On the outskirts of Ljubljana, along the Večna pot where three faculties are currently located; The Faculty of Biotechnology, the Faculty of Computer and Information Science and the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, two additional faculties are going to be built in the future, i.e. the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Pharmacy, which aims to establish the first student campus.
In the location where a large flow of people is expected in
the future, there is a lack of public space that would connect and integrate the newly created student campus. In addition, there is a lack of diverse food options in the area. Therefore, I am designing a Culinary Market, located between the Faculty of Biotechnology and the Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics.
An educational and economically sustainable processes are
going to be met in cooperation with the students of the Faculty of Biotechnology, where they study plants in lecture rooms and laboratories, grow them on the building roofs and then present them to the Culinary Market as a product or in a dish.
A sustainable solution which reduces environmental pollution
due to the transport and get an immediate response, which
is implemented as an example of good practise back in the
lecture halls, laboratories and roofs. The culinary market would act as an interdisciplinary note between the quality gastronomic experience and the horticultural activity of the Faculty of Biotechnology. Additionally, a public space would be formed, intended for students and employees of the faculties, as well as the residents and visitors of Ljubljana.
The city would acquire a new space with an exceptional potential of knowledge crossroads whilst contributing to the pulse of the city on the outskirts.
