Made possible through the support of SCohen Steel & Style, Hrvoje Njiric + Arhitekti is presenting a lecture on Affordable Utopias at the Zezeze Architecture Gallery on November 7th.
Hrvoje Njiric is one of the most prominent architects to come out of Croatia and the Balkan area in the past two decade. Mr. Njiric gained acknowledgement in the 90′s with projects developed by the former njiric+njiric partnership, including schemes for Europan (3 first prizes) and Slovenian projects for Baumaxx and McDonald’s which were widely published and awarded. In 2001, Njiric+ was founded and continues the work of the former office. More information on the event after the break.
njiric+ regards architecture to be much more than a physical definition of its boundaries or a formal assemblage of building materials. It’s non-physical aspects are about phenomena of contemporary society and mass culture. Urban studies were undertaken extensively throughout the 90′s and significantly less in the last decade, due to the collapse of public realm in Croatia. The exemplary nature of the projects is derived from the necessity to tackle different issues and to push them to the limits.
