Riassunto

Sadar + Vuga is a Slovenian architecture office that caused an international sensation even with its fi rst building, the quarters of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, realized in Ljubljana in 1999. Since then, the office―with its unmistakable and charismatic architectural language―has secured a place for itself in the international architecture scene. Having been able to realize the majority of their projects in Ljubljana, Sadar + Vuga have made a strong impact on the contemporary urban texture of the Slovenian capital city like very few architects before them. Even so, their projects quite consciously forego adhering to a homogeneous formal language. Rather, each of them develops its expression from a precise interpretation of its particular contextual and programmatic circumstances. Instead of simply creating spaces for objects representing pre-formulated lifestyles, Sadar + Vuga’s buildings make systematic pinpricks that stimulate our aesthetic power of judgement.

Sadar + Vuga see their architecture as a perceptual catalyst for the formation of our weltanschauung, the way we look at the world. And they want to make us look at the world―especially the one between buildings―in a different way, so that we can also act differently in it.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Sadar+Vuga is a Slovenian architectural office whose first building, the headquarters of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce in Ljubljana, built in 1999, created an international uproar. The office-with its inimitable, charismatic architectural vocabulary-has since secured a place on the international architectural scene. Sadar+Vuga have erected most of their sixteen finished buildings in Ljubljana and in doing so have left their mark on the face of the Slovenian capital in a way that only a few other architects have done previously. Now, with Sadar+Vuga: A Review, we have the most extensive portrait of their work before us. Besides a comprehensive catalogue of projects, the book contains an atmospherically dense photo essay as well as an unusual, discursive reflection on the works of Sadar+Vuga in the form of a peer review, recorded in Ljubljana, and featuring Jacob van Rijs, Philip Ursprung, J?rg Leeser, Mark Lee, and Duncan Lewis.
