Recipients
The 2003 Plečnik Award went to the architects of a primary school in Kočevje, southern Slovenia, while a Plečnik Medal for his contribution to the development of Slovene architecture was posthumously presented to architect Savin Sever. In the same year the Plečnik Fund also honoured an international group of architects - Aljoša Dekleva, Manuela Gatto, Tina Gregorič, Robert Sedlak and Vasili Stroumpakos - who had examined the effects of shifting residential habits on urban residential architecture in their Masters dissertation entitled Negotiate My Boundary!, written as part of their study at the London Architectural Association.
In 2011 Matjaž Bolčina, Ernest Milčinovič and Teja Savelli received the award for the renovation and transformation of the Škratelj Homestead to the Museum of Slovenian Film Actors in Divača, while in 2012 Jurij Kobe from ATELIERarhitekti and Rok Žnidaršič got awarded for the reconstructed former Minorite convent on the bank of the Drava river, turned into the Maribor Puppet Theatre.
