People survive in built-up space 90 percent of your time. For the most part, we are not aware of the impact of built space on our life and work, so on well-being, health, safety, performance and efficiency. We build buildings for at least 50 to 100 years. Before buying, we test cars, phones, etc. Real estate, which is one of our biggest investments in business or private life, is mostly not tested. Therefore, we have not developed the correct criteria for their evaluation and for deciding on construction, renovation and maintenance. Buildings not only architects design. They are created by all people, public decision-makers, investors, users. The open houses of Slovenia enable people to the experience of entering buildings, testing them, getting in touch with architects, users, owners, contractors and other experts.
The program of the festival will be announced at the beginning of April. All tours will require reservations through the website www.odprtehiseslovenije.org.
