Razstava "Oris ideja" je rezultat želja tistih, ki ustvarjajo revijo Oris, da na enem mestu združijo in prikažejo skice in likovno zanimive risbe avtorjev, ki so s svojimi deli že bili objavljeni v eni od številk revije. Razlog za nastanek te želje je peta obletnica izhajanja Orisa. Vključena so tudi dela tistih, ki so na nek način dali svoj prispevek k nastajanju revije in sodelovali v njenem življenju, njihova dela pa v reviji niso bila objavljena.

Del koncepta urejanja revije je čim kompleksnejši prikaz projektov. Del tega so tudi skice in faze nastajanja projekta. Verjamemo, da je to pomemben del v arhitekturnem ustvarjalnem procesu. Razstavljanje vseh teh skic javnosti na enem mestu, naj bi pripomoglo k pregledu celotne kompleksnosti, različnosti, slojevitosti, pa tudi lepote najbolj kreativnega obdobja dela na projektu.

Skico smo definirali kot risbo, ki v glavnem nastaja v začetnih fazah dela na projektu in je kasneje namenjena za njegovo ad hoc ilustracijo. Verjamemo, da takšne ilustracije likovno odražajo maksimalen kreativni naboj, ki nastaja pri delu na projektu.V tej situaciji se najbolj izkaže likovni potencial avtorjeve roke in njegova ustvarjalna žilica.

Skica je ob sami vsebini projekta najočitnejše umetniško izražanje arhitekta. Za prikaz svoje ideje arhitekt uporablja medij slikarstva (razne tehnike risanja, kolaža, akvarela, vse do računalniškega renderinga). On to imenuje skica. Skice so prvi prikaz arhitektove ideje. Tako služijo ideji in ne nastanejo z namero postati samostojna slika. Tako kot v gradbeništvu služi oder, skice nimajo potrebe biti zasebno umetniško delo.

Možno je, da je to ena zadnjih razstav, ki še vedno in to z večjim delom živi s svojim časom, preko skice pa orisuje arhitektovo idejo. Prihodnje takšne razstave bodo v glavnem retrospektive in prikaz preteklosti.
Razstavo "Oris ideja" posvečamo vsem idejam, ki niso nikoli doživele svoje realizacije, ampak so kot zamrznjena slika ostale v iskanju za svojo dimenzijo.

The exhibition "Outline of Ideas" springs from the wish of those who created the journal Oris to put together and show in a single place the sketches and visually interesting drawings of artists whose works have been published in one or other of the issues of Oris. The occasion for the wish was the marking of five years of the publication of Oris. There are also the works of those who in some way or other contributed to its origin and taken part in its life, without their work having been published in the journal.

Part of the concept behind the editing of the journal is the endeavour to show a project as complexly as possible. And a part of this is the sketches from the phase of creating the project. We think that this is an important part in the architectural creative process. Exhibiting all these sketches to the public in a single place should give some idea of all the complexity, diversity, multifacetedness and beauty of the most creative period of work on a project.

We have defined a sketch as a drawing that comes into being mainly in the initial phases of the work on a project, or that later serves for its ad hoc illustration. Just such illustrations, we believe, visually reflect the maximum creative charge created during work on a project. In this situation the visual potential of the author's hand and creative flair is best seen. A sketch, with the actual substance of a project, is the most manifest expression of the architect.

In order to present his idea an architect uses the media of the painting (various techniques ranging from drawings, collages, water colours up to computer renderings). He calls them sketches. Sketches represent the first outline of an architect s idea. They serve the idea and do not aspire after becoming a painting in themselves. The same way the scaffolding serves the builder, so the sketches do not have the need to become a separate work of art.

Perhaps this is one of the last exhibitions that still, in the major part, lives with its own time, and via sketches outlines the idea of the architect. Future such exhibitions will be mainly retrospectives and displays of the past.
We dedicate this "Outline of Ideas" to all those ideas that have never been realised but have remained a frozen image in search for all its dimensions.
