»The presenting of Plečnik Awards is a singular ritual. With the grand revealing of the works of architectural excellence from recent years, it has taken place for 51 years … Plečnik Awards are presented to original works which, in one way or another, exhibit Plečnik’s ethos as they consider various contemporary societal challenges. This solemn ritual is more than just a testimony to the past; it is also a signpost directing our gaze into the future and emphasising the artistic, technical, and social responsibility in designing our shared space. Presenting the awards is an opportunity for the reflection upon the virtues of architecture in a dynamic environment facing numerous questions about the future our society and our environment. Going beyond the base standard, seeing beyond the economic and spatial barriers, seeking superior solutions, offering new visions and a consistent precision of execution are the tenets of any kind of developing, be it in the past, the present, or the future. This year’s awarded works are among those which take these premises to heart.«, among others, wrote this year’s jury – Matej Vozlič, Blaž Babnik Romaniuk, Matjaž Bolčina, Luka Javornik and Mia Roth Čerina.

Plečnik Awards are presented by Architect Jože Plečnik Fund.
