ABOUT JOŽE PLEČNIK (ARHITECT):
Jože Plečnik combined a modern approach to planning with »classical» design and created a brand new – never seen before- whole. He designed the first completely iron-concrete church, introduced a modern comprehension of churches, shaped a monolith facade, used a »ready-made« and »degraded« the classical pillar into prefabrication...all of this in the beginning of the 20th century.

Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik (1872-1957), studied under Otto Wagner, one of the most important protagonists of Vienna Secession. Plečnik built a few important buildings in Vienna such as Zacherl House and the Church of the Holy Ghost, which was the first modern concrete sacred building in Europe.

Tomaš Garrigue Masaryk (1850-1937), Czechoslovakia's first president, commissioned Plečnik for the re-construction of the Hradčany or the Prague Castle (a residence of the president of the Republic). Another prominent building built in Prague was the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Vinohrady.

In Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, he built many public buildings such as National and University Library, Mutual Assurance Building, Triple Bridge etc. and planned the development of the evolving city.
