The Faculty of Architecture is the only faculty of the University of Ljubljana that educates graduate engineers of architecture, which here also includes town planning and design. The Faculty originated in 1920 as the Department of Architecture. At the outset, the school’s artistic orientation was determined in the Middle European tradition and personified by Schinkel, Semper and Wagner. [[Jože Plečnik]] and Ivan Vurnik were successors to this tradition, followed from the 1950s to the 1980s by Professors [[Edo Ravnikar]] and [[Edo Mihevc]]. In the post-war period the Department of Architecture was for many years part of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, with the exception of a short period between 1950-1954 when it was independent within the framework of the Technical Faculties. The separate Faculty of Architecture was established in 1995 due to high interest, very efficient studies and an unusually wide range of areas in which architecture graduates can work successfully. The number of degrees awarded by the Faculty up to the year 2000 was close to 3,000. It currently turns out some 100 students every year. Development in computer science, psychology and production organisation is now enabling the expansion of activities to new architectural areas.

History

The Faculty originated in 1920 as the Department of Architecture. At the outset, the school’s artistic orientation was determined in the Middle European tradition and personified by Schinkel, Semper, and Wagner. Jože Plečnik and Ivan Vurnik were successors to this tradition, followed from the 1950s to the 1980s by Professors Edo Ravnikar and Edo Mihevc. In the post-war period the Department of Architecture was for many years part of the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, with the exception of a short period between 1950-1954 when it was independent within the framework of the Technical Faculties.

The separate Faculty of Architecture was established in 1995 due to high interest, very efficient studies, and an unusually wide range of areas in which architecture graduates can work successfully. The number of degrees awarded by the Faculty up to the year 2000 was close to 3,000. It currently turns out some 100 students every year. Development in computer science, psychology, and production organisation is now enabling the expansion of activities to new architectural areas.
