DESCRIPTION:Docomomo Switzerland / TSAM Lectures: Maruša Zorec\, Arrea 
 Architecture\, Ljubljana.\n\n«Some spaces touch us in a special way. Some
 times suddenly and sometimes slowly. In some places this requires a moment
 \, the right light or an open view.\nBy returning to and dwelling in them 
 we discover who we are. «Nothing was yet completed\, before I glimpsed it
 »\, says Rilke\, and architecture too does not spring from nothing\, it a
 lways evolves from a certain time and a chosen space. Good architecture is
  always personal\, and although it addresses the problem at hand the ways 
 and answers it offers can be as countless as the constellations between us
 .\nThe creative process that takes place in our studio is not planned ahea
 d\; the concept grows from the process. The topics that emerge from projec
 ts are inspired by what is already there\; they are born between the layer
 s of the past\, in the silence of moments\, readings\, the beauty of natur
 e and the joy of new encounters. Our world is composed of tiny little piec
 es of life filled with spatial impressions\, quotes and open views. The th
 ought slowly finds a way between them\, gradually shaping a concept so str
 ong that it moves us and reconnects us into a new whole. Architecture\, li
 ke nature\, has the power to stop both time and ourselves\, to reflect and
  see that the beauty that surrounds us is the very same beauty that is ins
 ide us all.\nWe aim to respect tradition and understand the past as a part
  of the living present. We want to open up the space into a free floor pla
 n so that it becomes space for a free spirit and makes way for the light t
 hat brings new life to the voids between old walls. We try to unveil the l
 ayers of past times and link them to the times that are to come. We want t
 o bind the interior and the exterior into a single space of flows and tran
 sitions. When we penetrate a wall or even bring it down it is only to open
  the view onto the natural environment\, to the horizon\, to that scarcely
  legible line in infinity…»\n\nMARUŠA ZOREC has been an independent ar
 chitect since 1992\; she is also assistant professor at the Faculty of Arc
 hitecture in Ljubljana. Most projects by architect Maruša Zorec and his s
 tudio Arrea consist of interventions in existing heritage-listed buildings
  and complexes. Examples include the renovation of the Villa Ventrelli com
 plex\, the design of a day chapel in the basement of a Franciscan monaster
 y and the restoration of the Jože Plečnik’s House in Ljubljana.
