About this person
Upon embracing the functionalist approach in the 1930s, Vurnik rivaled the more conservative Plečnik's approach. The Cooperative Business Bank, designed by Vurnik and his wife Helena Kottler Vurnik, who designed the decorative facade in the hues of the Slovene tricolor, has been called the most beautiful building in Ljubljana. Vurnik also created a number of urban plans, among these the plans for Bled (1930), Kranj (1933-1937), and Ljubljana (1935).
