BOSTJAN VUGA, SADAR VUGA ARHITEKTI
Bostjan Vuga founded the architectural practice Sadar Vuga Arhitekti (SVA) jointly with Jurij Sadar in Ljubljana/Slovenia in 1996. Over the past years, they have specialised on open, innovative and holistic architectural design and urban planning, focussing on residential schemes, office buildings and city centres. Sadar Vuga Arhitekti has become one of Slovenia’s most successful and largest architecture firms. One of its most spectacular early successes was the new building housing the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Ljubljana, finalised in 1999 and awarded the Trend Preis 2001, the ECCS Steel Design Award 2001 and the Bauwelt Preis 2001. Further realized projects are the central part of the National Gallery (2001), the recently completed residential buildings Condominium Trnovski Pristan and Apartment House Gradaška, which contribute to high-quality urban living on the edge of Ljubljana city centre. With the "Formula New Ljubljana" – a collection of their own realisations and of urban planning studies –, the young architects are now also intervening in the political process. Sadar Vuga Arhitekti are of the opinion that architecture should not function as a mere piece of design, but rather as a way to shape social space. In their view, architecture thus plays an interactive social role. Bostjan Vuga studied architecture at the University of Ljubljana (until 1992) and the AA School of Architecture in London (1993 – 1995). In 2003, he was a studio tutor at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam. Bostjan Vuga has been guest critic amongst others at the AA School of Architecture in London, the Bauhaus Kolleg in Dessau, the IAAC in Barcelona, the ETH in Zurich and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. >>> more
