“A tower, a mule, me and the garden” – that is how Jože Plečnik imagined his life when he didn’t know yet that after Vienna and Prague his native Ljubljana would be his lifetime’s environment for his creative work.
Every year, The Architect Jože Plečnik Foundation announces the Plečnik Awards, the main public recognition of Slovenian authors for their outstanding creations in the fields of architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture or interior design. This year's prize and award winners are presented in an exhibition at the Plečnik House.
Saša Dev, Plečnik's student and an architect of the interwar Maribor, was one of the co-creators of modernist architecture in Slovenia. His architectural works remain relevant today, as he would do more than just follow contemporary trends as a young architect but rather surpass them by several decades in the context of the relationship towards urban fabric.
