The walk, created in collaboration with Open House Slovenia (OHS), University of Nova Gorica, Comune di Gorizia courtesy of architect Luigi Di Dato and ReThinkable will lead participants through key examples of “spaces without borders” and shared lives, telling how contemporary architecture shapes not only urban landscapes but also the social fabric of communities. Architectural design, once confined to the private sphere or elite forums, is now discussed more openly, with a growing emphasis on inclusiveness and sustainability.
In the various stages, attention will be paid to how spaces, be they urban parks, public buildings or residential areas, are also designed to encourage dialogue, inclusiveness and shared experiences.
ReThinkable is pleased to host OHS as a partner for this walk, recognising their long-standing experience in promoting architecture that serves the public good. This walk is thus intended to be a “forum” in which citizens and planners can share ideas and knowledge, in order to rethink the future of both cities in ways that respond to the social and environmental challenges of our time.
Open House Slovenia (OHS) has been at the forefront of this change. For over 10 years Open House Slovenia festival, part of the global Open House Worldwide network and Open House Europe project, has been showcasing notable examples of architecture that respond to community and environmental needs. The festival celebrates how architecture can create stronger, more connected communities by giving people access to spaces typically closed to the public. It builds bridges between professionals and the curious public by utilising their common passion for architecture. The OHS has played a fundamental role in bringing architecture closer to citizens, making it a space of open dialogue and community involvement.
