A Splash of Innovation in the City's Core
In the bustling heart of Ljubljana, a captivating water sculpture has emerged, nine years after winning a public design competition. This architectural marvel, titled Water Sculpture LJ, is a testament to the power of spatial and symbolic contributions to a city's public realm. It introduces a unique micro-ambient within the dense urban fabric, offering a serene oasis amidst the city's hustle and bustle.
A Small Urban 'Platform'
The sculpture, designed by Primož Boršič and Vimos M.Arch, is a small urban 'platform' with a continuous, rounded form that creates a separate, almost intimate space. It's a refreshing contrast to the surrounding urban landscape, providing a moment of tranquility for both locals and visitors.
A Public Design Competition Winner
