Ilija Arnautovic, Socialism in Slovene Architecture

The book Ilija Arnautovic, Socialism in Slovene Architecture is a professional homage to my grandfather. An architect who focused entirely on residential architecture, produced an enormous oeuvre and kept quiet. The after-war modernist era created a specific climate and this climate produced specific architecture. One that was filled with beliefs directed towards a better world. Without being naive, it literally helped move the society. Without cynicism.

 

Andrej Mercina, author

The book and the exhibition received the Slovene National Award for Architecture in recognition of their contribution to architectural theory, Plečnik Medal 2007.
