Abstract

Aleksandar Dragomanović produced a respectable oeuvre of approximately a hundred works of architecture of which his educational buildings (designed mostly in collaboration with R. Nikšić and E. Šmidihen) are generally regarded as fine examples of this typology. Between 1953 and 1977 he designed 15 kindergartens, schools, high schools and higher education buildings mostly in Zagreb and its surroundings with a few examples elsewhere in Croatia and former Yugoslavia. The examples of this typology are based on standardized modular concepts while their design shows inclinations towards structuralism and brutalism.
