Abstract
The Strmac-Šumetlica Children’s Tuberculosis Sanatorium was built in 1928-56 on the south slopes of Psunj Mountain, north of Nova Gradiška. During longstanding construction stages of the complex, Zoja Dumengjić, Selimir Dumengjić and Ivo Geršić showed their respective architectural signatures in creating a functionally conceived and architecturally recognizable structure. The paper presents in detail the complex which has so far remained unknown to professionals and analyzes it in relation to its medicinal and curative aspects, contemporary architectural events, wider social importance and formal contribution of its architects. It also examines its reconstruction and conversion potentials.
