coin Slovenia 2 euro commemorative 2022 150th anniversary of the birth of Jože Plečnik FDC
depicts a detail of the main window of the reading room of the national and university library, in front of which there is a column. It is accompanied by a composition of letters, A R H. P L E Č N I K. The letters are set in order in the window, and can be interpreted metaphorically as the signature of the architect, really present in his works. They are inserted into deeper window openings and (in Plečnik's language) can be considered as interventions on the architectural space, for emphasis, inserted in the facade or as geometrically designed objects. The entire composition represents an idea of space that reflects the richness of the architect's ideas: the fulcrum is the main column, whose function is to divide the space of the coin and define the internal-external or front-back relationship, one of the Plečnik's most common stylistic features in the design of space. In this way the composition becomes a spatial miniature, a space in space, layered and mystical
