The village of Ig, which is ten minutes’ drive from Ljubljana over the green plain of Ljubljana’s Barje, represents a typical Slovene rural environment. In the past a romantic village with church in the centre and characteristic houses perpendicular to the village road, it has become a conglomerate of various buildings and additional constructions with no clearly expressed centre and public space as a result of development in the second half of the twentieth century. The unregulated settlement showed little signs of contemporariness, and only one decisive move was needed to initiate revitalization.
