HISTORY OF THE FUTURE:Archetypes of Plečnik's Architecture
The exhibition presents a series of photographs, axonometric drawings, and abstract models made from wood, epoxy resin, and plaster – of the so-called “archetypes” in which students condensed the ideas from select examples of Plečnik’s architecture. With archetypes students created a rich architectural vocabulary that helped them form new projects of different scales.
The archetypes are presented at the exhibition as independent artefacts within a “cabinet of curiosities”, free from the weight of an architectural project and caught in the camera lens of photographer Matevž Paternoster.
History of the Future is the title of a student’s architectural project, conducted in the academic year 2017/18 in the design studio of Prof. Jurij Sadar, at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Ljubljana.
