Square Utopias
2019
Series Square Utopias illustrates five texts written by students of seminar of theoretical practice, Faculty of architecture, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Isn't architecture basically just four walls and a roof?1 is the question architect Reinier de Graaf was dealing with. Articles written by students try to explain through examples of modern Slovenian architecture - University Medical Centre Ljubljana (Stanko Kristl), House on Mirje (Oton Jugovec), ŠS-6 (Ilija Arnautović), Ferant
Garden Residential Quarter (Edvard Ravnikar) and Mladi Rod Kindergarten, unit Vetrnica (Stanko Kristl) -
that architecture itself is always a concrete utopia2 and simultaneously much more than four walls and a roof.
