Murgle v Ljubljani
Murgle so četrt v Ljubljani. Na severu mejijo na Cesto v Mestni log, na jugu pa na umetni melioracijski potok Mali graben. Mokrška ulica jih deli na Nove in Stare Murgle, v katerih so tipsko zgrajene pritlične hiše. Ta predel mesta je bil znan tudi kot rezidenca nekaterih slovenskih političnih veljakov. Zato jim je bil pridan sinonim za razkošnejši predel Ljubljane; prej je ta status nosila Rožna dolina. Gradnja murgelskih hišic se je začela v 70-ih letih 20. stoletja. Zasnova naselja Murgle je kot natečajni projekt leta 1965 nagrajen, projekti in gradnja pa so potekali med letoma 1965 in 1988.
Urbanistična struktura naselja se do skrajne možnosti prilagaja avtohtoni barjanski naravi, ki je postala na ta način njen bistveni in značilni sestavni del. Naravni drevoredi velikih dreves ob barjanskih jarkih so bili izhodišče za lokacijo današnjih cest, s čimer so Murgle že od prvega dne poselitve dobile patino starosti in vraščenosti v naravo, ki se z leti z dodatnim ozelenjevanjem še stopnjuje. Povezanost naselja z naravo izražajo tudi imena ulic, ki so privzeta le po drevesnih vrstah, ki so ob njih zasajene: Pod topoli, Pod hrasti, Pod vrbami, Pod jelšami itd.
Cestni sistem je omejen na minimum s tem, da je celotno naselje organizirano v stanovanjske kareje (po okrog 35 hiš) z obodno cesto na treh straneh; do posameznih hiš pa od ceste vodijo le stanovanjske poti. Takšna prometna ureditev je zahtevala ločitev garaž od hiš in njihovo združitev v garažnih nizih ob obodnih cestah, pri čemer razdalja med hišo in garažo nikoli ne preseže 50 m. Takšen prometni sistem, ki se je v 40-letni življenjski dobi naselja povsem potrdil, notranjost karejev osvobaja cestnega hrupa in prahu in ustvarja bolj humane stanovanjske pogoje.
Osnovni arhitekturni element oblikovanja kareja je tipizirana pritlična vrstna oz. atrijska hiša. Naselje se je gradilo v treh različnih obdobjih - fazah, od katerih je vsaka imela svoja lastna tehnična, tehnološka, normativna, energetska, in celo socialno politična izhodišča. Oblikovno enotnost naselja, ki nastaja že več kot 40 let, je bilo mogoče zagotoviti le s spoštovanjem nekaterih že na začetku določenih enotnih elementov oblikovanja hiš oz. hišnih skupin ne glede na čas njihove realizacije.
Arhitektura oblikovanja posameznih hiš je zavestno enostavna. Glavna skrb je veljala oblikovanju takšnega stanovanjskega tlorisa, ki bo v celoti in detajlih maksimalno funkcionalen in kjer se drage stanovanjske površine ne bodo neracionalno izgubljale zaradi nepremišljenih in za optimalno stanovanjsko opremo slabo uporabnih prostorov. Posebno skrbno je bila premišljena vizualna in funkcionalna zveza med notranjimi stanovanjskimi in zunanjimi vrtnimi prostori, saj lahko le tako pridejo do polne veljave bistvene prednosti pritlične stanovanjske hiše.
Naselje Murgle, ki je s svojimi 720 novimi hišami in starejšim zaselkom ob Mokrški ulici danes samostojna krajevna skupnost, kljub svoji dolgoletni graditvi še ni dokončano. Manjka mu še 72 hiš na južnem robu naselja ob vodotoku Mali graben in del centra naselja (trgovine, servisi, gostinstvo, družbeni prostori, šola) na severnem robu naselja ob Cesti v mestni log.

Murgle in Ljubljana
Murgle is a district in Ljubljana. To the north, they border the Road to the Town Log, and to the south to the artificial melioration stream Mali graben. Mokrška Street divides them into New and Old Murgla, in which single-storey houses are built in a typical way. This part of the city was also known as the residence of some Slovenian political dignitaries. Hence the synonym for the more luxurious part of Ljubljana has been added to them; previously, this status was carried by the Rose Valley. The construction of Murgela houses began in the 70s of the 20th century. The design of the Murgle settlement was awarded as a competition project in 1965, and the designs and construction took place between 1965 and 1988.
The urban structure of the settlement is adapted to the autochthonous nature of the marshes, which has thus become its essential and characteristic component. The natural avenues of large trees along the marsh ditches were the starting point for the location of today's roads, which gave Murgla a patina of age and ingrown nature from the first day of settlement, which has been intensified over the years with additional greening. The connection of the settlement with nature is also expressed by the names of the streets, which are taken by default only after the tree rows planted next to them: Pod topoli, Pod hrast, Pod vrbami, Pod alšami, etc.
The road system is kept to a minimum by organizing the entire settlement into residential clusters (about 35 houses each) with a perimeter road on three sides; However, only residential paths lead to individual houses from the road. Such a traffic arrangement required the separation of garages from the houses and their union in garage arrays along the perimeter roads, with the distance between the house and the garage never exceeding 50 m. Such a transport system, which has been fully confirmed in the 40-year life of the settlement, frees the interior of the karyas from road noise and dust and creates more humane housing conditions.
The basic architectural element of the design of the karejo is a standardized ground floor terraced or atrium house. The settlement was built in three different periods - phases, each of which had its own technical, technological, normative, energy, and even socio-political starting points. The design unity of the settlement, which has been in the making for more than 40 years, could only be ensured by respecting some of the uniform elements of the design of houses or house groups determined at the beginning, regardless of the time of their realization.
The architecture of the design of individual houses is consciously simple. The main concern was the design of such a residential floor plan, which will be maximally functional in its entirety and in details, and where expensive residential areas will not be irrationally lost due to ill-considered and poorly usable spaces for optimal housing equipment. The visual and functional relationship between the interior residential and outdoor garden spaces has been particularly carefully thought out, as this is the only way to fully validate the essential advantages of a single-storey residential house.
The settlement of Murgle, which with its 720 new houses and an older hamlet along Mokrška Street is today an independent local community, has not yet been completed, despite its many years of construction. It is still missing 72 houses on the southern edge of the settlement along the Mali graben watercourse and a part of the settlement center (shops, services, catering, social spaces, school) on the northern edge of the settlement along the road to the city log.
