Za najdbo tega zaklada boste morali odigrati avanturo Plečnikova Ljubljana s pomočjo aplikacije Adventure Lab. Avantura vas bo popeljala po znanih in manj znanih Plečnikovih delih. Za bonus zaklad boste potrebovali podatke od A do E, ki jih pridobite z najdbo posameznih lokacij te avanture.
Priporočamo, da pričnete pri Zapornici na Ljubljanici in končate pri Križankah. Bonus zaklad ni skrit na podanih koordinatah. Je pa tu vhod v Fakulteto za arhitekturo, kjer je Plečnik poučeval. Ob urejanju Križank je Plečnik pred šolo "Na grabnu" kamor se je po drugi svetovni vojni preselila šola za arhitekturo, postavil tudi klasični baldahin z zanj značilnimi svetilniki.
Do končne lokcije vas bo pot najbrž vodila tudi mimo Trnovskega mosta, ki s svojo širino predstavlja trg pred cerkvijo. Nanj je Plečnik posadil drevje in ga tako naredil za unikatnega v svetovnem merilu, je namreč edini most na svetu z drevjem posajenim na samem mostu. V Trnovski cerkvi je prav tako nekaj njegovih del, če je odprta, le pokukajte noter.

Še nekaj besed o našem največjem in vodilnem arhitektu vseh časov, Jožetu Plečniku
Jože Plečnik (avtor fotografije neznan, vir fotografije: Wikipedija) / Jože Plečnik (author of photo is unknown, source of photo: Wikipedia)
Delo arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika (1872-1957) zaznamuje tri srednjeevropska mesta: Dunaj, Prago in Ljubljano. Na Dunaju, kjer se je šolal pri arhitektu Ottu Wagnerju, se je odlikoval s postavitvijo Zacherlove palače (1903-1905), ki sodi po splošnem mnenju kritike med pionirska dela evropske moderne arhitekture. Poleg nekaterih družinskih hiš, notranjih ureditev in vodnjaka Karla Boromejskega (1906-1909) je svoje delo na Dunaju sklenil s cerkvijo sv. Duha na Ottakringu (1910-1912), ki je bila ena prvih sakralnih stavb, izvedenih v železobetonu v vsem avstro-ogrskem cesarstvu. Njegov praški opus obsega obsežne preureditve praškega gradu (Hradčani) in vrtov (1920-1933) ter cerkev presv. Srca Jezusovega na Vinohradih (1928-1932). Na povabilo češkoslovaškega predsednika Tomaša G. Masaryka je na praškem gradu, ki si ga je predsednik izbral za svojo rezidenco, preuredil številne grajske notranjščine, I. in III. dvorišče, Rajski vrt, Vrt na Okopih in Vrt na Bastiji, v katerih naj bi se na izrecno predsednikovo željo zrcalile ideje svobode in demokracije. Po prihodu v Ljubljano leta 1921, kjer so mu ponudili mesto profesorja na novo ustanovljeni ljubljanski univerzi, je vse ustvarjalne moči posvetil urbanističnemu oblikovanju mesta. Pred očmi je imel Ljubljano, novo nastajajočo prestolnico Slovencev, in ji namenil vsebino in vizijo novih Aten. Ne le da je v mestu zasnoval opus ključnih stavb, ki so zaznamovale antične Atene, tudi celotni videz Ljubljane naj bi bil po njegovem mnenju spet sredozemski. Veličastnosti zamisli je pridružil še povsem svojevrsten način oblikovanja mesta. Od svoje hiše v Trnovem je oblikoval kopno os, ki pelje po Emonski in Vegovi cesti naravnost v osrčje mesta na Kongresni trg in park Zvezdo. Nedaleč stran od njegovega doma se reka Ljubljanica cepi na Ljubljanico in Gruberjev kanal. Tam je nastala tako imenovana Špica. Oblikoval je torej tudi vodno os, celotno porečje Ljubljanice skozi mesto, od Špice mimo sprehajališča z vrbami ob Trnovskem pristanu in izliva Gradaščice do Šentjakobskega mostu, dalje mimo svojega Čevljarskega mostu do Tromostovja, ki pomeni vrh v nastali kompoziciji. Ob mostu je oblikoval dolgo potezo Tržnic in jo sklenil z Zapornico, slavolokom, kjer reka Ljubljanica zapušča mesto. Na ti dve osi je položil nekaj pravokotnic: oblikovano porečje Gradaščice, Zoisovo cesto z iztekom na Šentjakobski trg in nadaljevanje s Potjo na grad ter ambiciozno zasnovano os od Rožnika mimo Tromostovja na Ljubljanski grad, od katere mu je uspelo uresničiti le veliko sprehajališče v Tivoliju, na gradu pa preureditev obzidne trdnjave Šance. V nastalo mrežo je postavljal svoje stavbe, ki dajejo osnovni mreži temeljne poudarke in jo logično nadgrajujejo, tako Križanke, Narodno in univerzitetno knjižnico, Uršulinsko gimnazijo, Vzajemno zavarovalnico. Številne druge so ostale zgolj v načrtih. Zunaj ožjega središča, vendar domala vse v kontekstu repertorija novih Aten so nastali cerkev sv. Frančiška v Šiški, Stadion, Baragovo semenišče, pokopališki kompleks poslovitvenih vežic Žale in na južnem obrobju Ljubljane v Črni vasi še cerkev sv. Mihaela na Barju. Razen Križank so vsa ta dela z urbanističnimi potezami vred nastala v manj kot dvajsetih letih (1925-1944). Tako je lahko arhitekt še sam opazoval kako mesto, zlasti v starem delu, polno učinkuje. In tu so še nekatere njegove oblikovne posebnosti. Plečnik je praviloma uporabljal klasične oblikovne prvine, kot so stebri, preklade, balustri, stebriči ipd., vendar je vse te oblike predeloval na oseben in zelo izviren način. Njegove oblike so duhovite, humorne, včasih opremljene celo z erotičnimi namigi, z drugo besedo: subverzivne. Z njimi je razkrojil klasični red in njegov v zgodovini utrjeni pomen, da bi bile lahko nekoč kot ključne prvine javnih prostorov, trgov, mostov, stopnišč, kolonad ipd. na voljo dobesedno vsem meščanom brez razlike. Po vseh teh lastnostih se Plečnikova Ljubljana uvršča med najpomembnejše celostne umetnine 20. stoletja in je tako svetovni urbanistični fenomen.

To find this associated bonus cache you will need the information from A to E, which are provided by finding the individual location of this adventure and in the end you need to calculate the final location.
We recommended that you start at The sluice on Ljubljanica river and end at Križanke. The bonus cache is not hidden in the given coordinates. There is an entrance to the Faculty of Architecture, where Plečnik taught. While arranging Križanke, Plečnik also erected a classic canopy with typical lighthouses in front of the "Na grabnu" school, where the school of architecture moved after the Second World War.
The path will probably lead you to the final location, past the Trnovski most bridge, which with its width represents the square in front of the church. Plečnik planted trees on it and thus made it unique on a global scale, namely it is the only bridge in the world with trees planted on the bridge itself. There are also some of his works in the Trnovo church, if it is open, just peek inside.

A few more words about our greatest and most famous architect Jože Plečnik
The work of architect Jože Plečnik (1872-1957) has left an impression on three Central European cities: Vienna, Prague and Ljubljana. In Vienna, where he trained under architect Otto Wagner, he distinguished himself by erecting Zacherl Palace (1903-1905), which, according to the general opinion of critics, is ranked among the pioneering works of European modern architecture. Besides several family houses, interior designs and the Carlo Borromeo fountain (1906-1909), he concluded his work in Vienna with the Church of the Holy Spirit in Ottakring (1910-1912), one of the first holy buildings with a reinforced concrete construction in the whole of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His Prague works comprise the extensive re-landscaping of Prague Castle (Hradčani) and pertaining gardens (1920-1933) as well as the Church of the Sacred Heart on Vinohradi (1928-1932). On the invitation of the Czechoslovak president Tomaš G. Masaryk he redesigned several interior rooms in Prague Castle, which the president chose as his residence and bureau, as well as the courtyards I and III, Garden of Eden, Garden on the Ramparts, and Bailey Garden, which ought to reflect the ideas of freedom and democracy on the express wish of the president himself. After arriving in Ljubljana in 1921, where he was offered the post of Professor at the newly founded Ljubljana University, all his creative powers were focused on the urban planning of the city. Ljubljana, the newly emerging capital of the Slovenes, lay before him and he intended it to have the elements and vision of a new Athens. Not only did his opus in the city include the design of key buildings, which marked the Athens of Antiquity, but the whole appearance of Ljubljana was supposed to be, in his opinion, Mediterranean once again. He combined these grand concepts with his own entirely unique method of planning the city. From his house in Trnovo district he designed the land axis that leads along the streets of Emonska and Vegova directly to the heart of the city in Congress Square (Kongresni trg) and Star (Zvezda) Park. Not far from his home the river Ljubljanica splits into the Ljubljanica and Gruber Canal. That was where the so-called Špica (meaning edge or point) originated. He therefore also designed the water axis and the whole Ljubljanica river basin through the city from Špica past the promenade lined with willows along Trnovo pier and the Gradaščica outflow to Šentjakobski most (St. James’ Bridge), and further along past his Čevljarski most (Cobblers’ Bridge) to Tromostovje (the Three Bridges), the culmination of the composition thus created. Adjacent to the bridge he planned the long stretch of Tržnice (the Market), concluding with the sluice gates, a triumphal arch where the river Ljubljanica leaves the city. On these two axes he laid several lines at right angles: the planned river basin of the Gradaščica, Zoisova Street that ends in Šentjakobski trg (St. James’ Square), and its continuation with the path to the castle as well as the ambitiously designed axis from Rožnik hill past — the Triple Bridge to Ljubljana Castle. From that he only managed to create a grand promenade in Tivoli Park, and on the castle, the redesign of the outer bailey — Šance. He placed his buildings in the grid thus created, therefore giving it its basic accents and logically enhancing it. These buildings include Križanke, the National and University Library, Ursuline High School, and the Mutual Assurance Building. Many others remained only at the planning stage. Outside of the narrow centre, yet almost within the context of the repertoire of the new Athens, are the Church of St. Francis in Šiška district, the Stadium, the Baraga Seminary, the Žale cemetery complex with its valedictory halls, and on the southern periphery of Ljubljana, in Črna vas, the Church of St. Michael on the Marsh. Apart from Križanke, all these works, together with their urban traits, originated in less than twenty years (1925-1944). Thus the architect himself could observe how the city acts as a whole, especially in the old quarter. And here are some of his particular design features. As a rule, Plečnik used classically designed elements such as columns, beams, balustrades, pilasters, etc., yet all of these were created in a personal and highly original way. His designs are ingenious, amusing, sometimes incorporating even erotic undertones - in other words, subversive. He used them to dismantle the classical order and its established significance in history so that, as key elements in public places, squares, bridges, stairways, colonnades, etc., they would now be available literally to all townspeople. For all these features Plečnik’s Ljubljana is ranked as one of the most important complete works of art of the 20th century and is therefore a global urban phenomenon.
