NUK: National and University Library

The building is on the same piece of land where the late-Renaissance Anersperg Palace had been torn down after being partially destroyed by the 1895 earthquake Plecnik believed that something important had to be built here for several reasons. One was the location between Vegova and Gospoka streets around the open Novi-Trg space and another was lo replace the impressive building which had just been torn down. In 1931 Plecnik started to consider the possibilities of a National Library on this plot. After having taken into account all of the architectural factor and their importance , in this beloved city. He began by making a few basic sketches which he then presented to the local authorities for their approval and needed support in order to gel the financial aid from the Yugoslav Federal Government on Belgrade. El edificio está en el mismo terreno donde el Palacio de Anersperg, de finales del Renacimiento, fue derribado después de ser parcialmente destruido por el terremoto de 1895. Plecnik creía que algo importante tenía que ser construido aquí por varias razones. Una era la ubicación entre las calles Vegova y Gospoka alrededor del espacio abierto de Novi-Trg y otra era para reemplazar el impresionante edificio que acababa de ser derribado. En 1931, Plecnik comenzó a considerar las posibilidades de una Biblioteca Nacional en este terreno. Después de haber tenido en cuenta todos los factores arquitectónicos y su importancia, en esta amada ciudad. Comenzó por hacer algunos bocetos básicos que luego presentó a las autoridades locales para su aprobación y necesitó apoyo para conseguir la ayuda financiera del Gobierno Federal Yugoslavo en Belgrado. The new building, in addition to housing the National Library, had to accommodate a series of rooms and lecture halls for the University, which made the programme at least more complex by mixing two uses, and in any case made the library only a part of the building and not the whole.
