The 6th Constructive Alps architecture prize competition in 2022 was particularly fruitful for Slovenia, as three Slovenian projects were shortlisted among a total of 31 projects. We are presenting the exhibition this year as Triglav National Park and Slovenian nature conservation celebrate 100 years since the establishment of the "Alpine Conservation Park", and Slovenia also holds the presidency of the Alpine Convention.
The exhibition will showcase the award-winning and nominated projects and demonstrate the many facets of sustainable architecture - shaping the identity of places and creating spaces that make people feel good. The Constructive Alps travelling exhibition features examples of best practice in sustainable architecture that have been nominated for the architecture prize.
Thirty exhibits reveal the experts' view, while also highlighting the users' perspective on the built and renovated residential houses, kindergartens, leisure facilities and community structures. Many projects emphasise the importance of communal living and focus on the social dimension of architecture.
Among the awarded projects was the renovation of Homestead Šenk in Jezersko, while the nominated projects included Hotel Bohinj and the wooden pedestrian and bicycle bridge titled Brv na Rju.
During the opening of the exhibition, architect Maruša Zorec, a member of the international jury of experts, will talk about the exhibition and we will also talk to the Karničar family, the owners of Homestead Šenk in Zgornje Jezersko.
