Blaž Parežnik is a graduate architect-urban planner, focused on innovative and sustainable approaches in urban and architectural design. He gained his knowledge at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana and through an Erasmus exchange at the University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig. He has participated in various international workshops, competitions and roundtables, such as the competition for the residential neighbourhood of Mestni kare Povšetova and the International Week workshop, where he contributed to the design and layout of urban spaces.
Nadej Rešek is a 3rd year architecture student at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana. In addition to his studies in architecture, he is passionate about analog architectural photography, which explores spatial composition and the atmosphere of a space in combination with architectural sketches. His work also includes areas of performing arts such as film and music.
In a time of accelerating climate change, we will increasingly face extreme weather events in the future, such as the August 2023 floods in the Črna na Koroškem, region of Carinthia. These have exposed shortcomings in spatial planning and resilience. Design studio Glažar took an interdisciplinary approach to the transformation of the Mežica Valley, with a focus on Črna na Koroškem, in the academic year 2023/24. "In our projects, students worked on integrated sustainable solutions, post-flood reconstruction and increasing the resilience of the place. In urban-architectural planning, we looked at space through different scales: XL - regional, L - municipal, M - local and S - micro-locational, which allowed us to have a holistic understanding of the whole as well as of the individual parts."
