Backgorund
As a Professor at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana Maruša Zorec was for several years assistant to Vojteh Ravnikar, who has influenced her way of working and perceiving architecture. Furthermore she admires the work of Slovene architects Edvard Ravnikar and Oton Jugovec, but mostly she is inspired by the nature itself.
