Le Corbusier and Drago Galić − Critical Experiments

Vedran Ivanković

Abstract

The author of the article compares the apartment building Unité d’Habitation in Marseille and the apartment buildings in 35-35a and 43-43a Vukovar Street in Zagreb. They were both created by two architects with similar worldviews in approximately the same period and similar political circumstances. The author gives critical comments on the past analyses and points out the difference in the concept of the relevant buildings, the difference in their construction, apartment floor plans, formal details and urban context. The article also compares Le Corbusier’s and Drago Galić’s architectural methods and stresses the difference in their personal approach to specific architectural and urban planning issues.
