Blogging with the Best:
ZavodBig.com – The Blog
Future design and architectural practice synergy. Through an active
internet presence, Zavod Big focusses on and develops issues
surrounding architecture and the built environment, design and
technology. We look at projects, concepts, events and developments
both close to home and around the world to gain new perspectives on
the design-driven world around us.
Look to the blog – updated daily – for news items, stories, profiles
and of course, postings from contributors and readers that make it a
dynamic platform for exchange. And follow upcoming design,
architecture and fashion conferences and events as they develop and
unfold and stay informed, compelled, even provoked. The synergy-driven
blog experience.
HIŠE Magazine
Hiše is a magazine about new dimensions in living: architecture, design, interiors, gardens, biointelligence.
Each issue builds around a central theme, such as smart materials and applications, coastal projects, technology, the natural environment, urban living and more.
Hiše magazine aims to enhance the culture of living, which is why it is intended for a broad readership, and features recent news and developments, new home furnishings and techniques, with a focus on contemporary public and private housing and residential projects.
Although it is published in Slovene, many foreigners read it as well. But the majority of readers are people who are: building their (first) house; buying their (first) flat; renovating or refurbishing their homes; looking for creative spatial solutions; interested in trends in architecture and design; or practice architecture and design, such as architects, landscape architects, industrial, product and graphic designers, urban and spatial planners, and design-conscious companies.
Slovenia is such a beautiful country. It would be a terrible shame to execute insensitive buildings. Hiše magazine.
Month of Design
In five years, the annual Ljubljana-based Month of Design event has developed into a provocative and proactive platform for presenting and recognising creative individuals who are driven by dedication and determination to shape a better, smarter and more engaging world around them.
What distinguishes them is their ability to work and reach beyond both their time and outside the conventional confines of space and materiality.
And it’s because they differ from others that Month of Design rewards them, and provides a platform for their engaging thoughts and an exhibition space for their strong and highly unique work. Month of Design takes them out into the city, inviting them out among people, among an active, interested and engaged public; and to a party.
In 2008, Month of Design finds inspiration in “Experience”, and builds on three central themes: Designing Bodies, Space and Mind. All this and more: Month of Design and Design Conference
Big Architecture Conferences
Architecture plays an increasingly influential role in shaping not only the built environment around us but what takes place, how life unfolds in a world that moves, communicates and changes ever faster and in ever-more complex forms and fashions.
Big Architecture Conference events seek to address specific issues in architecture, design and building practice today; to serve as a forum for distinguished offices both established and up and coming; as a platform on which to exchange of ideas, offer strong, constructive opinion and take part in a relevant and compelling dialogue.
By inviting guest speakers from around the world, assembled around a well-defined theme-subject, Big Architecture creates an event environment that draws a diverse crowd of professionals and enthusiasts alike together. That’s Big Architecture.
