The exhibition “Continuity of the Avant-Garde- Fragments of Croatian Architecture from Modernism to 2009" will open in Amsterdam on Friday, September 18. It was put together in collaboration with the Croatian architecture magazine Oris, and will be on view this autumn at ARCAM.

The exhibition shows projects from three distinguished periods: the thirties, the fifties and sixties and the nineties up until 2009. The focus is on villas, housing blocks, schools, churches, monuments and infrastructure projects in cities such as Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik, with work by, among others, Frane Cota, Stjepan Planic, Nikola Dobrovic, Ivan Vitic, Kazimir Ostrogovic, Hrvoje Njiric and 3LHD.

The exhibition is accompanied by an English-language catalogue, with a foreword by Andrija Rusan, publisher and editor of Oris.

The Amsterdam edition of this travelling exhibition will also feature a symposium about Croatian Architecture in cooperation with Croatian architects who work in the Netherlands.

The exhibition will be open until November 7th 2009.
