Dean Lah

Dean Lah is an architect, educator and co founder of ENOTA, the Ljubljana based architectural practice he established in 1998. Over more than two decades, he has helped shape ENOTA into an internationally recognised studio, with work spanning architecture, urbanism, hospitality, public space and complex mixed use developments across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Dean's approach is rooted in a strong belief that architecture should respond intelligently to its specific context while creating lasting social, spatial and environmental value. His work with ENOTA has received numerous national and international distinctions and has been widely exhibited and published around the world. Beyond practice, Dean has a longstanding involvement in architectural education and professional discourse. He has taught at the University of Maribor since 2016, regularly lectures and participates as a guest critic, and has served on numerous architectural competition and award juries. His experience across practice, academia and professional organisations brings a broad and critical perspective to the evaluation of contemporary architecture.
