SVET VMES, in collaboration with TERROIR Pty Ltd, architects based in Sydney, Australia, and Assist. Prof. Darja Matjašec from the Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana, received an Honourable Mention in the Open Anonymous Urban Planning – Phase I Competition for the development of new educational buildings for the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Ljubljana.
"The jury views the proposal as a high-quality intellectual provocation that deliberately deviates from the formal requirements of the competition brief by selecting an alternative location for the new campus, thereby violating the terms of the competition. Nevertheless, the authors have developed the architectural solutions for both faculties with the same level of detail and rigour as the other participants, undertaking an equally extensive amount of work. For this reason, the evaluation committee decided to award the project with a special recognition" (ZAPS, 2020).
This recognition affirms the value of our interdisciplinary collaboration and the conceptual clarity of a proposal that sought to envision a future-oriented academic environment.
