National and University Library, Ljubljana
Ljubljana 1936–9, Jože Plečnik
The Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, where Plečnik spent the latter part of his life, is the backdrop for some of his most ambitious schemes. Of these, the most monumental is the National and University Library, which ingeniously combines Classical and vernacular references. Designed to replace an early Baroque palace, the facade is representative of Plečnik’s most eccentric mannerist style.
