Publisher's Synopsis
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.
