The Projects
Jože Plečnik’s almost century-old waterfront sequence, with at least a dozen distinct segments, represents an overlooked contribution to the urban edge discussion. His interventions in Ljubljana - and the work of those after - testify to his considerations of the ethical consequences of waterfront infrastructure, addressing not only the operative requirements of these systems but their ability to contribute to civic life in the capital.
The Proposal
The Ljubljana projects, an operative encyclopedia of a resilient infrastructural systems, are strewn out along a 2-mile stretch of the Ljubljanica and Gradaščica rivers. During a two-week-long walk, these interventions were documented in detail with a series of sections and site plans mapping the contextual, topographical, and situational provocations of site context.
