The authors incorporated numerous quotes and reflections by architects, as well as politicians and cultural figures connected with the building of Cankarjev dom. These are interwoven with poetry and drama by selected artists. The subtle and semantically multilayered soundwalk outlines the period of construction and the architecture of the building itself in the context of the present, offering a deeper understanding of its historical and cultural background.
The audio narrative also touches upon Ravnikar’s wider creative oeuvre, from the design of Republic Square as a demanding and long-term spatial intervention to his pedagogical work at the School of Architecture in Ljubljana. In his characteristic understanding of urban space, Ravnikar involved numerous architects and students who, in dialogue with politics and the broader professional field, laid the foundations for high-quality spatial design in a modernist Mediterranean spirit.
