The Next Step: Project Architecture 2009 - Ljubljana

The central question of the conference is, whether today, in the time of globalised capitalism, it’s still possible to practice architecture as a project; that is, as a practice of architectural transformation of reality.

We have invited six renowned experts from home and abroad, from the fields of architecture and philosophy, to explore the significance of this question for the moment; to offer an approach to the question: Prof. Kenneth Frampton, Great Britain (Columbia University, New York), Prof. Dr. Luis Fernández-Galiano, Spain (School of Architecture, Madrid University, editor of AV/Arquitectura Viva, Madrid), Prof. Dr. Rado Riha, Slovenia (Institute of Philosophy, Centre for Scientific Research at the Slovenian Academy of Science and Art, Ljubljana), Dr. Pier Vittorio Aureli, Italy (Berlage Institute, Rotterdam, visiting professor at the Architectural Association, London), Doc. Dr. Petra Čeferin, Slovenia (Zavod ARK, visiting professor at the Faculty of Architecture, Ljubljana) and Dr. William Saunders, USA (Harvard University, editor of Harvard Design Magazine, Boston).
