REDEFINING THE POSITION: ARCHITECT'S ROLE IN THE SOCIETY OF SOCIALIST CROATIA IN THE CONTEXT OF STATE HOUSING STRATEGIES 1955-1965
Abstract
This paper examines the role of architects in the society of socialist Croatia between 1955 and 1965, a time marked by a major housing shortage, when the demands of the society represented within the new state housing strategies often meant that the architects had to abandon certain autonomous tools and values of their profession. In that particular period, the dictate of implementing rationalization principles into housing construction dictated architectural discourse to change, and its social position to redefine. This paper analyses two different views on the role of the architect based on the work of two prominent Croatian architects, Vuko Bombardelli and Lovro Perkovic. The shift in the architectural discourse is explained by analyzing writings of Bombardelli and Perkovic, as well as by examining their practice in the context of social housing strategies.
