The Plečnik Award 2024 Exhibition: The Magnitude of Architecture was on view at the Plečnik House from May 19 to June 8, 2025.
The exhibition of the award-winning works is presented through the fundamental idea of the project, which this year we are placing in the context of “scale.”
Scale in architecture can be physical or abstract, measurable or metaphorical.
Architectural practice is multifaceted and encompasses numerous dimensions: physical scale, cultural value, social impact, spiritual dimension, the transcendence of philosophical ideas, the far-reaching nature of a vision, creative scope, or artistic excellence. Above all, architecture is a medium that we experience empirically, in relation to a broader context and in connection with nature and people. It knows how to balance proportions and harmonize relationships: small architecture can be culturally and socially significant—or vice versa.
The exhibition at Plečnik House highlighted the central theme of the project—or the guiding idea of the architectural intervention—through selected spatial fragments. Instead of a classical, objective presentation of absent architecture, it consciously took the opposite path—the ideas of the award-winning projects, theoretical and digital practices were presented in materialized form, as tangible artifacts that reveal their substantive and conceptual core.
The exhibition was curated by Jerneja Fischer Knap and Urša Vrhunc.
