Continuity of the Avant-garde

Fragments of Croatian Architecture from Modernism to 2007

Adolf Stiller, Vera Grimmer, Tadej Glažar, Maroje Mrduljaš, Andrija Rusan

This is an English edition of the catalogue which was first printed for the exhibition "Avant-garde & Continuity" (Vienna, 2007). The book presents architectural projects in Croatia which can be divided into three effective periods, with distinct styles and conditions. Social and political circumstances had a huge impact on the projects: the 1930s presented Croatian independent production, while the 1950s and 1960s were much influenced by the communist government. Currently, Croatia is undergoing a kind of reorientation, which is an inevitable consequence of the Balkan wars during the 1990s. The book highlights the most important projects from these three periods.
