Irena Pivka, Brane Zorman: Globoka hiša (The Deep House)
Zvočni sprehod (16+), 60 min
An audio tour of Cankarjev dom (16+), 60 min
Globoka hiša (The Deep House) takes us on a guided audio tour of Cankarjev dom, tracing the path that connects the interior of the building with its surroundings. The story of this deep, subterranean structure offers an illuminating insight into the construction methods and architectural innovation of Edvard Ravnikar and his team.
The audio tour is interspersed with quotations relating to the construction of Cankarjev dom, reflections by architects, politicians, and cultural figures, as well as excerpts from poetry and drama.
This subtle, multi-layered audio journey, which situates the building within its contemporary context and outlines its construction history and architecture, can enrich an engaged audience by encouraging further exploration of written sources and deeper levels of understanding.

Edvard Ravnikar – The Architect of Cankarjev dom
Edvard Ravnikar (4 December 1907 – 23 August 1993) is a leading figure in Slovenian modernist architecture. Art historians Nace Šumi, Fran Šijanec, and Stane Bernik all regarded him as Slovenia’s foremost twentieth-century architect after Jože Plečnik.
He graduated in architecture in Vienna under Jože Plečnik. For a brief period (1938–1939), he studied in Paris with the renowned Le Corbusier. After World War II, Ravnikar served as a professor at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy in Ljubljana. In 1979, he became a full member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
Although a student of Jože Plečnik, Ravnikar developed a distinct architectural language of his own. Under the influence of Le Corbusier, he was among the first to introduce the principles of modernist architecture and urban planning into Slovenia. By advocating a comprehensive approach to architecture and urban planning, he reshaped architectural practice in Slovenia and then Yugoslavia.
The project was produced as part of Ravnikar Year 2023.
