In partnership with the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia IPCHS, we would like to invite you to a moderated discussion on the sustainable use of heritage settings, which will take place in the garden of the old sanatorium on Tuesday, 20 August 2024, at 13:00. Invited experts from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, contemporary art, cultural anthropology, conservation and heritage science will discuss the social implications of revitalised heritage ambiences in the urban environment for today’s communities. Among other things, we will address the question of the possibilities of interpreting cultural heritage in relation to contemporary artistic practices and highlight the conservation, architectural and landscape architectural challenges of revitalising heritage settings in the face of climate change.

In case of bad weather. we will move the event to another day!
