Abstract
This paper analyses the concept behind the “House for Two” in Zagreb, by the architect Bogdan Budimirov, which he designed for himself and his wife. The couple moved into the house in 2014, after a full fifty years of planning “on paper,” and Budimirov continued adapting the building after he moved in. This article analyses the design of the house considering it in relation to developments in the field of architecture during a period that saw the change from modernism towards the contemporary. This text aims to contribute to the discussion on new architecture as future architectural heritage in the context of contemporary posthumanism, using the example of the ongoing life of the “House for Two,” where humanity, technology, and nature co-exist.
