This engaging book, captivating in its openness and breadth, takes readers on a chronological journey from the pile-dwellers and bridge-builders to 21st-century architecture. Written in an accessible style, the stories carefully weave together facts, curiosities, creators, and historical periods, making it appealing to both professional and general public.

Authors Špela Kuhar and Robert Potokar have long followed Slovenian architectural creativity. Kuhar works as an architect, author, and co-author of books and articles on architecture and architectural education, while Potokar is an architect, head of an architectural office, and a visiting lecturer at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and Architecture in Maribor.
