creativity where we relive the authors experience as our own, thus achieving personal enrichment, we the architects use
architectural expression and means to create conditions for specific emotional experiences, pertaining to the buildings or spatial
content, thus satisfying special and general cultural needs of the people. Architecture as an art form has its rationale, after all it
adds to the creation of high quality and purposeful spaces, higher creativity of the social environment and indirectly stimulates
higher social efficiency.
Because of the mentioned misunderstandings and protection of the title »architect«, as early as 1985 the European Council
issued a directive in which 11 conditions were stated that an individual, wishing to practice the profession should comply to. On
accession to the EU these conditions will apply to Slovenia as well. As stated in article 3 of the directive an architect should
have the following skills and knowledge:
uvod introduction
1. Capability and knowledge to produce architectural projects, fulfilling aesthetic and technical professional demands.
2. Adequate knowledge of architectural history and theory and theory of related arts, social sciences and technology.
3. Extensive knowledge about fine arts and their effect on architectural design.
4. Adequate knowledge in the fields of urban planning and design and necessary knowledge needed in the planning
process.
5. Understanding the relation between buildings and their environments and the relation of people to the built environment.
6. Understanding the profession and societal role of architects, especially in the preparation of idea proposals, that have to
abide to a wide array of social factors.
7. Knowledge of research methods and the project approach to create idea proposals.
8. Knowledge of construction plans, as well as construction and technical problems tied to the planning of buildings.

We have the pleasure to conclude that the programme of the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana is fully harmonised with the
stated conditions and that there are no obstacles for the recognition of our diploma or professional licensing within the framework
of the EU.
