Adequate Housing for All
1 – 31 October 2026
This October, the Faculty of Design will once again open its doors to Urban October, an international month dedicated to design, cities, communities, public space, housing, sustainability and the many questions that shape the way we live together.
At the Faculty of Design, Urban October is much more than a programme of events. It is a space for learning, meeting, questioning, creating and connecting. Throughout the month, our students will have the opportunity to take part in lectures, workshops, design talks, exhibitions, conferences and guided visits that connect different fields of design — from interior design, visual communications and fashion, to textiles, design management, sustainable development and the wider culture of living.
During October, we will also mark World Habitat Day, an important international observance dedicated to the future of cities and the fundamental right to adequate shelter. At the Faculty of Design, World Habitat Day will be celebrated through lectures, discussions, exhibitions and creative exchange, placing the global theme of housing into dialogue with design education, local knowledge, sustainable materials and interdisciplinary thinking.
The programme will take place at the Faculty of Design and at other creative locations across Ljubljana, including Center Rog, HDMI – House of Design Management and Innovations, Ljubljana Fine Artists Society Gallery and GR Ljubljana.
We will host international professors from our partner institutions, as well as Slovenian experts from design, architecture, business, development institutions and industry. They will share their knowledge, experience and professional insights — and help us open new conversations about the role of design in today’s world.
