	Uniqueness in the heart of Europe - Joze Plecnik - the Architect
		Plecnik was born in Ljubljana, the son of a Slovenian cabinet-maker, and was to follow in his father's trade and never thought of becoming an architect.
		As architect Plecnik was a visionary and a reformer.
		Plecnik's Ljubljana was an outstanding example of the modern urban vision and creative ethics - a city that preserved in its older structure important stylistic predecessors - the ancient Roman Emona, the Mediaeval town, the Baroque town, the 19th century town.

	Joze Plecnik
		In the eighties the work of the architect Joze Plecnik (Jo"ze Ple"cnik, see character set) (a disciple of Otto Wagner) became a true discovery for Europe and the world.
		Plecnik's house, preserving its ambient and the artefacts which he used during his life, as well as an important archive is today a part of the Architectural Museum of Ljubljana, while Fu"zine Castle, the seat of the Architectural Museum, houses Plecnik's Paris Exhibition.
		Plecnik's creativity is evident in this wooden church where, in spite of a very limited budget, he managed to recreate a peaceful and informal environment.

	The Architectural Review: View from Ljubljana. @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		For architectural pilgrims, the star attraction is Joze Plecnik (1872-1957) who studied under Wagner in Vienna, and enhanced the Hradcany casde in Prague, but devoted most of his long life to the improvement of the capital and provincial churches.
		Plecnik juggles these diverse elements with masterly skill, achieving a harmonious balance of forms and textures.
		Plecnik's Mannerism complements the florid statuary, tiled and painted facades, and playful turrets of the earlier buildings that line the streets and embankment converging on Presernov Square (actually a cobbled circle) and the three bridges that carry traffic and pedestrians to the old town.

	Uniqueness in the heart of Europe -Joze Plecnik in Prague (1911-1920)
		In 1914 Plecnik, along with Kotera, Gocar and Kamil Hilbert, was among the founders of Spolecnost Architectu, an association of architects opposed to the official academicism of Czech architecture.
		The works produced at the school and published at the end of 1912 in Spolecnost Architectu journal are an interesting mixture of the classical (in the style of Plecnik), the patriotic (focusing on the nationalist theme) and of cubism (representing the avant-garde).
		Plecnik was first appointed as a member of the jury for the competition, chosen for his plan of Garden of Paradise and finally appointed the Castle Architect with the brief of restoring the ancient fortress.

		The Slovene architect, Joze Plecnik, became a central personality of the hidden artistic development which had occurred behind the faade of functional slogans of theoreticians and prominent creative personalities of European modernism, from Le Courbusier and Mies van der Rohe to Frank Lloyd Wright and Alvar Aalte.

		When one of the small masterpieces of the Slovene architect Joze Plecnik is offered as a gift, in the form of a choice replica executed in precious materials such as bronze, silver, or gold, the artist's thought grows tenfold, becoming more accessible and gaining a new life in a distinct environment.

	Joze Plecnik
		A pupil of Otto Wagner in Vienna, Plecnik brought to Slovenia a combination of modernism and a respect for the Palladian legacy.
		In so doing, it can be argued, he gave modernism a wider frame of reference, an approach supported by the exploitation of new materials such as steel, concrete and iron.
		In his work, for example, in Ljubljana, Plecnik certainly contributed to the development, between the wars, of a Slovene modernism, but at the same time his language was European, even international in scope.
