His most notable creations feature prominently in Ljubljana, among them Republic Square, Cankar Hall, Maximarket department store, and the Museum of Modern Art.

Edvard Ravnikar remained true to his professional values, although he wrote under many pen names due to the unfavorable political climate.

Immediately after World War II, he became a professor at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Six years later he was awarded the Prešeren Prize, the highest honor for artistic accomplishments in Slovenia, his first of two.

In 1984, he was presented with The Borba newspaper award for the building of the Ivan Cankar Cultural Centre (Cankarjev Dom) in Ljubljana.
