Četrtek, 4.9.2025 – 18:00, Plečnikova predavalnica, Fakulteta za arhitekturo, UL

Lepo vabljeni na predavanje arhitektke dr. Anne Font, ki bo podrobno obravnavalo pojem “značilnosti” v arhitekturi. To bo vključevalo kontekstualizacijo izraza “značilnost” v arhitekturi in filozofiji, ki bo uvod v predstavitev linije arhitekturnih značilnosti iz produkcije njene pisarne skozi čas in geografske prostore. Na podlagi tega pregleda se bo razprava o vrednotah, kontinuiteti in mestu vrnila k delu, ki se razvija prek študije Plečnika in sodobne Ljubljane v okviru agende Nanoturizem.

Dr. Anna Font je arhitektka, ki v svojem delu združuje akademsko, uredniško in oblikovalsko delo. Zanima jo konvergenca digitalnih pristopov in kritičnega mišljenja v arhitekturi.

Anna je magistrirala arhitekture na Harvard University GSD in doktorirala v programu “umetniški doktorat” na Architectural Association, School of Architecture v Londonu, kjer je danes prodekanja za študijske zadeve. Na AA trenutno poučuje v podiplomskem programu Emergent Technologies and Design (Emtech), v preteklosti pa je bila vodja programa Projective Cities MPhil in mentorica v programu Environmental Technical Studies v Diploma School.

The Architectural Trait

The lecture will elaborate on the concept of trait in architecture. This will involve a contextualisation of the term in architecture and philosophy, preluding the presentation of a lineage of architectural traits from within the production of the office across time and geographies. Underpinning this map, a discussion on ideas of value, continuity, and the city, will circle back to the work being unfolded via the study of Plecnik and contemporary Ljubljana under the agenda of Nanotourism.

Dr Anna Font is an architect, her work combines academic, editorial and design projects. She is interested in the convergence of computation and critical thinking in architecture.

Anna holds a Master’s in Architecture II from the Harvard University GSD (Cambridge, MA) and a PhD in Design from the Architectural Association (London, UK). Anna is Head of Learning at the Architectural Association, where she currently teaches in the Emergent Technologies and Design postgraduate programme (Emtech), having previously been Course Master at the Projective Cities MPhil postgraduate programme, and Environmental Technical Studies Tutor in the Diploma School.
