The Faculty of Architecture is also a publisher of professional literature, and the Magazine AR Architecture, Research, a biannual interdisciplinary scholarly magazine of research in architecture and urban design.
History
The Faculty originated in 1920 as the Department of Architecture. At the outset, the school’s artistic orientation was determined in the Middle European tradition and personified by Schinkel, Semper, and Wagner. Jože Plečnik and Ivan Vurnik were successors to this tradition, followed from the 1950s to the 1980s by Professors Edo Ravnikar and Edo Mihevc. In the post-war period the Department of Architecture was for many years part of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, with the exception of a short period between 1950-1954 when it was independent within the framework of the Technical Faculties.
The separate Faculty of Architecture was established in 1995 due to high interest, very efficient studies, and an unusually wide range of areas in which architecture graduates can work successfully. The number of degrees awarded by the Faculty up to the year 2000 was close to 3,000. It currently turns out some 100 students every year. Development in computer science, psychology, and production organisation is now enabling the expansion of activities to new architectural areas.
International Cooperation
The Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana is a member of the Erasmus exchange programme for European students, connecting the youth from all over Europe, exchanging knowledge, skills, and forming new connections.
In 2009 the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana joined the international network of European architectural faculties for the South Africa Ithuba Project – in 2010 a group of students under the professional guidance will build a school in Johannesburg, the Republic of South Africa.
In 2011 The Faculty will host the international conference eCAADe (Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe), accompanied by a workshop. The main topics of the conference are recognition, development, and encouragement of virtual space.
Student Activities
Different student groups operate under the Faculty of Architecture. The Student Council members are legal representatives of views and interests of all students and the faculty of the University in Ljubljana. The ŠOFA is part of the Student Organisation of the University of Ljubljana, operating at the Faculty of Architecture; its student members are entitled for acquiring the financial resources to help arrange a wide scope of extra–curricular activities.
The Slovenian National Committee of the non–profit organization EASA (European Architecture Student Assembly) also operates at the Faculty, organising several international workshops and meetings. In addition, a two-week camps (organised by students of architecture for students of architecture) take place each summer in a different country at the partner faculties abroad.
