Reading the book through the lenses of history, aesthetics and art history reveals the master’s spiritual dimensions, his housing and design preferences as well as his attitude to his own Slovenian nation, which Plečnik wanted to elevate and help it create its own national architectural language. In his attempts to do so, Plečnik faced the Classical and the Modern, Central European and Mediterranean, which he then combined in an organic post-modern stimmung.
The publication of the book in Plečnik Year 2017 was supported by: Mestna občina Ljubljana, Ministrstvo za kulturo, Vodovod-Kanalizacija, Javno podjetje Ljubljanska parkirišča in tržnice, d.o.o. and Zavarovalnica Triglav.
