Awards and recognitions

Edvard Ravnikar was recognized for his talent early on. Immediately after World War II, he became a professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

In 1955, during the early years of postwar reconstruction, he received The City of Ljubljana Award for architecture for his contribution to the reconstruction of Ljubljana and was also the Dean of The Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana. Six years later he was awarded the Prešeren Prize, the highest honor for artistic accomplish-ments in Slovenia, his first of two. In 1963, he became a corresponding member of the Yugoslav Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 1969 a corresponding member of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. In 1970, he was awarded The Order of the Red Banner of Labour by SFRJ (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) for his achievements in architecture. In 1973, he was appointed a member of the Association Internationale Le Corbusier in Geneva. Two years later, in 1974, he was awarded his first Plečnik Prize for Architecture, the most important architectural prize in the country, bestowed by the Association of Architects of Slovenia, for the Revolution Square project. In 1978, he was recognized for the same project by the Republic of Slovenia with his second Prešeren Prize. The next year he was finally elected a regular member of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts, after years of politically motivated deferrals. Three years later, in 1982, he was honored by the State of Yugoslavia once more with the AVNOJ Award for Architecture. In 1984, he was presented with The Borba newspaper award for the building of the Ivan Cankar Cultural Centre (Cankarjev Dom) in Ljubljana. In 1985, after his retirement, he was named Professor Emeritus at the Faculty for Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy in Ljubljana where he had been a lecturing professor since 1946 . In 1987, he received his second Plečnik Prize for architecture, in 1988 he re-ceived the Herder Prize for architecture in Vienna and he was awarded an honorary doctorate in technical sciences for technical achievements in architecture from the Graz School for Technical Sciences in Austria

Finally, in honor of his exceptional work, in 1990, he was made an honorary member of the Society of Slovene Architects.
