Abstract

The new passenger terminal at Franjo Tuđman International Airport in Zagreb, the work of architects Branko Kincl and Velimir Neidhardt and civil engineer Jure Radić, is one of the greatest creations of modern architecture in Croatia. Located on the outskirts of the city, it represents the unified focal point of the urban efficiency of Zagreb’s metropolitan area and a new basis for the urbanisation of the city of Velika Gorica with a potential for strong symbolism and a strong economic effect on Zagreb’s urban area, the nation at large, and the greater region.

Keywords
