  • Art Nouveau Ljubljana
    LJUBLJANA T O W N T R A I L ART NOUVEAU ART NOUVEAU - ART RENOUVEAU 2014-2017 THERE ARE NO STRAIGHT LINES OR SHARP CORNERS IN NATURE. THEREFORE, BUILDINGS MUST HAVE NO STRAIGHT LINES OR SHARP CORNERS. ANTONIO GAUDI LJUBLJANA ART NOUVEAU The term »Secession Ljubljana« (the term »secession« in Slovenia is used after the example of the Vienna Secession) is a name for the neighbourhood between the old city centre and the main train station. This neighbourhood was mostly (re)built between the years of 1895 and 1910. It includes many important and well preserved architectural art works, but its pride is mostly in the richly decorated facades, which give it a special character. On Easter, the 14th of April 1895 Ljubljana, with 31,000 citizens and 1,400 buildings, was shaken by a very strong earthquake. About 10% of the buildings had to be demolished and all the rest were in need of a restoration. The city turned into a vivacious building site, in the next decade over 400 buildings were made, many were restored, electrical public lighting was introduced in the city and the sewage system was improved. A renaissance of the city began, that left important traces in the city centre all until today. MIKLOŠIČ SQUARE The square infront of the Judge Palace was first symbolically called the Slovenian square and was made by the plans of Maks Fabiani in 1900. The park was almost completely surrounded by buildings, built between the years 1900 and 1907 and represents the most beautiful Secession ambient in Ljubljana.

  • Arhitektura Gradi Državo • Architecture Builds the State
    abarhitektov bilten / Architect’s Bulletin mednarodna revija za teorijo arhitekture / International Magazine for Theory of Architecture UDK 71/72 ISSN 0352-1982 številka / Volume 211 • 212 november 2017 / November 2017 letnik / Anno XLVII Arhitektura gradi državo • Architecture Builds the State Mojca Hren Openness of Public Buildings in the Context of the Modern State Abstract All the countries in the world are bound by the goals of Agenda 2030, which include ensuring open, secure, resilient and sustainable cities and human settlements. These goals play an important role in promoting social progress. The key characteristic of progressive cities should be their openness to the general public and equal accessibility for everyone regardless of their gender, race, age, or social status, and under the same conditions. Public buildings with their associated public spaces form an integral part of the city. For public buildings to be truly public these should follow the same principles as the open city. And it is architecture that has the power to design such truly public buildings. Unfortunately, Slovenia has not yet recognized that it could constitute itself as a modern state through the architecture of public buildings. Keywords: state, values of social progress, public building This article deals with the topical issues of the architecture of public buildings in Slovenia after 1991 viewed through the social values of progress. The introductory presentation of the issues and key terms (state, social values of progress, public building) is followed by an attempt to find the answer to the question which principles of the modern state should public buildings reflect and enforce, using the listed references (the primary reference being an essay by Richard Sennett entitled The Open City).

  • Analiza Trga Upravljanja Nepremičnin
    6 UNIVERZA NA PRIMORSKEM 201 FAKULTETA ZA MANAGEMENT MAGISTRSKA NALOGA PETER KERN MAGISTRSKA NALOGA MAGISTRSKA PETER KERN PETER KOPER, 2016 UNIVERZA NA PRIMORSKEM FAKULTETA ZA MANAGEMENT Magistrska naloga ANALIZA TRGA UPRAVLJANJA NEPREMIČNIN Peter Kern Koper, 2016 Mentor: prof. dr. Štefan Bojnec POVZETEK V magistrski nalogi je kompleksno obdelano področje upravljanje nepremičnin, ki zahteva od ponudnikov na trgu vse bolj poglobljena in široka znanja tako tehničnih kot ekonomskih ved. V prvem delu magistrske naloge je obdelan pristop k celovitemu vzdrževanju večstanovanjskih stavb. V drugem, raziskovalnem delu pa je izvedena analiza kakovosti izvajanja vzdrževanja večstanovanjskih stavb glede na velikost podjetja ter analiziran celoten trg upravljanja nepremičnin, predvsem v povezavi med ceno storitve s koncentracijo nepremičnin in številom podjetij na posameznih območjih delovanja. Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da se upravniki nepremičnin zavedajo uvajanja preventivnega vzdrževanja in zagotavljanja kakovosti storitev ter da je koncentracija upravnikov nepremičnin na območju delovanja odvisna predvsem števila nepremičnin, cena njihovih storitev pa ni nujno odvisna od števila upravnikov na področju delovanja. Podana so tudi priporočila za nadaljnji razvoj in nove možnosti za uspešno delovanje. Ključne besede: nepremičnine, upravljanje, vzdrževanje, večstanovanjske stavbe, etažna lastnina, storitve, kakovost, dodana vrednost. SUMMARY In the master’s thesis the area of real estate management was complexly processed. From the providers on the market it demands ever more extensive knowledge both on technical and economic fields. In the first part of the thesis we investigated the overall maintenance of the apartment buildings. In the second – research – part the analysis was carried out on the quality of the maintenance implementation at the apartment buildings in respect to the providers’ size.

It connects the prehistory of pile-dwellers with the 2000-year-old Roman Emona, the medieval centre below the castle hill with rich Baroque façades, the beauties of Art Nouveau with the creations of Jože Plečnik, significant architect and urbanist of Europe.

Slovenia is a story of love, a love of being active in nature, which is almost second nature to Slovenians. In every large town or village, you can enjoy a view of green hills or Alpine peaks, and almost every Slove- nian loves to put on their hiking boots and yell out a hurrah in the embrace of the mountains. Thenew guidebook will show you the most beauti- ful hiking trails around Slovenia and tips on how to prepare for hiking, what to experience and taste, where to spend the night, and how to treat yourself after a long day of hiking. Save the dates of the biggest hiking celebrations in Slovenia – the Slovenia Hiking Festivals. Indeed, Slovenians walk always and everywhere. We are proud to celebrate 120 years of the Alpine Associati- on of Slovenia, the biggest volunteer organisation in Slovenia, responsible for maintaining mountain trails. Themountaineering culture and excitement about the beauty of Slovenia’s nature connects all generations, all Slovenian tourist farms and wine cellars. Experience this joy and connection between people in motion. This is the beginning of themighty Alpine mountain chain, where the mysterious Dinaric Alps reach their heights, and where karst caves dominate the subterranean world. There arerolling, wine-pro- ducing hills wherever you look, the Pannonian Plain spreads out like a carpet, and one can always sense the aroma of the salty Adriatic Sea.
