Croatian Modern Architecture
Abstract
From the nineteenth century onwards, Croatian architecture was systematically presented at Parisian world exhibitions, mainly in the Pavilion of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Subsequently to the monarchy's breakdown in 1918, two new Slavic countries emerged in Central Europe: Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. In both of these countries, a new expression of modern architecture was recognized as the language of the new era and social order.
