Abstract

Construction of residential buildings in Ilica Street from the Infantry Barracks (since 1918 the Zrinjski Barracks) to the Črnomerec stream intensified between the two world wars It was a period without general urban regulation in force: the Regulatory Plan of the City of Zagreb would only be adopted in 1938–1940. In the 1920s, Art Deco and proto-modernist style buildings were added to Ilica by infilling gaps, and modernism emerged from the beginning of the 1930s. All barracks were in operation: six in the western part of the city (three of which in Ilica; all of them were renamed in 1918). To the west of the Cavalry (then "Duke Mišić") Barracks, which was adapted for a cotton factory in 1924, "Kaštel JSC" (from 1946 to the present PLIVA) operated from 1928 and expanded its area on several occasions. In Ilica, the Zagreb Brewery was being expanded, but there were no new industries, so the street remained an attractive residential area for the construction of residential buildings. Of the unrealized residential building projects in Ilica, the still unknown project by Drago Ibler from 1928/1929 is one of the most intriguing.
