Tadej Glažar and SADAR + VUGA Architects at the international architecture symposium Montenegro Days of Oris
Background
Jurij Sadar and Boštjan Vuga both graduated at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana during the 1980s, with Vuga subsequently undertaking postgraduate studies at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. He received the Student Plečnik Award in 1992, the same year when Sadar received (his first) Piranesi Award. In 1994 Vuga co-founded OCEAN, a still operating trans-national network of architects, urban planners and designers.
The duo established the bureau after winning open calls for two of their most well known projects – a rather thorough refurbishment of the National Gallery of Slovenia and the erection of new headquarters for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (GZS).

Architectural philosophy
Sadar+Vuga state their works to be "intentionally imperfect and awkward, robust, and ambiguous, intentionally incoherent and contradictory, where a single architectural project can be described as both monumental and informal at the same time". Aspiring to systematically produce innovative concepts they often opt for an audacious use of materials and colours, sometimes venturing into – as they say – an "expressive heaviness".
Thus the bureau strives not only to create visually challenging landmarks but also to open up public debates. In fact, the office established a certain transparency in their communication with both the public and the investors. However, Boštjan Vuga and Jurij Sadar are also interested in other aspects of architecture: in presenting their work through public appearances, international exhibitions, lectures and symposia. Both also teach at architecture schools (at TU Graz and the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana, respectively).
Reflections
Apart from all this they also consciously (self)historicize their work, letting it be critically reflected not only in catalogues but also in books (The Designers Republic's Adventures In & Out of Architecture (L. King Publishing, 2001), Tendencies (Design Document Series 17, DAMDI, 2006), and Sadar+Vuga: A Review (Hatje Cantz, 2012) as well as in a film-essay, released in 2017 and directed by Damjan Kozole, of Vertigo production studio.
Other public interventions
Additionally, the architects also try to intervene in the political process, as for example with the collection of their own realisations and of urban planning studies presented in the book Formula New Ljubljana (Actar, 2006) and later with the Sports Park Stožice: Possible futures (2016).
The latter is offering possible visions of the entire Sports Park Stožice complex, now for many years an unfinished construction ground. The ideas are a product of an international student workshop, done with students from the Münster School of Architecture, University of Applied, Sciences (MSA) and the Ljubljana based Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Biotechnology.
