The duality of nature and town, symbolically represented by the Ljubljana Marshes and the Ljubljanica, should be treated as an indivisible whole, where water plays the lead role. It can’t be ignored, neither as a natural phenomenon with extreme droughts and floods nor, and even less so, as a source of life – drinking water.
With this awareness, experience and knowledge, are we ready to establish a new way of co-existence, one in which man works with and for nature? The life we are living is anything but close to nature; it has given in to economy, and politics only benefits from this. It is anything but easy for the water management profession to fight this vicious circle on its own. It will take a great deal of effort, cooperation and support of both professional and civil society initiatives.
Is there anything that can still be done? Are people able to take a step back and give the floor to nature again? The architects participating in the European platform Future Architecture have offered several proposals as a response to the issues opened up by this exhibition.
