Ljubljana’s Sibirija is an area that, due to its location, represents great potential for the future development of Ljubljana’s suburbs. Many expansions of residential areas are planned here in the near future, but it is nevertheless a place with many shortcomings that are worth considering, as space is a limited resource that must be used responsibly.
The master's thesis explores 4 topics that directly address the problems identified in the area of consideration and proposes a comprehensive approach to the development and planning of a project solution as a response to the shortcomings of the selected project location. These are revitalization of a degraded area, living with water, public in private, infrastructure = architecture.
The thesis proposes the establishment of a new social complex that combines sports, recreational, cultural, leisure and educational activities in an area that is today recognized as functionally degraded. This would revitalize and diversify the area with a new public programme that would breathe new life into an area dominated by residential use. In addition, the selected location is currently being used for the construction of infrastructure facilities necessary for the settlement to function, which have been recklessly placed on site, without consideration for future development. The thesis proposes the incorporation of the infrastructure facilities into the design of the project itself, so that the space is cohesively designed as a whole. An important feature of the selected location is its position by the river, which, due to the high flood risk in the area, has been surrounded by high flood walls and completely cut off from the area and the people. The key part of this thesis represents the flood-resistant building design, which addresses issues such as how to coexist with water, how to bring it closer to people, and how to protect against it when flooding occurs.
