Ravnikar's Ljubljana : portrait of a city

Breda Mihelič, Boštjan Kerbler


Publisher: Mestna občina Ljubljana, Mestni trg 1, Ljubljan - 2024

About

The year 2023 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the death of the architect, urban planner, designer, theorist, professor, and prolific author Edvard Ravnikar  (1907–1993).
He was the central figure of postwar Slovenian architecture, the most important Slovenian architect, a designer of buildings and spaces key to Slovenian national identity, and a charismatic teacher that trained many classes of Slovenian architects. He was just as important for Ljubljana’s development after the Second World War as his teacher Jože Plečnik had been during the interwar period. He received the Prešeren and Plečnik Awards and the Herder Prize for his work.
The Slovenian Ministry of Culture declared 2023 Ravnikar Year, and it prepared an extensive programme of events in his honour. The City of Ljubljana joined the efforts to commemorate this great artist by diligently maintaining and conserving his heritage and by popularizing his work, including through this latest publication in the series Portrait of a City.
