Abstract
Prof. Vrkljan’s architectural accomplishment presented in the paper is one of the most illustrative examples that contribute to the hypothesis that education buildings were in the interwar period one of the facilitators of urban development of Zagreb in its peripheral areas. With its public use, modern design, large scale and urban disposition of its parts, the building of the Grammar School for Women anticipated and predicated the urbanisation of the Zagreb
Quarter Trnje and Vukovar Street, which occurred after 1945.
