Abstract

The International Congress of Modern Architecture
(CIAM), operating from 1928 to 1959, was a leading forum on
architecture and urbanism committed to solving global issues, the
housing crisis and the problems of modern cities. Due to CIAM’s
and subsequently Team X’s significance for the local Croatian as
well as Yugoslav history of architecture and urbanism, this paper
attempts to reconstruct and analyse personal networks of two
CIAM’s main actors from Croatia in the 1950s – the architects
Drago Ibler (1894–1964) and Radovan Nikšić (1920–1987) – by
using methods of classic historiography and network analysis.
This paper also provides the first comprehensive insight into the
work of Croatian architects within CIAM in the second half of
the 1950s – the period that coincides with the last Tenth Congress
which was held, by concatenation of circumstances, in Dubrovnik
in 1956 and the dissolution of CIAM in Otterlo in 1959.
