Architecture Inventory 2022–24

Biennial Exhibition of the Architects' Society of Ljubljana 

Space is a finite, irretrievable commodity. With every intervention into space, we also change its context, ecosystems, usage and future potential. As architects, we are committed to protecting public space, the built and natural landscape, the meaningful preservation of the existing, and the continuity of technological know-how about building. On the other hand, we are also dedicated to well-considered land development and sensible urban densification, the development of new construction technology and the creation of spaces that allow for modern living and usage. Responsibilities towards the past, the existing and the future are not mutually exclusive. 
How are the architect's responsibilities perceived in this day and age? Which values are particularly relevant to the environment in which architects work today? What is responsibility in architecture and which areas of practice does it affect? The Architecture Inventory exhibition, an overview of the projects implemented by the members of the Architects' Society of Ljubljana over the course of two years, reflects on architecture's responsibility towards space.
