"The Yugoslavian architect Joze Plecnik followed what he believed to be a coherent language of architecture in trying to 'build a better world through architecture'. He cannot be classified in terms of any of the movements -- modernism, classicism, secessionism, eclecticism, regionalism, and the like -- thatcharacterize the turbulent aesthetic tendencies of this century. Instead, as the essays by leading European scholars and the 300 accompanying illustrations of his work show, Plecnik's long career offers an invaluable exampleof the richness and diversity of early modern architecture." - from the re ar cover.
