Sažetak
The paper investigates the significance of Team 10 ideas, primarily those of Jacob Bakema, for the Croatian architectural scene, and locates their correspondence with the ongoing local architectural and urban discourse and development. Jacob Bakema got acquainted with the Croatian architectural scene in 1956, primarily through his contact with the young Croatian architect Radovan Nikšić, who worked in the Rotterdam office of Bakema and Van den Broek from January to July 1956. Bakema’s own first-hand encounter with the Croatian architectural context happened that same year, on the occasion of the tenth CIAM congress held in Dubrovnik in August 1956. From that moment onwards, Team 10 ideas considerably influenced the local modernist tradition. Bakema himself steered that interest to a great deal: in 1965 he proposed the plan for the urban center of New Zagreb which he personally presented in Zagreb. On that occasion he also delivered a series of lectures at the Zagreb Faculty of Architecture, presenting the production of his office and explicating contemporary Team 10 theories. His presence provoked enormous interest, so the discussion was organized with the local fellow professionals in the Zagreb Society of Architects. The discussion was subsequently published in the architectural journal Čovjek i prostor under the title “Bakema in Zagreb”. The other seminal Croatian journal, Arhitektura, issued a thematic edition dedicated to Bakema, titled “Architecture as the Instrument in the Process of Human Identification”, stressing his leading motto and ideas. The paper traces the echoes and significance of these ideas for the local modernist tradition.
