Supported by the Kultura Nova Foundation
The fourth and final event of this year's Creative Hour: Spatial Practices programme focuses on innovation through materials and on exploring the relationships between architecture, biology and living systems, and will host Nafsika Efklidou. She will join us at Urania for the lecture Designing with the Living and the workshop Mapping Sentience, asking what happens when we stop thinking of materials and architecture as static and unchanging, and instead begin to understand them as hosts for life, growth and transformation.
The programme consists of a lecture and a workshop.

Architecture is space, photography is perspective. Whose story are we looking at?
A conversation between three architects and photographers with distinct authorial approaches and professional experiences, exploring how photography interprets, documents, and shapes our perception of architecture. Drawing on their own practices, they will examine the relationship between architect and photographer, the boundary between documentation and authorial interpretation, and the role of photography in representing architecture and shaping its public perception.

Family businesses are about more than just business. They are stories of values, relationships and legacy – but also of the courage to do things differently. Many companies founded in the early 1990s are now facing an important question: pass it on, sell it, or shape a new future together?

Urania - space of creation, is envisioned as a home for one’s creative expression, especially for the one who questions oneself, society, and the world.
As a space of creation, it considers all of the fields of art and the people who practice it whether they to accomplished or they still have to be so, the ones who are socially aware and the one’s developing audience awareness through education and the exchange of experience.
Urania is an area of open and constant exchange of information, knowledge, and ideas in the field of culture, art, architecture, design, and all creative practice.
With its program approach, there is a big emphasis on promoting excellence in all areas of human impact, accessibility, and demystification of art and culture, pushing the artificial boundaries which stand in-between experts and the public.
The core value of Urania is making a stronger community through integrating a whole variety of creative practice, a co-working of experts and the public, therefore creating a space for new values. Urania becomes a space for creation.
The space of creation is led by the association Urania, which was founded to achieve a high quality of life in society through direct and indirect effects created by solving various tasks in culture and all creative professions.
The Association promotes audiovisual, technical, and other areas of human creative activity. Urania promotes international cultural collaboration and dialog and with its values perpetuates the values and foundations of its founder, 3LHD is a collaborative architectural studio.
3LHD is an interdisciplinary architect studio interested in integrating various disciplines: architecture, urban and landscape, design, and art. Founded on the exchange of thought between diverse skill full professionals, experts in different fields. In such a collaboration, the aim is to produce the best quality product. In this way, the most appropriate concepts are being explored and new values introduced, values which are fused into the modernity of the 21’s Century. The result is a series of projects in Croatia and internationally in the past 30 years.
By converting the building of the former Urania cinema in Zagreb, where they located their offices, the founders and partners in 3LHD decided to go a step further - part of the space gets a public function with a clear emphasis on inclusion and activation at the micro-level of the neighborhood and on the macro-level of Croatian society through artistic and educational programs.
By interacting and connecting and encouraging education, communication, and innovation as fundamental principles in the process of creative creation, as well as encouraging interdisciplinary work and cooperation with related activities, the development of culture and artistic creation is achieved, connecting the community and activating social change.
