Contribution to Research of Modern Architecture in Croatia (1969-1989)

In the period 1969-1989 there is a growing number of female architects within professions and among students and graduates of architecture. At the beginning of their professional career, women are designing in co- authorship with their male colleagues, and gradually they are getting independent. At Faculty of Architecture, University of Croatia, besides their primar role in education, architects Hildegard Auf-Franić and Ines Filipović are designing public buildings, Ljiljana Šepić is affirming the discipline of Industrial Archaeology, and prof. Sena Sekulić Gvozdanović was the first female dean of the institution. Among students, the percentage of female students is gradually increasing. Running her own private practice, architect Branka Kaminski was specialized in free-hand drawing of perspectives for various architects inside and outside of Croatia. At the end of the period, before the declaration of independence of Croatia (1991) and at the end of the socialist period, significant female architects, Helena Paver Njirić and Zoka Zola, are presenting new generations of contemporary Croatian architecture who played important roles at international scene as well. Thus, the period 1969-1989 presents late-modern architecture achievement at Croatian scene with more significant role of female architects, whose impact is becoming more significant within contemporary Croatian architecture.
