Overview

Slovenian architecture attracts considerable interest worldwide. School construction, a priority in Slovenia for decades, has acquired special significance as a result of the country's economic upswing. The school buildings presented in the publication ""Contemporary School Architecture in Slovenia"" were all constructed after 1991, following the establishment of the Republic of Slovenia. In addition to the introduction by the two authors Maja Ivanic and Spela Kuhar, the book includes interviews on the subject with five architects. The historical perspective is conveyed in an essay, and the documented projects are graphically presented.
