Plečnik’s urban projects reflect a unique blend of classical and modernist styles and shape the identity of today’s Ljubljana. His works are renowned for their innovative use of spoliation – the reuse of historical architectural elements or spolia, which he skilfully integrated into his architectural designs. Plečnik's use of spolia is highlighted in the exhibition and accompanying publication ‘Repurpose, Reinterpret: Tracing Spolia and Reuse in Plečnik’s Ljubljana’.
