NAME

ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL CENTER

ARCHITECT BEVK PEROVIC ARHITEKTI

LOCATION SLOVENIA

YEAR 2020

BUILDING TYPE CULTURE CENTER

SITE

The Islamic religious and

cultural center of Ljubljana, the

capital and largest city of Slovenia,

designed by the Bevk Perović

arhitekti studio, is located in an

area close to the city center, yet

full of contrasts, in a fragile

undeveloped state.

The program consists of a

building for a religious school, a

building for a cultural and office

program, an apartment building for

community employees, a restaurant,

and a mosque, the first mosque to

be built in Slovenia. At night, the

light emanating from the building and

the vertical of the minaret becomes

an expression of a new center of

gravity in the middle of what was a

badly lit and poorly connected part

of the city in the past.
