Docomomo slovenia_100

On Tuesday 25 January 2011 the Ljubljana Architects’ Association’s ‘Docomomo Slovenia_100’ exhibition opens at the Kresija Gallery.

DOCOMOMO SLOVENIA is a satellite unit of the DOCOMOMO INTERNATIONAL organisation, which brings together more than 50 countries worldwide with its headquarters in Barcelona.

The DOCOMOMO SLOVENIA_100 exhibition showcases work presented in a monograph of the same title, with special emphasis on houses of culture in Ljubljana, Velenje, Trbovlje and Zagorje. The monograph spotlights 100 buildings by Slovenian architects constructed in places that were in the Slovenian cultural-political context in the 20th century: Austro-Hungary, Yugoslavia and independent Slovenia.
