In 1921, after decades of working abroad, Jože Plečnik returned to his home city of Ljubljana. Already a famous architect with an international career he took a position as professor at the newly founded university, and together with his students and supporters embarked on building a unique architectural, artistic, and ethical world, one that over the decades evolved into a one-of-a-kind architectural phenomenon. Plečnik’s school was organised as a workshop run by the master, who led with absolute authority and dedication to the vocation. From the very inception of the school his students swayed between loyalty to the master and defiance of his archaic authority. By the time he died in 1957, Plečnik had created a body of work that ranks among the most distinctive architectural oeuvres of the 20th century and which defies categorisation into any of the established architectural styles. Further, he educated several generations of architects who went on to shape the distinctive modernism of the Ljubljana School in the second half of the 20th century.
