In our final bonus episode on Jože Plečnik, we discussed a few more of his projects, including 'Many Houses under One Roof', a unique unbuilt proposal for mass housing in post-war Ljubljana which imagined a huge colonnaded structure under which houses could be built in heterogenous harmony. We also discussed a pair of pavilions built for a convent in the countryside near Bled in northern Slovenia. The pavilions represent Plečnik's unique interpretations of the 'Primitive Hut' as an architectural form. Lastly, we discussed Plečnik's own house in Ljubljana and reflected on his legacy as one of the most idiosyncratic and surprising architects of the 20th century.
