This proposal examines Ljubljana as a compact and legible cultural infrastructure system in which museums, universities, public space, and landscape operate as a continuous urban framework. Developed for the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) and the BIO 29 Biennial of Design, the project approaches cultural infrastructure as a soft spatial system through which knowledge, memory, and collective life are organised and maintained.
Using MAO as a strategic point of entry, the proposal investigates how cultural institutions, pedestrian corridors, river landscapes, and green systems structure urban continuity and civic experience. It treats the city not as a collection of isolated institutions, but as an interconnected cultural field, and proposes methods for mapping and interpreting these relationships through exhibition and design research.
Conceived as both a local case and a transferable model, the project opens toward a broader question: how cultural infrastructure can help articulate natural and industrial landscapes as part of a shared territorial understanding.
