Zrinka Barišić Marenić
Abstract
The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Zagreb is an integral complex of buildings entirely designed by the architect Zvonimir Vrkljan between 1935 and 1962. The architect conceived his project on the basis of an analysis of the Faculty’s main activities: teaching, science and research and clinical work. Therefore he devised a pavilion-like complex with harmoniously- balanced atria. The original complex, which has remained an important component of the south-eastern urban fabric today, bears witness to the overall elaboration of its design down to the smallest details.
