In July 2021 Ple\u010dnik’s work in Ljubljana was inscribed on the World Heritage List as an exceptional example of human-scale public space design. With the inscription on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites the international community recognized in the architect\u2019s work the values that transcend national or regional boundaries and are of common importance for all humanity. Ple\u010dnik\u2019s approaches, including his uncovering of the context of the city, the diversity of meanings and functions, economy of interventions, and first and foremost human-scale urban design, came to be seen as attributes of outstanding universal value. <\/strong>The inscription is the most prestigious international recognition, but at the same time it also binds us to ensure systematic protection of the values embodied by Ple\u010dnik’s architecture and urban planning. This is only possible in contemporary coexistence with Ple\u010dnik’s heritage, with a collective understanding of the importance and values of public space of Ple\u010dnik’s Ljubljana, through its continuous updating, contextualizing, and inclusive integration into our daily lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this in mind the principal stakeholders of the inscription of the selected Ple\u010dnik works on the UNESCO list transformed the architect’s kiosk in Pre\u0161eren Square into a space of awareness-raising and communication of the values of Ple\u010dnik’s Ljubljana<\/strong>. The City of Ljubljana, in cooperation with the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, restored the kiosk and entrusted its management until March 2023 to the Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana (MGML).* Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) and MGML in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture will be in charge of the programme in the kiosk, including exhibitions, lectures, and tours of the city. Come summer it will be occupied by a BIO27 Super Vernaculars \u00ad\u2013 Design for a Regenerative Future programme, when the interdisciplinary group Garnitura prepares an instructive but fun project based on Ple\u010dnik’s principles and playful architectural language, integrated into the Ljubljana city centre. The Garnitura team stressed: \u201cIn the framework of the BIO27 biennial programme we are planning to set up a temporary iconic Ple\u010dnik kiosk with a different intended use. It will serve as a space for impromptu events and a starting point for various programmes through which we will present Ple\u010dnik’s legacy. At this info point we will present different aspects and new products, integrating them into a single whole.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Situated directly by the master\u2019s Three Bridges the kiosk will also serve as a telling warning, reminding us how to tackle the challenges of <\/strong>commercialization, reckless interventions into heritage, and mismanagement. An opportunity to preserve quality public space and enjoy everything it has to offer is in keeping with the message communicated by the inscription to the local audiences and international community.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

May Ple\u010dnik\u2019s heritage serve as a space of reflection on the values of public space, its functions, quality, and importance for the citizens. <\/strong>Together we reflect on the quality environment for the benefit of every person and society in general, taking into account both the achievements of the past and contemporary interventions, and assessing its quality not only in terms of economy and function, but also in view of how we experience a space, its context, and beauty. Ple\u010dnik inspires us to integrate architecture and the built environment with the principles of the green answer, sustainable development, and an inclusive society.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

* The renovation of the kiosk is expected to be completed in June 2022.<\/p>\n
