Reconstruction of the Slovenian road in Ljubljana
The closure of Slovenska cesta to passenger vehicles was one of the more radical moves of the Ljubljana municipality in the area of architectural planning in the last few years. The success of the integration of the two halves of the center is largely due to the architectural renovation of Slovenska cesta, for which the creators (Aljoša Dekleva, Tina Gregorič, Jana Kocbek, Davor Katušić, Jurij Sadar, Boštjan Vuga, Marko Studen, Boris Matić, Miha Dobrin and Tomaž Krištof) also received the Golden Pencil 2016.
