Its main activities thus include book publishing, expert consulting and, most importantly, maintaining and developing the archive of Fabiani's work and heritage. Though the latter is thought by many to be one of the most important architects of ''Mitteleuropa'' in his time, comprehensive documentation of his work has been only modestly preserved due to the destruction wrought by the Second World War. |
His architectural signature style was secession and historicism tinged modernism, which he – together with his urbanistic proposals – imprinted into the urban landscape of numerous European cities, most notably in Vienna, Trieste and Ljubljana. Still, his work can also be found all over Middle Europe, from Bielsko in Poland and Konopište in the Czech Republic, to the coastal cities of Opatija (Croatia) and Palermo (Italy). | His architectural signature style was secession and historicism tinged modernism, which he – together with his urbanistic proposals – imprinted into the urban landscape of numerous European cities, most notably in Vienna, Trieste and Ljubljana.

Trgovski dom izložba mesta, a permanent exhibition commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Maks Fabiani conceived by Nataša Kolenc and produced in cooperation with the Maks Fabiani Foundation,
Today the archive is housed at the Centre for Karst Architecture in the renovated Štanjel castle, which is a Fabiani's creation as well. As he was a renaissance type of a man, being also a town planner, an arts historian, a speculative engineer and a painter, philosopher, poet and fiction writer, this archive holds a rather varied collection.
Background
The idea for the foundation was formed while the architect and art historian Marko Pozzetto (1925–2006) was writing his book Maks Fabiani - Vizije prostora [Max Fabiani - Visions of Space], which was published in 1997. Pozzetto has been working on Fabiani for 35 years, during which he has been actively collecting and categorizing relevant documentation and other materials. Upon its founding, he contributed these to the foundation.
This archive is stationed at the renovated Štanjel castle and in 2010, it became a part of the Centre for Karst Architecture.
