SUMMARY:Open House Slovenia 2026: All Measures of Architecture
DESCRIPTION:The 17th Open House Slovenia Architecture Festival returns from 17 to 19 April 2026\, opening the doors of more than 100 outstanding architectural projects across Slovenia and beyond. From contemporary homes and public buildings to cultural institutions\, construction sites and urban walks\, the festival offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience architecture from the inside through free expert-led guided tours. \nThis year’s theme\, All Measures of Architecture\, explores how architecture shapes our lives at different levels — from the intimacy of the home to public space\, landscape and community. It asks: Where is architecture headed? Who does it speak to? For whom is it designed? Beyond physical dimensions\, the festival highlights architecture as a measure of relationships\, inclusivity\, responsibility and dialogue. \nVisitors will be able to explore a rich selection of projects across the country\, including newly completed buildings\, heritage sites\, innovative timber architecture and some of the most significant construction sites currently underway in Slovenia. The programme also extends beyond Slovenia’s borders\, with selected guided tours from Slovenian authors in Trieste\, Italy. \nA special feature of the festival is its emphasis on the direct experience of space: architecture is not only observed from the outside\, but entered\, felt and understood through movement\, light\, material and everyday use. \nAdmission is free\, with mandatory registration opening on 8 April 2026 via www.odprtehiseslovenije.org/festival\, where the full programme is also available. \nVisitors can also vote for their favourite projects through the OHS Award 2026\, starting on the first day of the festival.

SUMMARY:Border Affinities. Architecture between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Border Affinities. Architecture between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia / Le affinità di confine. Architetture tra Friuli Venezia Giulia e Slovenia brings together two countries (Slovenia and Italy)\, two photographers (Miran Kambič and Roberto Conte) and two curators (Luka Skansi and Paolo Nicoloso). \nThe opening of the exhibition will take place on Monday\, 23 February at 7 p.m. in the Grand Reception Hall of Cankarjev dom\, and it will be on view until 19 March. \nThe exhibition in Ljubljana is organised in collaboration between Open House Slovenia (OHS)\, Cankarjev dom\, the Embassy of the Republic of Italy in Ljubljana\, the Italian Cultural Institute in Ljubljana\, ERPAC\, and the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. \nBorder Affinities. Architecture between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia\n/ Le affinità di confine. Architetture tra Friuli Venezia Giulia e Slovenia reveals the century-long architectural dialogue between Slovenia and Italy in an as yet unseen way. With carefully paired diptychs\, it uncovers surprising parallels between cities\, cultures\, and nations whose ties have always been closer than meets the eye\, and raises questions about the boundaries in human memory\, perception\, and shared cultural space. The exhibition features eighty large-format photographs taken especially for the project\, investing it with a rare visual\, research\, and documentary value. Exploring the parallels\, similarities\, and differences between architecture in Slovenia and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in the last 150 years\, the project perceives space as a historical document\, a cultural bond\, and a live medium of human identity. \nThe chosen reference point for this exploration is the diptych\, i.e. the side-by-side juxtaposition of images of buildings constructed in the two countries.\nThe Slovenian part of the presentation features prominent architectural landmarks\, including works by Jože Plečnik\, Edvard Ravnikar\, Oton Jugovec\, and Boris Podrecca\, as well as projects by younger architects\, including the architectural firms Arrea\, Bevk Perović arhitekti\, Dekleva Gregorič arhitekti\, Ofis arhitekti\, and others. The exhibition raises fundamental questions about how buildings separated by a distance of a few tens or hundreds of kilometres tend to show surprisingly similar cultural ambitions\, and how architectural form displays the political and social ideologies of various historical periods. \nThe exhibition explores how history has the power to imprint itself on both urban and architectural fabric and how these layers of time continue to shape our perception of the region today. Organized into chronological chapters\, from the Austro-Hungarian era\, the interwar years\, the socialist Yugoslavia\, and the post-war modernization and transformation of the region\, Border Affinities reflects the depth of architectural dialogue between two geographically close yet historically divided realities over the last century and a half. \nThe exhibition Border Affinities. Architecture between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia / Le affinità di confine. Architetture tra Friuli Venezia Giulia e Slovenia was on view in Trieste\, at the Magazzino delle Idee (Warehouse of Ideas)\, between 3 July and 30 November 2025\, and formed part of the accompanying programme for GO! 2025 – European Capital of Culture Nova Gorica/Gorizia. The newly staged exhibition in Ljubljana’s Cankarjev dom presents the Slovenian public with an engaging visual narrative\, a multifaceted portrait of the shared architectural and cultural history of two regions\, two nations\, and two neighbouring cultural spaces. \nPatrons of the exhibition in Ljubljana:TOSIDOS\, Construction Engineering and Execution\, Ltd.; Protim Ržišnik Perc\, GDH Ltd.; Association of Architects of Ljubljana; Illy Slovenia – Espresso Ltd.
