Modern and Contemporary Islamic Architecture in Croatia

Alen Žunić

Abstract

The research resulted in a list and rough evaluation of all designed and built Islamic religious buildings created in Croatia during the 20th and 21st centuries. The evaluation led to the conclusion that the buildings belong to the so far unknown part of Croatian architecture that has been created since the interwar modernism. The buildings have also been designed and furnished by relevant architects and artists like Stjepan Planić, Zvonimir Požgaj, Omer Mujadžić, Juraj Najdhart, Džemal Čelić, Mirza Gološ, Dušan Džamonja and others. Equally important is also the fact that architectural design competitions have recurrently been held for the complexes of Islamic centres and mosques (Zagreb, Rijeka).
