Delavnica Idrijska ulica
Workshop Idrijska Street

Summary/Abstract: The area of Idrijska and Postojnska Street in Ljubljana, with the single family houses and gardens of the former Housing Cooperative, has preserved its initial layout and appearance. Due to its attractive location adjacent to the city centre, the area is under increasing pressure from demands to convert the houses, increase density and change the programme. The workshop, organised on the initiative of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, began with an analysis of the features and processes characteristic of the area. It was followed by the formulation of design guidelines for the possible transformation of houses and other elements. The guidelines preserve the key features of the area, and also enable new programmes to be introduced. Four design solutions illustrate probable scenarios for converting the houses.
