Imparo
Slotting into its industrial setting like a sleek ocean liner, the modern office building Imparo, while inexpensively constructed and technologically simple, brings and glamour and a sense of quality to an otherwise inauspicious commercial zone on the outskirts of Ljubljana.

College André Maurois
One of the driving forces in French school design and redesign has been the disastrous fire at the College Edouard Pailleron in 1973.Built to a mid century pattern common to many schools throughout the country, it was of lightweight steel construction with no fire protection. The fire spread rapidly through voids and 20 people died of whom 16 were children. There were more than 1,000 schools in the country built in a similar way, of which 57 used the exact same technique. These became known as Paillerons and were, quite rightly, slated for improvement or replacement.
