Kajža, a project initiated by the Kriterij Institute for the Development of Spatial Culture, is dedicated to integrating cultural and architectural heritage into modern living, rural development, sustainability, and self-sufficiency. It serves as a hub for regeneration and sustainable living, bringing together experts, craftsmen, technologists, preservationists, communities, environmentalists, and more. Kajža acts as an educational tool and idea generator for sustainable lifestyles, exploring permaculture, socially responsible construction, rural revitalization, and harmonious coexistence with nature. It emphasizes the importance of respecting and cherishing our shared architectural, cultural, and natural heritage.
