Buildings with iron and steel structures in Slovenia

Summary/Abstract: The article presents buildings with iron and steel structures in Slovenia. The introduction begins by presenting a brief review of cast iron and steel structures construction across the world: the first cast-iron bridge, the first public buildings from cast and wrought iron, and some global superior achievements in iron and steel structures. There is a detailed presentation of the more important iron structures in Slovenia: the first cast-iron bridge in Ljubljana, skeleton structures of industrial shops, iron structures of the Gorenjsko railways; and steel structures: the pavilion at the Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre, Tivoli Hall, Narta Studio, several structures designed by architect Milan Mihelič, the winter swimming-pool in Tivoli Park, a pavilion at Laško, structures designed by Sadar Vuga Arhitekti architecture office, Portoval Centre, and a mountain rest-house at Kotovo sedlo. In Slovenia, iron and steel building construction has not been widespread, and hence the article ends with some findings explaining why this is so.
