Abstract

The architect Dragica (Daša) Crnković Očko was in Africa on two occasions between 1958 and 1974 working in Ethiopia, Zambia, Swaziland and Sierra Leone. This article presents her work in Africa within the context of other Croatian architects who used to work in the Third World countries. It aims to address the question of a transfer of values that is immanent in the Croatian Modernist architectural tradition as well as the influence of the immediate surroundings on the aspects of design approach.
