Plečnik In Vietnam
Jovan Minić will have a public lecture at Nishizawa Architects about Jože Plečnik, one of the most influent European figure of the last century. He is a traversal figure of the last century, hardly located in a precise historical period.

The lecture will focus on his last fourth decade. Starting from his research of a national expression towards a precise and meticulous punctual intervention in Ljubljana will be presented. Considered as one of the father of the present democratic nation, his personality will be analyzed towards his incredible typological research and innovation.
Formally known as the Slovene Acropolis and the Cathedral of Freedom, the two designs were proposed in 1947 by Slovenia's most eminent architect, Joze Plecnik, but were rejected in favour of a more conventional design.
