Museum of Architecture and Design
Museum of Architecture and Design (SI) is one of the oldest museums for architecture and design in Europe. MAO collects, stores, studies and presents material from these creative areas at temporary and permanent exhibitions, opening itself as a space for everyone who wishes to research, study, and learn more about how we inhabit our living space, how we organize it, change it, design it, mark it, and make it our own. MAO is also the organiser of the oldest Biennial of Design (BIO), the oldest European design biennial, as well as the founder and coordinating entity of Future Architecture Platform.
As part of the Distributed Design Platform, MAO and Center for Creativity offer support to local producers and makers, encourage collaborations and promote their practices in an international community of creatives working in similar, interdisciplinary fields. Our past and future activities in the DDP scheme focus on facilitating opportunities that deal with questions of locality, community and heritage on the one hand, as well as disseminating these ideas in an international context on the other.
