The second speaker of November Talks 2021 will be Slovenian Plečnik Prize winner Maruša Zorec.
Maruša Zorec is a Slovenian architect who, together with her colleagues from ARREA arhitektura, has won numerous national awards such as the Prešeren Prize, the Plečnik Award, the Piranesi Prize and the Stele Prize for the preservation of Slovenian cultural heritage. In their projects for the restoration of the Plečnik House or the extension of the Ormož Castle, a sensitive yet bold approach to the restoration of historical buildings is appreciated. A typical method is the reduction of historical architecture to key principles that take on new meaning with new interventions.
The lectures in English are intended for the general public, admission is free and the venue is wheelchair accessible. The programme will also be streamed on the YouTube channel. A welcome drink will be available from 5:30 pm, together with an informal meeting with the speakers.
The November Talks series has been supported by the Sto Foundation at European schools of architecture since 2006. This year, November Talks are also being held in London, Paris, Venice, Stuttgart, and Graz.
