Founded in 2004 by architects Alenka Korenjak, Ana Grk and Maša Cvetko, ProstoRož - FlowerSpace Association is a non-profit cultural organisation which produces 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, held in Ljubljana both within and outside the framework of the Festival Pomladi (Spring Festival).


Activities and awards

ProstoRož 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.

Among latest interventions there are the new coverings of fountains in the winter time and exhibitions in the abandoned 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 traffic was closed at the main street in Ljubljana 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 architectural studio Kombinat Architects they renovated the Plečnik Underpass and the Tivoli Underpass in Ljubljana.

ProstoRož Association received several awards and mentions, of the most important is ranking among finalists at the international competition The European Prize for Urban Public Space in 2006 for the project ProstoRož – Parks. Female architects ware also granted a title “young prospective designers in the field of interior design” at the event Month of Design in 2008.

Annual ProstoRož Project

First exhibition project ProstoRož happened in 2004 with a transformation of neglected atriums into attractive public spaces. One year later parks were rearranged in order to open new perspectives on the existing grounds. ProstoRož collective focused on the river Ljubljanica in 2007, offering selected areas to public use, while playgrounds were the main theme in 2008 with furniture installed in order to provide children creative territories for play. In 2009 a selected street was inhabited in cooperation with the Mladi levi Festival.
