The architect Zoja Dumengjić realised her comprehensive professional work during the mid- fifties of the twentieth century.

The architect's work represents the specific author's contribution within the body of modern Croatian architecture, and the particularity of her work can be recognized in several fundamental components. The most prominent contribution of the architect Dumengjić had undoubtedly been in the area of public health service architecture during the fifties in the twentieth century.
