Zaradi boljšega razumevanja teme je na začetku predstavljeno obdobje historizma in pojasnitev pojma arhitekturna plastika. Sledi predstavitev desetih izbranih historističnih zgradb in opis kiparskih del, ki se pojavljajo na fasadah teh zgradb: Slovensko narodno gledališče Maribor (1864), Pošta Maribor (1894), Prva gimnazija Maribor (1871─1873), Srednja šola za gostinstvo in turizem Maribor (1913/14─1916), OŠ bratov Polančičev Maribor (1895), OŠ Prežihovega Voranca Maribor (1905), gospodarsko stanovanjsko poslopje (1896) na Partizanski c. 77, večstanovanjska hiša (1899) na vogalu Aškerčeve ul. 2 in Ul. Heroja Staneta 18, Friedrigerjeva vila oz. vila Transilvanija (1910) na Mladinski ul. 45 (1927) ter stanovanjska vila na Kosarjevi ul. 41. Diplomsko delo se osredotoča na prepoznavanje in interpretacijo kipov in motivov, upodobljenih na reliefih, ter na povezovanje teh kiparskih del z vlogo oz. funkcijo posamezne stavbe ali njenim naročnikom. Nadalje ugotavlja stanje raziskav in primerja mariborsko historistično arhitekturno plastiko z ostalimi po Sloveniji. Dotika se tudi vprašanja avtorjev in izvajalcev kiparskih del ter morebitnih vzorov.
