VITIĆ – THE ARCHITECT OF ANTROPHOCENTRIC VISIONARY

His
most important buildings Youth
city
in Zagreb (1949), Pavilion
40
at the Zagreb Fair (1957), National
Bank Residential block
in Zagreb (1962), Communal
and political organizations building
in Zagreb (1968), the Military
Cultural centers
in Šibenik (1960) Komiža (1961) and Split (1962) present
the zenith
of his autoreferential and innovative style that reveals his superior
three-dimensional control, the exemplary clarity of volumetric
composition, supreme layout of the solution, exceptional engineering,
and constructive ability of innovation. Vitić' individualistic
approach towards the context has added a new value to the space by
interpreting the existing values of place and landscape in a most
sensitive way. Furthermore, he has always emphasized the
representation of social and communal life by creating the
architecture that overcomes basic functional requirements, and
reflects socially sensitive and progressive society.

Vitic'
architectural style encompasses multiple layers, from contextual,
social, formal and aesthetic, morphological, to traditional and
cultural, thus creating an outstanding
legacy
of Croatian post-war architectural identity.
