Biography
France (Franz) Tomažič enrolled at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana in 1920 after completing eight years of grammar school, where he was among the first generation of Plečnik's students, graduating in 1924. Until 1930, he worked at the school as Plečnik's assistant. In 1932, he passed the engineering exams and opened his own studio, occasionally collaborating with I. Vurnik. Although he established a connection to traditions through Plečnik, his first independent projects demonstrated a complete turn and perfect knowledge of contemporary structures. The residential complex Dermota (1931), although still reflecting Plečnik's influence, is a clear example of modern architecture. After World War II, he served as an architectural consultant for the reconstruction of the destroyed village of Borjana. He also dealt with issues of affordable housing, urbanism, and the protection of historical monuments in Maribor. Subsequently, he worked at the Ministry of Construction and from 1946 to 1966 led the largest office in the country, Slovenija projekt.
