Download or read book Dobrović in Dubrovnik written by Krunoslav Ivanišin and published by Jovis Verlag. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dobrović in Dubrovnik traces the past and the present of avant-garde modern architecture constructed in the nineteen- thirties, in the Mediterranean landscape of the south Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. Comprehensive historical, theoretical, and phenomenological readings of events and forms, in two essays by architects Krunoslav Ivanišin and Ljiljana Blagojević respectively, describe a specific yet, by its spirit, universal Venture in Modern Architecture. Spatially condensed to an area within ten square miles and temporally to less than ten years, these quintessentially modern villas, gardens, and hotels built seventy years ago by the architect Nikola Dobrović (1897-1967), are presented through previously unpublished original design drawings, black and white photographs from the period of their construction, and the contemporary color photographs by Wolfgang Thaler. The color plates depict precisely the beauty in decay of heroic works of international modern architecture and convey admirably their meaningful Mediterranean resilience.

Download or read book Continuity of Modernity: Fragments of Croatian Architecture from Modernism To 2010 written by Vera Grimmer and published by . This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Croatia is a magnificent land full of surprises. Visitors are amazed to discover a country with spectacular natural wonders, a great culinary tradition, excellent wine, architecture, a beautiful language, and a vibrant national culture. While it is a small country when measured in square miles, market size, or military power, it has a rich culture that has profoundly impacted the world. The contributors to Croatian Cultural Renaissance: From the Margins to the Crossroad of Europe were the protagonists who survived the communist period and then lived through the fraught period of the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s; they worked to understand, build, and preserve their cultural identity and freedom as Croatian people. They are diplomats, government officials, artists, and academics who are recognized within Croatia for their intellectual prowess and for their vital and noteworthy contributions to their country. While the chapters explore different areas of Croatia’s national culture, they are united in showing how the national identity and ethos have deep roots and provide insight in what it means to be Croatian today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert guide to the present-day cultural life of Croatia and how it has been influenced by the nation's tumultuous past. Culture and Customs of Croatia offers an expert insider's look at a Balkan nation which, for the first time since the 12th century, is free to draw on its own traditions to determine its political, philosophical, and cultural identity. Culture and Customs of Croatia provides a comprehensive overview of Croatian art and culture with an emphasis on the historical factors contributing to contemporary Croatian life. An in-depth exploration of the country's past lays the groundwork for a discussion of a number of current issues, including progress towards EU membership, the expanding role of the Catholic Church, preservation of the country's World Heritage Sites, the growing popularity of the nation's Adriatic coastline as a beach vacation destination, and the complex, still reverberating legacy of the former Yugoslavia.

Download or read book Islamic Architecture and Art in Croatia written by Zlatko Karac and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents almost unknown and extremely valuable Islamic heritage in Croatia, which was comprehensively researched and interpreted by the authors; the historical layer of Ottoman monuments from the 16th and 17th century and the layer of contemporary Islamic architecture of the 20th and 21st century. Reasons for relatively unexplored and unrecognised Islamic heritage in Croatia lie in systematic and radical devastation of Ottoman monuments back in the first years of the Christian Reconquista at the end of the 17th century and ideological and religious antagonisms in the past, which resulted with the eradication of the remaining material fragments and suppression of the fact that the large part of our territory belonged to the world of Islamic civilisation, culture and art for more than a century and a half. Croatian territory was the westernmost point of the Ottoman and Islamic heritage in Europe; space of parallel contact, sometimes even overlap of Islamic artistry with the west renaissance ?from the other side of the border?. This fact makes the topic internationally relevant and interesting in the European context and thus effort was put into a bilingual ? Croatian and English ? edition of the monograph. The book is the result of an almost ten-year-long research (terrain, archive, bibliography)0It gained international success soon after publishing; it won the Ranko Radovic Award for the best theoretical book on architecture and the city in 2018.

Download or read book A Peripheral Moment written by Ivan Rupnik and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary wave of architectural experimentation, innovation and overall spatial and formal quality decidedly marked the past decade of the Croatian architectural scene. A Peripheral Moment registers its decisive phenomena, presents outstanding practices, and introduces the most exciting examples, seeking to provide them with equally an exciting theoretical framework and foundation. The explanatory potentials of the book thereby rival the innovative effects of the presented architectures, acquiring broader, if not universal, methodological relevance. Faced with the ineffectuality of normative planning methods in conditions of political and economic instability, architects developed new agile and flexible modalities of architectural intervention. Many of these strategies engaged the hybrid conditions of the postcommunist city where socialist and capitalist urban and architectura formations coexist in a diffuse and flexible patchwork. But the opportunity grasped by Croatian architects in the aughts was not in securing commissions (they didn't actually build much) but by reconceptualizing practice and creating provisional institutions -most notably the UHA (Croatian Architecte Association) - that enabled experiment and innovation in practice, and created a forum for critical discourse. Most important, the architects whose work is presented in thie volume recognized that architectural agency consists in taking responsibility for the city. This, in many ways, is the significance that Croatia's peripheral moment holds for today. What became apparent in Croatia during the lest decade was the simultaneous existence of two parallel dimensions and the way in which the quick crossing over from a regime of state socialism to conditions of liberal democracy freed a powerful architectural energy that was transferred onto inherited forms, without erasing them. This book is a stimulating investigation of that turbulent period, testimony to an immense and particular act of "rewriting" a territory.

Book excerpt: This volume is the first scholarly study in the English language of Croatia's extraordinary artistic heritage. Leading specialists analyse the key cultural developments in this small country's history, from the extensive Roman remains on the Adriatic coast, through the gothic splendour of the Dalmatian cities in the Middle Ages and intensive artistic exchange with Italy during the Renaissance, to the grand houses and art collections of continental Croatia. The essays address iconic monuments like Diocletian's palace at Split and the walled city of Dubrovnik alongside more unfamiliar treasures, some never published before. This books sets Croatia's cultural past in context, reflecting the country's unique history at the crossroads between Italy, Central Europe and the Mediterranean. With contributions by leading British, American and Croatian writers and scholars, including John Julius Norwich, Timothy Clifford, Marcus Binney, Brian Sewell and Sheila McNally this book presents for the first time a portrait of the culture of this captivating and too little known country.
