Founded in 2004 by architects Alenka Korenjak, Ana Grk and Maša Cvetko, ProstoRož - FlowerSpace Association is a non-profit cultural organisation which performs creative and well-considered interventions in public environment, focusing on degraded urban spaces and proposing new solutions for their revitalisation. The name of the association is a combination of the Slovenian words prostor (space) and roža (flower).

The association's main project is the annual site-specific project ProstoRož with a purpose to find and transform abandoned and less frequented yet interesting places in the old city centre and through this present and emphasize them anew. The project is held in Ljubljana both within and outside the framework of the Festival Pomladi (Spring Festival) organised by CodeEp.


ProstoRož made several cooperations with other designers to cultivate public space either through temporary interventions or continuous projects. Among latest are also new coverings of fountains in the winter time and abandoned exhibition windows of shops in the city centre printed with poetry of contemporary Slovene poets. ProstRož also participated in a project Slovenska Street in 2008 when the main street in Ljubljana was emptied during the weekend and inhabited with various cultural programmes of several design studios including CodeEp and Asobi.

The work of the association includes architecture as well. In collaboration with Kombinat they renovated the Plečnik Underpass and the Tivoli Underpass in Ljubljana.

ProstoRož received several honourable mentions; female architects ware also granted a title “young prospective designers in the field of interior design” at the event Month of Design in 2008.


Background

The ProstoRož Association sprung into life as a spontaneous answer to the desire to explore and understand open city space. Its main goal is to bring the state and meaning of public space to general attention through small interventions, exhibitions, lectures and public discussions. The project often addresses neglected, remote areas, which are not put to any use, but could be transformed into dynamic and friendly spaces. Interventions are not mere artistic installations in public areas but also in-depth searching for new city planning options of space use. In their projects experts from various fields of spatial planning, architecture, landscape architecture, city planning, nature conservation, cultural heritage and tourism are involved.
