Speakers:

The architectural production of Ljubljana-based Dekleva Gregorič Architects is unavoidably defined by the architectural legacy of the grand Slovene architect Jože Plečnik and his late-modernist successors. The work of Dekleva Gregorič Architects spans different scales and programs as well as diverse climates and localities. Understanding of the specific constraints and conditions of the context is crucial for any subtle response and becomes the ultimate generative tool that aims to challenge the obvious and to challenge the materiality.

Aljoša Dekleva and Tina Gregorič are principals of Ljubljana-based architecture studio Dekleva Gregorič Architects. They pursue the concept of "research by design," with work spanning diverse scales, programs, and localities, ranging from a university campus in Slovenia to a clifftop house in Hawaii. Their work has received numerous international awards, including an Architectural Review house award, an Architizer award, and a WALLPAPER* award, among others.
