    Chapter 5 Jože Plečnik, the Regulation of Ljubljana

    CHAPTER 5 JOŽE PLEČNIK, THE REGULATION OF LJUBLJANA – CLASSICAL MODERNISM 1928-1939 B W Davies Chapter 5 CHAPTER 5 Jože Plečnik, The Regulation of Ljubljana – Classical Modernism 1928-1939 The other major developments in architectural work and town and city planning in Central Europe are not to be found in the efforts of a large number of people but in the work of one man whose architectural oeuvre enriched firstly Prague and then Ljubljana. He was Jože Plečnik; Plečnik is the central figure in a forgotten chapter in the development of international modernism. The Slovene architect Jože Plečnik has become the central personality of a so far largely ignored development taking place behind the façade of functionalist slogans of theoreticians and prominent creative personalities of international modernism including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright and Alvar Aalto.1 Plečnik had for years remained largely unrecognised even though one of his works, Church of the Sacred Heart, first drawn in 1922 (5.1), arriving at a final design in 1927, dominates a square in Vinohrady, Prague – a robust building which can stand alone or be seen as a focus for Plečnik’s work especially in the inventiveness in the use of historical, regional and even local elements in new, original wholes, ranging from minute details, to major planning projects.2 Plečnik’s return to Slovenia from the Czechoslovak Republic was by no means certain for two reasons: in 1920 Plečnik was invited by Tomáš Mašaryk, President of the new Czechoslovak Republic, to be architect in chief in the remodelling and restoration of Hradcany (Prague Castle).

At a large lake in the marshes near the source of the Ljubljanica they stopped and disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. The lake was the dwelling place of a monster, which Jason fought, defeated and killed. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower depicted on the Ljubljana coat of arms.

    Ljubljana Public Transport .lpp.si ake a ride on www Let yourself be taken away T About the company The most important task of the public company Javno podjetje Ljubljanski potniški promet d.o.o. (LPP) is to provide safe, reliable and smooth-running public transport in the area of the entire City Municipality of Ljubljana and sixteen suburban municipalities. Our wish and goal is to make sure that buses will become the best alternative to private cars since in this way we can remove private vehicles from urban areas to ensure a healthy environment for future generations. To provide comfortable, safe and fast transport to Ljubljana's citizens as well as for those living in the suburban municipalities, it is necessary to work as a team and in coordination: this is the daily motto of the almost 1,000 employees of our company. By purchasing new, modern, air-conditioned, environment and disabled friendly buses, along with regular training of the drivers, optimisation of the schedules and many other projects and measures for sustainable mobility, we provide public transport services of increasing quality. City of Ljubljana More about LPP: www.lpp.si/en, [email protected]. CNG buses Modernisation of the LPP city passenger transport fleet of 280 buses from the year 2006 onwards has significantly contributed to comfortable traveling and simultaneously to an improved healthy living environment. All 154 new environment friendly buses bought in recent years, meeting the Euro 5 or Euro 6 standards, among them 68 CNG buses for a nicer and healthier environment, cleaner air and lower noise levels, will convince even the most zealous advocates of traveling by cars in urban areas.

Nevertheless, it has history, tradition, style, arts & culture, an atmosphere that is both Central European and Mediterranean; many also add the adjectives multilingual and hospitable. Being close to many of the major sights and attractions of Slovenia, Ljubljana can also be your starting point to discover the country’s diversity. Slovenian capital Ljubljana is situated about halfway between Vienna and Venice. Its character and appearance have been shaped by diverse cultural influences and historical events. While in winter it is remarkable for its dreamy Central European character, it is the relaxed Mediterranean feel that stands out during summer. Legend about the origin of Ljubljana Legend has it that Ljubljana was founded by the Greek mythological hero Jason and his companions, the Argonauts, who had stolen the golden fleece from King Aetes and fled from him across the Black Sea and up the Danube, Sava and Ljubljanica rivers. At a large lake in the marshes near the source of the Ljubljanica they stopped and disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. The lake was the dwelling place of a monster, which Jason fought, defeated and killed. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower depicted on the Ljubljana coat of arms.
