Academy of Science and Art, Ljubljana), Pier Vittorio Aureli of Italy (Berlage Institute, Rotterdam, visiting professor at the Architectural Association, London), Petra Čeferin of Slovenia (ARK Institute, visiting professor at the Faculty of Architecture, Ljubljana) and William S. Saunders of the 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 examine whether it is still possible, in the age of global capitalism, to maintain a critical position toward the dominant 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.
