Regeneneration / Regeneracija.

Most of us imagine forest as an oasis of peace and relaxation. A sound of rustling leaves, birds singing, pleasant forest scents relax and calm us. The question is whether a carefully designed piece of nature in the form of wood can create a feeling of homeliness and connection with nature ? (Prof dr Jasna Hrovatin - from the official contest introduction Relaxation in harmony with nature) / Većina zamišlja šumu kao oazu mira i opuštanja. Šuštanje lišća, pevanje ptica i opojni miris šume opušta i smiruje. Pitanje je, ako pažljivo dizajniran komad prirode u formi drveta stvara osećaj bliskosti i povezanosti sa prirodom? "(Prof dr Jasna Hrovatin- iz pratećeg teksta konkursa Opuštanje u harmoniji sa prirodom).
