Joze Plecnik
Slovenian architect Joze Plecnik {1872-1957}, studied under Otto Wagner, one of the most important protagonists of Vienna Secession. Plecnik built a few important buildings in Vienna such as Zacherl House and the Church of the Holy Ghost, which was the first modern concrete sacred building in Europe.
