Abstract

The exceptional oeuvre of the architect Boris Magaš has never been systematically exhibited nor presented in any comprehensive monograph. However, the book that has been published recently testifies to the original intention of its authors Ariana Štulhofer and Hrvoje Vukić: to write the first complete publication dedicated to the most memorable segment of Magaš’s architecture. They presented 13 major projects in the area of sports architecture in chronological sequence. Magaš’s favourite theme was obviously the architecture of the stadia ranging from his world­famous seminal project in Split to his unbuilt projects in Zagreb, Rijeka and Dubrovnik (along with just one swimming pool). Special emphasis is given to Poljud Stadium with an in­depth and systematic analysis of the events surrounding
this project that ranks as Magaš’s most impressive achievement in the area of his sports realizations. Parts of the book are dedicated to a contextual and critical evaluation of Magaš’s oeuvre showing a line
of major influences with special reference to his professor and mentor Vladimir Turina.
