Reševanje Križank : idejna zasnova prenove Križank v Ljubljani

Gavrilović, Darko (author), Planišček, Anja (mentor), Petrovčič, Simon (comentor)

Nekdanji samostanski kompleks Križanke je danes ena od najbolj atraktivnih lokacij v Ljubljani. Vzbujajo občutek, ki ga po navadi zasledimo v fantazijskih zgodbah. Zato so Križanke prostor s posebno noto in idealno okolje za dijake Srednje šole za oblikovanje in fotografijo. Čarobno vzdušje ustvarjajo tudi koncerti Festivala Ljubljana, ki pa ga trenutno kazi nova streha. O vsem tem je leta 1950 ob prenovi kompleksa premišljeval tudi arhitekt Jože Plečnik. Vase zaprti samostan je odprl javnosti s posegi, ki spoštujejo in plemenitijo zgodovino. S to prenovo so dobile Križanke dodatno spomeniško vrednost, ne le kot spomin na Nemški viteški red, ampak tudi kot zadnji večji Plečnikov projekt. Plečnik je ohranil živahnost kompleksa z vpeljavo dveh novih programov – srednja šola in festival. 70 let kasneje so se Križanke znašle v stanju propadanja zaradi deljenega lastništva in trenja med političnimi interesi. Razvoj obeh dejavnosti je povzročil pomanjkanje prostora, ki pa danes služi kot povod za prisilno izselitev šole. Ta naloga je prvi korak v postopku reševanja Križank. Teoretični del obsega kronološki pregled razvoja Križank, obravnava problematike obstoječih programov ter predlaga potencialne rešitve. Projektna naloga vztraja s Plečnikovim konceptom sobivanja programov ob različnih časih. Z uvedbo programskih sprememb in dodajanjem novih. Reorganizacija prostorov javnosti omogoči dostopnost prej nedostopnih prostorov, vzpostavi jasne komunikacije in omogoča lažje delovanje programov. Strategija prenove je predstavljena s katalogom posegov v obstoječe tkivo, dodanim novim zakulisnim prizidkom, ter nove zložljive festivalske strehe.

• Title: Saving Križanke : conceptual design of the renovation of the Križanke in Ljubljana

Abstract

The former monastery complex Križanke is today one of the most attractive locations in Ljubljana. It evokes a feeling that we usually find in fantasy stories. That is why Križanke are a place with a special aura and an ideal environment for students of design and photography. A magical atmosphere is also created by the Ljubljana Festival concerts, which are currently held under an unattractive new roof. The architect Jože Plečnik was thinking about this in 1950 when he renovated the complex. He opened the previously closed monastery space to the public with interventions that respected and enriched history. With this renovation, the Križanke gained additional monumental value as a memory of the Teutonic Order and as Plečnik's last major project. Plečnik maintained the vitality of the complex by introducing two new programs - high school and concert venue. 70 years later, Križanke found themselves in a state of decay due to shared ownership and friction between political interests. The development of both programs resulted in a lack of space, which today serves as a reason for the school's forced eviction. This project is the first step in the process of saving Križanke. The theoretical part includes a historical review of the development of Križanke, discusses the problems of existing programs, and proposes potential solutions. The project task persists with Plečnik's concept of the coexistence of programs at different times, by introducing program changes and adding new ones. The reorganization of the premises makes previously inaccessible museum premises accessible to the public, establishes clear communications, and facilitates the operation of programs. The renovation strategy is presented with a catalog of interventions in the existing structure, the addition of a new backstage extension, and a new folding festival roof.
