Proposed itinerary (primary, secondary and optional choices; making a circular tour, passing different historical epochs and townscapes, including many modern buildings and open space designs): 10- Slovenska 6-Ferrant 35-XS house 9:00 : coffee at the Chamber of architects (ZAPS), Vegova 8, Ljubljana With some notes/introduction on architectural and urban planning history of LJ 1-Vegova street design (Plečnik et all.); in front of the Chamber 2-National and University Library of by Jožef Plečnik, Turjaška 1 The library building is the most monumental of Plečnik's works in Slovenia. In its size and form, it models the former Ducal Court (Knežji dvorec), which was at the same location and was de- stroyed in the 1895 earthquake. The building has a square ground plan and is a massive block with a court. The front façade, oriented toward Auersperg Street, was designed as a combination of brick and stone embeddings, some of them archaeological remains from the place. It was mo- delled in the manner of the Italian palazzo. The symbiosis of the fragile glass and massive walls in other parts of exterior is entirely original. 3-French revolution square (by Plečnik) 4- Križanke ex monastery complex (incl. its outdoor theatre) , Trg francoske revolucije 1 It is a theatre in Ljubljana, Slovenia, used for summer festivals set up inside the courtyard of the former Monastery of the Holy Cross. Construction of the original Monastery of the Order of Teutonic Knights at Križanke is believed to have commenced in 1228. The earthquake of 1511 severely damaged the monastery buildings and they were partly rebuilt between 1567 and 1579. The original church was completely rebuilt in Baroque style between 1714 and 171 by Venetian architect Domenico Rossi. Križanke continued to serve as a monastery until 1945, when the complex was nationalised. In 1952 city of Ljubljana asked the architect Jože Plečnik to remodel the now derelict monastery into a venue for Ljubljana Festival. Plečnik's last major contribution to the city (the works were completed in 1956) transformed the empty monastery into an open- -air theatre and festival space. The complex's original Gothic details were gradually subsumed by Renaissance and Baroque elements, as can be seen in the main courtyard, which features shal- low archways and exuberantly-coloured sgraffiti. 5-City of Ljubljana museum (restoration of an old palace by Ofis architects). 6-Ferrant housing complex (by Edvard Ravnikar; 70-ies) 7-Emonian House Archeological Park, architect Polona Filipič* 8-Trg Republike square development with different representative buildings (by Edvard Ravnikar, 70-ies) Republic Square or Square of the Republic (Slovene: Trg republike), at first named Revolution Square, is the largest square in Ljubljana.
