Based on a detailed analysis of mostly unpublished and uninterpreted archival material and literature, the master's thesis deals with the architectural interventions and conceptual plans for the palace at Novi trg 3, which underwent spatial and architectural changes at the end of the 19th century with the demolition of a part of the wing and the change of tenants. The current occupant, the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, moved into the premises of the former Landhaus in 1939. When the Academy was given the use of the entire building after the Second World War, a major renovation of the interior took place, which probably erased the last remnants of the Baroque interior. Due to space needs, plans for an extension on the site of the demolished wings began as early as the 1950s. Over the next twenty years, many architects designed a new extension, which was never built due to cultural protection requirements and financial constraints. In the thesis, the architectural plans are presented chronologically, and a contextual analysis based on the written documents contributes to the understanding of the architectural designs. The aim of the master thesis is thus to offer a comprehensive understanding of the building, including the realised and conceptual projects, which were conditioned by urban planning views on the intervention in older structures in the area of the Novi trg.
