Cultural Heritage Studies

The DECORATOR partnership, with the University of Nova Gorica leading the Pilot 5, is pleased to announce a call for Artistic Residencies. These are to take place between October 2025 and January 2026 in various locations across the Danube Region, with a focus on Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, and Germany.

On the Borders of the Planet

University of Nova Gorica and GO!2025-European Capital of Culture are participating at Biennale Sessions at Venice Biennale Arte 2022. The event entitled Marvellous reflects upon the “impossible ecologies” that challenge the logic of main-stream green agendas with radical imagination which is so often embedded in the marvellous “feeling for nature”, acting as necessary force to drive ‘GO!2025” green strategy.

Designing with nature for beautiful sustainable and inclusive space

On the occasion of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, the Biennale Architettura 2021, various aspects of the URBiNAT project were presented by partners of the project during a special workshop hosted by the University of Nova Gorica partner of the URBiNAT-HORIZON 2020 project.

URBiNAT focuses on the regeneration and integration of underserved city districts.

Cultural heritage is considered a resource for local sustainable development, although there are some contradictions. The sites recognized as cultural heritage are increasing; the costs for functional maintenance/reuse are growing, while public resources available are becoming scarcer, and private actors are increasingly focused on the short time for payback.
