OHS Spaces for Reflection: What comes after modernism?

This autumn, Open House Slovenia invites you to join them for the thematic event OHS Spaces for Reflection: What Comes After Modernism?, organised in collaboration with guest curator Blaž Šenica, architect, researcher and editor of a radio programme on architecture.

Through a series of guided tours, we will visit selected architectural projects in Ljubljana dating from the 1970s to the 1990s. The programme will take us across different scales and typologies – from architectural details and interiors to sacred architecture, public space, residential neighbourhoods and larger urban developments.

We will visit the Church of Christ’s Incarnation in Dravlje, Boris Kraigher Square – today’s Ajdovščina, Platana Bar and Bistro and DESSA Gallery, the Zupančičeva Jama mixed-use residential and commercial district, and the Novi Tabor residential neighbourhood. Buildings and spaces that we often encounter in our everyday lives will serve as a starting point for a closer look at one of the most significant periods in recent Slovenian architectural history.

The guided tours will take place in two parts – Part I: 10–12 September and Part II: 6 October 2026. Registration will open on 2 September at 9 am. The programme will conclude on 7 October at 6 pm with a discussion at DESSA Gallery, where, together with our guests, we will open a broader conversation about the architecture that followed modernism and its relevance today.

Andrej Hrausky will present the DESSA Gallery during a guided tour, that will take place on Saturday, 12 September 2026, at 9:30 a.m.
