Ljubljana, Slovenia

Pitched roofs are a response to climate, but the greater the pitch, the less useful the interior space. Hence, dormer windows evolved to expand headroom, provide ventilation, and let in light. So many elements of medieval architecture have been superseded by modernity, but not the dormers. They're not just medieval, they're modern suburban. [2008]
