Twin houses Sinja Gorica – construction site update
The Sinja Gorica houses, designed as »dreams« of a young, urban family and located in vicinity of the city, but inspired by well-known imagery and patterns of suburbia, are under construction. The neighbourhood of the five twin houses has started taking shape.
The concrete works are almost finished at the upper two houses, and ongoing at two out of three houses on the lower side of the area. As the main contours of the neighbourhood can already be seen, we are excitedly waiting for the next steps.

Boštjan Vuga teaching Diploma 5 at the AA London School of Architecture in 2022
Boštjan is returning to AA London School of Architecture in the third consecutive year of teaching at AA and the second year teaching DIP5 together with Gabu Heindl. This year DIP5 will focus on publicness, porosity, and place as starting points for architectural projects that respond to urgent issues of public interest in order to generate site-specific impact.
The Diploma will explore how porosity relates to the politics of architecture, considering how we might create porous interventions and what spatial effects these might generate in relation to social and environmental questions. One of the main questions: ‘How can we draw boundaries that are inclusive rather than exclusive?’
