Thrilling Encounters. Croatian Modernist Architects Meet Third World Contexts

The work outlines the range of activities undertaken by Croatian architects and urban planners in the ‘Third World’ countries after WWII. It primarily focuses on the work of the Croatian architect Vjenceslav Richter, and analyzes Richter's and Zdravko Bregovac's competition entry for the Archaeological Museum in Aleppo, Syria, from 1956. The paper also tries to trace some general insight into the design reactions of Croatian modernist architects in radically new contexts. What were the main design features of their creative reactions? How did they approach such specific different social, cultural, topographical, climactic environments? On which design tool did they rely? What were their principal design strategies? How did they adjust their creative and stylistic reactions? And were there some general, common characteristics of Croatian architects’ creative responses in such challenging encounters?
