Exhibition setup and curation of the content



Project description: Exhibition showcased 50 international examples of innovative business concepts in tourism with quality architecture. A good architecture is often regarded as an unwanted or unnecessary cost. This view tends to forget that good architecture injects added value into its neighbourhood, its locale and the wider region, and that poor architecture reduces the value of a place. Architecture in tourism needs to be repositioned as a long-term investment and not as merely a short-term solution.

The show was divided into four chapters displaying different concepts of interaction between architecture and business ideas: small hotels, renovations, rental houses, and mobile/temporary. Featured cases came from different regions of the world and from very different climatic and other conditions. Exhibition was a part of Month of Design in Slovenia.

ROUND TABLE
Besides the exhibition we coordinated round table on 18.10.2012 at Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Center. Round table was organized to show the potential of Slovene tourism in connection to architecture and wood-construction business. Different leading persons from tourism and wood-construction business were invited to explain their point of view. Furthermore two mayors were asked to tell what municipalities could do on local political level to encourage such activities.

CATALOGUE
In December 2012 also a special edition of HIŠE architectural magazine was published with the title Small Tourist Architecture where we described 50 exhibited projects and prepared interviews with the owners / investors.
