Viktor Kovačić

Viktor Kovačić

. Actually, the modern Croatian architecture appeared with Viktor Kovačić who was the first to speak against historicism and represented the idea that architecture must be individual and modern, but also practical and comfortable. His projects are marked with subtle purity of reduced elements of historicism, like in monumental Palace of Burze (HNB) in Zagreb, 1924.

From the thirties the works of “Zagreb school of architecture" can stand alongside with the best world architecture. They are especially interesting because of merging of two opposite directions in architecture of those days – functionalist and organic.

After the World War II the Life Achievement Award for architects in Croatia was named "Viktor Kovačić".
