V Muzeju za arhitekturo in oblikovanje (MAO) smo 15. junija 2023 odprli prvo pregledno razstavo arhitektke in oblikovalke Janje Lap (1929–2004).

Zaključek razstave Produkcijske platforme BIO27, med 23. in 25. septembrom v MAO, bo obeležen z naborom dogodkov in aktivnosti, ki predstavljajo njeno delovanje v sklopu 27. izdaje bienala oblikovanja. Dnevi produkcijske platforme BIO27 bodo raziskovali tudi odnos do trajnostnega oblikovanja in trajnosti na splošno pri mlajši generaciji slovenskih oblikovalcev in ustvarjalcev.

Futuring's objective is to use the biennial to interrogate its practices and future; to observe, source, and examine the existing sustainable practices in cultural production. Our findings are collected in an open-source toolkit and offer selected perspectives on sustainability. The findings will enable cultural institutions, designers (and individuals) to reduce the environmental impact of their work.

S čim se danes soočajo oblikovalci pri oblikovanju knjig? Katere težave pestijo založništvo in kako se založniki lotevajo oblikovanja knjig, tega tako pomembnega dela v procesu izdaje knjige?

Kaj pomeni oblikovati, tiskati oz. izdajati knjige danes?
