Plečnik’s School in Ljubljana
Jože Plečnik at the faculty in Ljubljana, 1942 | Author Dokumentacija MGML / Plečnikova zbirka
Following a ten-year teaching stint in Prague, the architect Jože Plečnik permanently settled in Ljubljana in 1921, where he began his professorship at the newly-established Department of Architecture at the Faculty of Technical Sciences. He worked there almost until his death and his professorship work left a deep mark on generations of future architects.
The exhibition Plečnik’s School in Ljubljana, prepared by curator Ana Porok in collaboration with Katja Ogrin and Tomaž Jurca, will present the material that has been preserved at Plečnik’s office at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana from the architect’s death in 1957 until today. The documented and photographed material offers a unique and hitherto never researched insight in the work, methods, and curricula of Plečnik’s School.
