Plečnik’s urban plan for the northern part of Ljubljana

Z vprašanjem ureditve severnega dela Ljubljane se je Mestna občina začela ukvarjati konec 19. stoletja. Narejenih je bilo veliko regulacijskih načrtov s strani različnih arhitektov, a so vsi ostali nerealizirani. V zaključni seminarski nalogi se bom osredotočila na regulacijski načrt, ki ga je projektiral Jože Plečnik. Študijo regulacije severnega dela Ljubljane je Plečnik leta 1929 objavil v reviji Dom in svet. Študija je obsegala načrt in kratek komentar, v katerem je Plečnik opisal svojo idejo načrta. Do takrat skromno urbanizirani del mesta je Plečnik želel spremeniti v okraj, ki bi prevzel vse pomembne funkcije mesta. Talni načrt je zasnoval kot pahljačasto cestno mrežo, na zahodu omejeno z Dunajsko cesto in na vzhodu z železnico. Glavno hrbtenico okraja je predstavljala Linhartova cesta, vzdolž katere so bili postavljeni najpomembnejši kulturni in upravni objekti. Ob glavni cesti je projektiral stanovanjske bloke, ostalo območje je namenil gradnji vrstnih hiš in prosto stoječih stavb. V načrt je vključil veliko zelenih površin in s tem uresničil svojo idejo o stanovanjskem okraju v zelenju.The municipality of Ljubljana started to question about the regulation of the Ljubljana’s northern part at the end of 19th Century. A lot of regulation plans were done by different architects, however, they all remained unrealized. In the seminar thesis, I will focus on the regulation plan by Jože Plečnik. The study of the Ljubljana’s northern part regulation Plečnik published in the magazine Home and world (Dom in svet) in 1929. The study included a plan and a short commentary where Plečnik described his idea of the plan. Until then a modest urbanized part of the city, Plečnik wanted to turn into a district, which would overcome all important functions of the city. The ground plan was constructed as a fan-like road net, which bordered Dunajska Road to the west and railway to the east. The main spine of the district was presented by Linhart Road where the most important cultural and administrative buildings were situated. By the main road, he projected blocks of flats, the rest of the area was meant for terraced houses and individual buildings. He included a lot of green areas in the plan and therefore actualized his idea of a residential district in greenery
