The ARK - Institute for Architecture and Culture was established in 2005 by architect dr. Petra Čeferin, who did her postgraduate studies in Finland and earned a degree doctor of science in frames of Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana. She was honoured a Bruno Zevi Award for her essay entitled Transforming Reality with Architecture: The Finnish Contribution in 2008.

In 2006-2007 ARK organised a series of lectures at the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana under 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 from Sadar-Vuga Arhitekti. The book Architectural Epicentres: Inventing Architecture, Intervening in Reality edited by Petra Čeferin and Cvetka Požar was published by Architecture Museum in 2008.

In May 2009 Next step: Project architecture conference was held at Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre, hosting many prominent names like prof. Kenneth Frampton, prof. dr. Luis Fernádez-Galiano, and dr. Pier Vittorio Aureli. The purpose of the conference was to determine the role of architecture in today's world and to address the question whether is in the time of global capitalism still possible to maintain critical position toward the dominating market-driven structures and practices. A full-day international architectural conference was organised in cooperation with the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana and Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana.
