1643 SI - The works of Jože Plečnik in Ljubljana – Human Centred Urban Design (2021)

The works Jože Plečnik carried in Ljubljana between World War I and World War II present an example of a human centred urban design that successively changed the identity of the city following the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, when it changed from a provincial city into the symbolic capital of the Slovenian people. The architect Jože Plečnik contributed to this transformation with his personal, profoundly human vision for the city, based on an architectural dialogue with the older city while serving the needs of emerging modern 20th century society. The property consists of a series of public spaces (squares, parks, streets, promenades, bridges) and public institutions (national library, churches, markets, funerary complex) that were sensitively integrated into the pre-existing urban, natural and cultural context and contributed to the city’s new identity. This highly contextual and human-scale urbanistic approach, as well as Plečnik’s distinctive architectural idiom, stand apart from the other predominant modernist principles of his time. It is an exceptional case of creating public spaces, buildings and green areas according to the vision of a single architect within a limited time, the limited space of an existing city, and with relatively limited resources.

建筑师约热·普列赤涅克于两次世界大战之间在卢布尔雅那创作的作品展示了一种以人为本的城市设计。在奥匈帝国解体之后,卢布尔雅那从一个省级城市变为斯洛文尼亚人民的具有象征意义的首都,这些设计在这一进程中改变了原有的城市身份。普列赤涅克以个人化的、极具人文精神的城市愿景服务于城市的转变,而其愿景的基础,是在满足20世纪新兴现代社会需求的同时与老城展开建筑对话。该遗产地由一系列公共空间(广场、公园、街道、长廊、桥梁)和公共机构(国家图书馆、教堂、市场、葬礼设施)组成,它们细腻地融入原有的城市、自然和文化环境,并参与塑造新的城市身份。这种高度情景化和人性化的城市规划方法,以及普列赤涅克独特的建筑语言,迥异于同时代的其它主流现代主义原则。该遗产地是一个在有限时间和现有城市的有限空间之内,利用相对有限资源,按照单一建筑师的愿景创造公共空间、建筑和绿地的特例。
