Author Description

This publication is primarily a chronicle or panorama of architectural evaluations, explained by the protagonists and chosen by the architectural community to work on 'architectural expertise'. Even the very beginning of this chronology - the year 1990 - was chosen unpretentiously. That year coincides with the founding of the independent Croatia, but not even this was either crucial or the only factor involved in decisions on the time frame. No, the thinking was that a 20-year period is suitable for compiling a panoramic view, with no pretense of finding some turning point in architecture, which would hardly be possible anyway with no historiographic analysis to speak of. Still, over the last 20 years the changes have been substantial, quick, and even dramatic, not only in terms of local socio-political, but also in terms of global transformations.
