CONCEPT [CC]

[CC] Centre ~ City is a project which reflects the tension and relations between a city centre (»centre«) and shopping suburbs (»BTC city«) in Slovenian capital Ljubljana by examining variety of programs, accessibility, isolation and limitations… City centre is changing into a fractal conglomerate of small capsules with an increasing number of differentiated types of limiting access to semi-public and public spaces. On the other hand, the shopping area BTC (»city«) is developing new types of urbanity conceived exclusively with a purpose to motivate visitors for immediate consumption.

[CC] Centre ~ City highlights the potential trends of closing and restricting access to public spaces. In some wider sense it re-opens the discussion on what kind of urbanity, what kind of quality of life the city of Ljubljana is offering to its inhabitants.
