Neda Mrinjek Kliska

Abstract

The book ”13 talks on architecture” is a collection of interviews conducted between October 1978 and January 1982 between the architect Davor Salopek and his colleagues: the architects Stjepan Planić, Igor Emili, Zdenko Kolacio, Juraj Neidhardt, Neven Šegvić, Radovan Horvat, Božidar Rašica, Sena Sekulić-Gvozdanović, Branko Hrs, Damir Perinić, Boris Magaš, Vojtjeh Delfin, and the civil engineer Boris Bakrać. The common thread of all the interviews is a set of identical questions ranging from very personal ones to those related to the design process itself or those that address some very complex issues such as: the artistic component of architecture, the relationship between theory and practice, architecture and urbanism, the role of the architect in the society, the role of the user in program development, the relationship between investment and quality, creativity and engineering in education, localism and regionalism in architecture. However, each talk is quite specific and unique since the personality of each individual is gradually revealed through Salopek’s individual and sophisticated approach. The author received the ”Neven Šegvić” award for his publishing work and criticism.
