WORLD HABITAT DAYS 2026
Ustrezno bivanje za vse
1. oktober – 31. oktober 2026
V mesecu oktobru se bo Fakulteta za dizajn ponovno pridružila mednarodni pobudi Urban October, ki vsako leto odpira prostor za razmislek o mestih, bivanjskem okolju, skupnostih, javnem prostoru, trajnostnem razvoju in vlogi oblikovanja pri soustvarjanju boljše prihodnosti.
Na Fakulteti za dizajn Urban October razumemo kot mesec povezovanja, raziskovanja, ustvarjanja in dialoga. V tem času se bodo zvrstila predavanja, delavnice, oblikovalski pogovori, razstave, konference, vodeni ogledi in srečanja, ki se bodo v različnih oblikah navezovala na študente vseh naših smeri — od notranje opreme, vizualnih komunikacij, mode in tekstilij do dizajn managementa ter širših področij oblikovanja, trajnostnega razvoja in kulture bivanja.
Letošnja osrednja tema Adequate Housing for All / Ustrezno bivanje za vse nas vabi k razmisleku o enem najpomembnejših vprašanj sodobnega časa: kako ustvarjati bivalna okolja, ki so dostopna, vključujoča, trajnostna, dostojanstvena in zares oblikovana po meri ljudi. Tema se dotika arhitekture, notranjega oblikovanja, urbanizma, vizualne komunikacije, materialne kulture, trajnostnega razvoja, gospodarstva, skupnosti in odgovornega oblikovalskega delovanja.
V okviru Urban Octobra bomo obeležili tudi Svetovni dan habitata, ki je namenjen razmisleku o prihodnosti mest in temeljni pravici do ustreznega bivanja. Na Fakulteti za dizajn bomo to pomembno mednarodno temo povezali z oblikovalskim izobraževanjem, raziskovanjem materialov, trajnostnimi pristopi, interdisciplinarnim sodelovanjem in vprašanjem, kako lahko oblikovanje prispeva k bolj kakovostnim, človeškim in vključujočim bivalnim okoljem.
Dogodki bodo potekali tako na Fakulteti za dizajn kot tudi na drugih kreativnih ljubljanskih lokacijah, med drugim v Centru Rog, na HDMI – House of Design Management and Innovations, v Galeriji Društva likovnih umetnikov Ljubljana ter na Gospodarskem razstavišču.
V oktobru bomo gostili mednarodne profesorje iz partnerskih institucij ter domače strokovnjake iz gospodarstva, arhitekture, oblikovanja, razvojnih institucij in kreativnih področij. Z nami bodo delili znanje, izkušnje, vpoglede iz prakse in nove poglede na vlogo oblikovanja v sodobni družbi.

Urban October 2026:
Mesec oblikovanja na Fakulteti za dizajn
Študentom toplo priporočamo, da se dogodkov udeležite, kadar koli vam to dopušča urnik. Dogodki, ki bodo del vaših predavanj oziroma pedagoškega procesa, bodo navedeni tudi v digitalnih urnikih. Če v določenem terminu nimate predavanj, pa ste prav tako lepo vabljeni, da se pridružite drugim dogodkom. Dovolj je odprta glava, radovednost in pripravljenost, da spoznate nekaj novega — za vsakega se lahko najde kakšna dobra ideja, nova izkušnja ali navdih.
Lepo vabljeni tudi vsi drugi obiskovalci, partnerji, predstavniki gospodarstva, institucij in širše javnosti, ki bi se želeli udeležiti posameznih dogodkov. Prosimo vas, da nam svojo udeležbo predhodno sporočite na info@fd.si, saj nam to zelo pomaga pri organizaciji in obveščanju gostujočih predavateljev.
PREGLED PROGRAMA
Četrtek, 1. oktober
Urban October 2026 bomo začeli z otvoritvijo Meseca oblikovanja in predstavitvijo projekta OFFICE3000, ki raziskuje inovativne pohištvene sisteme iz slovenskega hrasta in granita.
Prvi dan bo posvečen trajnostnemu oblikovanju, lokalnim materialom, modularnim sistemom, delovnim okoljem prihodnosti, nestrupenim pristopom ter biofilnim in z naravo navdihnjenim intervencijam za trajnostni urbani razvoj.
Otvoritveni dan bo tako povezal oblikovanje, arhitekturo, materiale, trajnost in razmislek o tem, kako lahko prostor bolje odgovarja na potrebe človeka.
Petek, 2. oktober
V petek se bo nadaljevala delavnica OFFICE3000, kjer bodo študenti delali v mednarodnih in interdisciplinarnih skupinah pod mentorstvom strokovnjakov iz industrije, razvojnih institucij in Fakultete za dizajn.
Poudarek bo na razvoju konceptov, sodelovanju, raziskovanju materialov in oblikovalskem razmišljanju — od ideje do prve zasnove.
Ponedeljek, 5. oktober – Svetovni dan habitata
Ponedeljek bo eden osrednjih dni letošnjega Urban Octobra, saj bomo obeležili Svetovni dan habitata pod temo Adequate Housing for All / Ustrezno bivanje za vse.
Dan se bo začel z nadaljevanjem delavnice OFFICE3000, sledila pa bo otvoritvena slovesnost Svetovnega dne habitata. Program bo vključeval nagovore, predstavitve in razprave o podnebnih zavezah, kulturi bivanja z lesom, intelektualni lastnini, lesni industriji, trajnostnih darilih iz lesnih ostankov, zadružnem bivanju za mlade, minimalizmu, majhnih hišah in širši kulturi bivanja.
Konferenca Celebration of World Habitat Day bo povezala domače in tuje goste iz Slovenije, Avstrije, Španije, Srbije in Severne Makedonije. Obravnavane bodo teme, kot so vloga lesa pri reševanju stanovanjske krize, vpliv turizma na stanovanjsko problematiko, oblikovanje in skupnost, materiali s spominom ter uporaba zemlje, lesa in ponovno uporabljenih materialov pri ustvarjanju bolj pravičnih bivalnih rešitev.
Dan bo vključeval tudi oblikovalski pogovor o vlogi lesa pri reševanju stanovanjske krize in oblikovanju trajnostne kulture bivanja, ter večerni program o povezovanju oblikovanja in gospodarstva.
Torek, 6. oktober
Torek bo prinesel pester nabor delavnic, predavanj in oblikovalskih pogovorov.
Delavnica From Idea to Prototype: Suitable Housing for All bo osnovnošolcem in srednješolcem približala načrtovanje in izdelavo manjših lesenih zavetij. Udeleženci bodo skozi praktično delo spoznavali osnovna načela konstrukcije, obdelave lesa, funkcionalnosti, stabilnosti in zaščite pred vremenskimi vplivi.
Sočasno se bodo nadaljevale raziskave in koncepti v okviru projekta OFFICE3000, program pa bo odpiral tudi teme, kot so:
EU at Crossroads: Urban Design for Green Oases of Tranquility and a Culture of Living for All
Design and Community
The Impact of Tourism on the Housing Crisis
Roots
Adequate Housing for All: Bridging Urbanism and Interior Architecture
Housing Beyond Shelter: The Regenerative Potential of Living Spaces
Dan bo povezoval urbanizem, notranjo arhitekturo, krajino, skupnost, turizem, stanovanjsko krizo, vizualno kulturo in regenerativni potencial bivalnih prostorov.
Sreda, 7. oktober
V sredo se bo del programa preselil v Center Rog, kjer bodo potekali oblikovalski pogovor Dressing Facades, predstavitve projektov za KOCLES, predstavitev Rogovih laboratorijev in razprava o tržnih priložnostih slovenskih lesenih izdelkov.
Program bo vključeval tudi vodeni ogled Rogovih laboratorijev in predavanje Sustainable Management in Practice: Between Strategy and Communication, kjer bosta gostovali prof. dr. Maja Zalaznik in Ladeja Godina Košir.
Na Fakulteti za dizajn se bodo nadaljevale delavnice na temo Adequate Housing for All: Bridging Urbanism and Interior Architecture ter Graphic Design for Sustainable and Inclusive Futures, kjer bodo študenti raziskovali, kako lahko vizualne komunikacije prispevajo k trajnostnim in vključujočim urbanim prihodnostim.
Večerni del bo namenjen oblikovalskemu pogovoru in delavnici The Important Role of Design Management & the Design Manager in Design-Driven Organisations, ki jo bosta vodila Steinar Valade-Amland in doc. mag. Mateja Š. Dimic. Dogodek bo še posebej zanimiv za vse, ki jih zanima povezovanje oblikovanja, strategije, organizacij, vodenja in gospodarstva.
7.–10. oktober: Ljubljana Fashion Week
Eden najbolj vznemirljivih dogodkov letošnjega Urban Octobra bo tudi LJFW – Ljubljana Fashion Week, ki bo potekal na Gospodarskem razstavišču v Ljubljani.
Na dogodku se bodo predstavili študentke in študenti modnega oblikovanja Fakultete za dizajn — nekateri s svojimi prvimi kreacijami, drugi že z diplomskimi kolekcijami. To je izjemna priložnost, da podpremo mlade slovenske modne oblikovalce, spoznamo nove ustvarjalce, začutimo utrip slovenske modne scene in podpremo vse, ki stojijo tako pred kot za kulisami tega pomembnega dogodka.
Študente, kolege, mentorje, prijatelje in vse ljubitelje mode lepo vabimo, da se dogodka udeležite ter s svojo prisotnostjo podprete mlade oblikovalce in širšo ustvarjalno skupnost.
Četrtek, 8. oktober
Četrtek bo ponovno namenjen delavnicam v okviru projekta OFFICE3000, kjer bodo udeleženci raziskovali, kako lahko lokalni materiali — zlasti les — oblikujejo globalna delovna okolja, kako lahko modularni sistemi redefinirajo fleksibilnost ter kako lahko mladi oblikovalci prispevajo sveže in drzne pristope od ideje do realizacije.
Dopoldne bo potekal tudi vodeni ogled Following Jože Plečnik’s Footsteps & Plečnik House Visit, ki bo tujim udeležencem ponudil vpogled v delo enega najpomembnejših slovenskih arhitektov.
Popoldne in zvečer bo Lynne Elvins izvedla predavanje Design in a Changing World, prof. dr. Dušanka Komnenić pa bo nadaljevala delavnico Designing Adequate Housing for All: Graphic Design for Sustainable and Inclusive Futures.
Petek, 9. oktober
Prvi intenzivni teden Urban Octobra se bo zaključil s predstavitvijo rezultatov projekta OFFICE3000.
Zaključni dogodek bo vključeval odprtje razstave OFFICE3000 Conceptual Projects in predstavitve projektnih skupin. Študenti bodo imeli priložnost predstaviti svoje delo, razmisliti o procesu in deliti rezultate interdisciplinarnega sodelovanja.
15. oktober – 5. november: Young Design Talents Summer School
V drugi polovici oktobra se bo začela tudi Young Design Talents Summer School: Designer in the Real World – Practice, Strategy, and Identity. Čeprav bo potekala jeseni, jo z veseljem umeščamo v naš ustvarjalni mesec — ker oblikovanje, ideje in radovednost tako ali tako ne poznajo letnih časov.
Program je namenjen študentom 3. letnika strokovnega visokošolskega študijskega programa Dizajn, in sicer študentom smeri Notranja oprema, Vizualne komunikacije, Moda in tekstilije ter Dizajn management.
Poletna šola bo usmerjena v prakso, strategijo, identiteto in realnost oblikovalskega poklica. Gostujoči predavatelji bodo študentom ponudili dodatne vpoglede v svet izven predavalnic — od ustvarjalnega procesa do profesionalnega nastopa in razumevanja lastne oblikovalske poti.
20. oktober – 1. november: Študentska razstava
V Galeriji Društva likovnih umetnikov Ljubljana na Bregu 22 bo na ogled študentska razstava Creative Intertwinings 2025/2026.
Na razstavi bodo predstavljena dela študentov smeri Notranja oprema, Vizualne komunikacije, Moda in tekstilije ter Dizajn management. Razstava bo ponudila vpogled v ustvarjalne procese, vizualno mišljenje in oblikovalske pristope, ki nastajajo na Fakulteti za dizajn.
Lepo vabljeni študenti, mentorji, partnerji, bodoči študenti in vsi ljubitelji oblikovanja.
21. september – 31. oktober:
Oblikovalske pravice, patenti in Svetovni dan mest
V širši program Urban Octobra je vključena tudi retrospektivna razstava projektov notranjega oblikovanja in prostorske arhitekture s podeljenimi patenti in/ali modeli EU.
Konferenca The Strategic Value of Design Rights: Turning Protective Design into Competitiveness and Growth bo obravnavala pomen oblikovalskih pravic, intelektualne lastnine in strateške vrednosti zaščitenega oblikovanja. Dogodek organizirajo Urad Evropske unije za intelektualno lastnino, Bureau of European Design Associations in Fakulteta za dizajn.
Ob koncu meseca, 31. oktobra, bomo obeležili tudi Svetovni dan mest, ki ga je ustanovila Organizacija združenih narodov z namenom spodbujanja globalnega sodelovanja pri reševanju izzivov hitre urbanizacije in razvoju trajnostnih mest.
Vabilo študentom in širši skupnosti
Urban October je priložnost, da za trenutek stopimo iz običajnega ritma študijskega leta in vstopimo v širši oblikovalski pogovor. Je mesec poslušanja, vprašanj, raziskovanja, preizkušanja idej, srečevanj, razstav, delavnic in navdiha.
Za naše študente — še posebej za bruce, ki se nam bodo pridružili s 1. oktobrom — je to lepa priložnost, da Fakulteto za dizajn spoznajo kot živo ustvarjalno skupnost. Ni treba, da vse razumete vnaprej. Pridite radovedni, odprti in pripravljeni na nova znanja. Včasih je dovolj eno predavanje, ena delavnica, en pogovor ali en projekt, da se odpre popolnoma nova ideja.
Veselimo se meseca oblikovanja, novih srečanj, odprtih pogovorov in ustvarjalne energije, ki jo bomo skupaj gradili skozi oktober.
