ASSIGNMENT SAMPLE ON INNOVATIVE CULTURAL EXPERIENCE MASTER PLECNIK
Introduction
Description of the research topic
Architecture is a part of the tangible cultural heritage which provides a way to know about the ways in which physical artefacts are maintained and produced for the coming generation as a heritage (Twumasi-Ampofo et al., 2020). Therefore by the use of material design integrity and historical integrity of the humanity built cultural heritage is protected. Cultural heritage with the implementation of a digitalization can play a central role to protect the cultural uniqueness enabling the present generation to connect to the past. In terms of beliefs, values, social customs and traditions, the digitalization in the cultural heritage will allow the people to identify belongingness, unity and national pride
Digitalization for the cultural heritage enables the current and future generation to access the culturally important objects like architecture, flora, fauna or painting. Digital preservation can share high quality experiences with virtual reality and photographs that can reconstruct the tangible identity for the objects of that particular culture (U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, 2021).
Heritage tourism is defined as travelling to experience the artefact places and activities that authentically represent the people and the stories of the past including historic culture and natural resources (Visit Ljubljana, 2021).

DIGITISATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
Master builder Plečnik and the new innovative tourism product
3.1 Presentation of Plečnik and his work
‘You are fleeting, but your work is your memory’ These words quoted by
3.2 Plečnik’s work and tourism (the sights, Plečnik’s house)
Ljubljana, influenced by mixed culture over the centuries, is an architectural marvel tourist attraction, with various styles of the older renaissance architecture to Baroque architecture till the late 1800’s.
With the help of An eighteen-minute walk from the Central market to Plečnik house itself passes through 5 of the architectural marvels Plečnik created.

The first thing that catch our sight in Ljubljana city is the iconic market buildings along the banks of Ljubljana River, designed by Plečnik, which is one of the most recognisable images of the city. While Plečnik modelled the river side of the market halls on Italian renaissance lines, he chose antique style columns for the street side, to stand before entrance to individual buildings.

Walking through Congress square, we soon reach the National and University Library building designed by Plečnik again. It is a masterpiece designed as a house of knowledge and combines elements that are first sight incompatible. The front façade is inspired by Italian renaissance architecture, while the huge marble columns are reminiscent of antique temples, and the magnificent reading room is an entrance to the world of knowledge and enlightenment.

Krizanke summer theatre is the fourth walking destination just 100 metres away, which was rearranged by Plečnik from the former Monastery of the Order of Teutonic Knights. It is covered with a movable canvas roof to perform during all seasons.
Situated another few hundred metres away is the Plečnik house. We pass the marvellous Trnovo Bridge designed by Plečnik again, pass the parish church to reach our 5th destination.

By the 1915, the Plečnik brothers purchased the property in Karunova ulica, Ljubljana for building a simple home for the family, then they bought nearby house for a brother, build a cylindrical annexe to the house and a glassy Poarch by the master builder after purchasing a suburban house near to it for the whole siblings to settle down. But eventually it turned to be a house in which Plečnik lived and worked alone his all life. He reconstructed that complex of houses with his characteristic thrift and made use of inexpensive materials and a variety of leftover pillars, slabs and other elements remaining from his previous projects. He made a round tower finished with peculiar circular extension and a conical roof to the existing first floor of the house, then a veranda near the entrance and a beautiful winter garden. After Plečnik’s death in 1957, his nephew Karel Matkovič took over the house and later donated it to the Department of Cultural of the Municipality of Ljubljana in 1970 and after two years it converted into a museum.

The significant change took place in 2013 when MGML (Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana) began renovation of the abode with the design by Arrea Architecture. But Plečnik’s original furniture, library, drawing tools, personal belongings and a large archive of sketches, plans and photographs are kept as a legacy of the great architectural work for showcasing the visitors. At present, Plečnik house is open for the public and tourists from Tuesday to Sunday. Museum & Galleries of Ljubljana maintained the heritage of Plečnik’s collection and digitalised Plečnik’s original plans in collaboration with the Museum of Architecture and Design. As a part of that, new study centre and exhibition spaces for the investigation of Plečnik’s heritage has been established in Ljubljana.
Church of St Michael, Zale Cemetery, Ljubljanica river barrier, Cobbler’s bridge and Trnovo Pier are the other iconic monuments designed by Joze Plečnik in the city.
3.3 Digitalization of Plečnik’s work (Project)
Plečnik was a great admirer of ancient and classical architecture. Through the study he developed his own fusion of classical and traditional elements used in modern ways. Examples of this fusion include the balustrade of concrete at Tromostovje and the iron volutes of the Ionic columns on the National Library’s façade.
These documents of lectures were in physical form and our project involves researching and finding more of these lectures along with the blueprints, photos etc. and converting them to digital format, so that it is available for the present and future generation in easier way.

Along with providing information to historians and tourists, the same can also be used by present and future architects to fuse with digital town planning as well as scanning the older buildings for maintenance.
3.4 The new innovative tourism project
Our tourism project emphasises on identifying the architectural talent of Plečnik and providing them to the tourists. The idea is to collect the data from the physical form of lectures done by Plečnik and various ones already digitalized, make topical view videos with drones, use them to provide a 3D visualization by virtual reality goggles to the tourists and architecture enthusiasts /students. The data can also be used to 3D miniature modelling and 3D printing of the monuments, which can be a souvenir gift. These can be arranged in the welcome hall of all famous architectural sights of Slovenia, giving the tourists, a perfect introduction of them.
>CONCLUSION
Plenik identified areas for future bridge connections in his master plan and throughout the construction of the embankments, and designers have continued to develop the embankment projects since then, commencing in the 1950s and continuing to the present. A lot of renovation projects are planned or underway, so this was a perfect transitional opportunity to photograph the original projects after a half-century of weathering. Plenik’s approach to designing the edge establishes a project’s open-endedness, which both permits future advances and proposes a sectional vocabulary for execution by a new generation of Slovenian designers.(1) Master Builder Plenik is an experience construct for small groups that focuses on learning about the heritage of Joe Plenik’s spirit. It consists of a whole excursion both on land and along the river follows the traces of Plenik’s plans and visions. Experienced guides assist travellers in focusing their attention and look, and together they unveil the great architect’s talent, which led to Ljubljana’s inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List.(2) It’s about technology, data, process, and organizational change. Photographs, documents or other paper-based materials. …Objects. …Audio or audio/visual items. …A note on ‘born digital’etc…. are used in plecnik house.The value of iconic architecture is frequently allocated to the physical structure, while the broader benefits that a building might provide are sometimes disregarded or downplayed. Building design and famous architecture, on the other hand, attract wandering people who use these prominent monuments to identify a place (country, city, or precinct). While it is not the goal of architects to generate tourist spending, designers are becoming increasingly conscious that well-articulated and practical buildings can become visitor attractions in their own right — an externality that must be valued. Use the office as an innovation lab Engage the community. …Collaborate with an engineer. …Embrace technology. …Work with wood. …Experiment with innovation and new materials. …Explore prefabrication and modular design etc…..
