Bernardo Bernardi; The Design Work of an Architect 1951-1985; Iva Ceraj
Mia Roth-Čerina
Abstract
The scientific monograph covering the most significant work of architect Bernardo Bernardi, the pioneer of Croatian design, is based on the doctoral dissertation and curatorial work of Iva Ceraj within the Croatian Museum od Architecture. It follows the didactic, theoretical, architectural and, foremost, design ouvre of the most prominent Croatian industrial designer of the 20th century. The book sheds light on a previously unpublished selection of drawings and photographs, offering new insights into the surprising parallels with, and the creative influences of Scandinavian organic modernism, indicating Bernardi’s strong affiliation to the democratic ideas of Scandinavian design. A lifelong promotor of humanizing the physical environment, Bernardi can be credited with establishing the design profession in the Croatian context as well as initiating the establishment of the School of Design in Zagreb.
