----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2020, the year when first NONUMENT! Book is to be published, many recently still lively public spaces and city centers have been transformed into nonuments. In the past, Nonument was devoted to decaying, destroyed and abandoned monuments, buildings and public spaces of the twentieth century. At the third NONUMENT! Symposium, we will combine these thoughts with new thinking about the possible strategies of thought and intervention in a continually transforming contemporary city. Through the cases of transforming buildings, squares and cities, guests from Ljubljana and abroad will think about the open use of space as the condition of survival.
Ob izidu prve knjige NONUMENT! so se zaradi pandemije stavbe, še nedavno živahni javni prostori in cela mesta spremenili v nonumente. Premisleke o zapuščenih in uničenih spomenikih, zgradbah in javnih prostorih dvajsetega stoletja, o katerih smo premišljevali v preteklih letih, bo tretji mednarodni simpozij NONUMENT! nadgradil v možne strategije delovanja v nenehno spreminjajočem se sodobnem mestu. Tuji in domači gostje bodo skozi primere arhitektur, trgov in mest premišljevali o odprti uporabi prostora kot o pogoju preživetja.
