BIO’s chosen theme serves as an international platform for new approaches to design that address current burning issues in local and global environments. It is a laboratory and test track where design is viewed as a tool for examining and readdressing everyday life through a multidisciplinary and humanistic lens that reaches through the systems, services, studies, and production apparatus that run our lives, as well as the unexpected conditions involved in effecting any solutions within our living environments. Guests in previous years include renowned names such as Jan Boelen, Angela Rui, Thomas Geisler, Alice Rawsthorn, Formafantasma, Mischer’Traxler, Studio Folder, Point Supreme, Didier Faustino, Odo Fioravanti, and plenty of other international and local creators.
Transforming into a sustainable cultural producer
As the environmental impact of hosting international cultural events becomes clear, BIO’s mission embeds sustainability as a guiding principle. BIO27 is taking active steps to reduce its environmental footprint across its activities and aims to demonstrate and communicate innovative approaches to sustainable cultural production.
BIO is organized by the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) in cooperation with the Centre for Creativity, at the Museum of Architecture and Design. The project ‘Centre for Creativity’ is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and European Union from the European Regional Development Fund within the European Cohesion Policy for the 2014–2020 period.
