Ivan Vitić

This monographic issue examines the life, work and architectural legacy of Ivan Vitić, one of the most important Croatian architects of the post-war high-modernist period. Vitić’s practice is presented through biographical material, critical essays and documentation of selected projects, offering insight into the formal invention, structural clarity and social ambitions of his architecture.

The book discusses significant works associated with Vitić, including the Pionirski grad in Zagreb, the Laginjina residential complex, the Kockica building, Exhibition Pavilion 40 at the Zagreb Fair, and cultural and residential projects on the Adriatic coast. Intended for architects, students, researchers and readers interested in Croatian modern architecture, it places Vitić’s work within the architectural and cultural context of socialist Yugoslavia.
