Abstract

Viktor Kovačić smatra se prvim modernim hrvatskim arhitektom te je bio jednim od glavnih predstavnika nove generacije zagrebačkih arhitekata na samom početku dvadesetog stoljeća. On je autor nekih od najvažnijih građevina u Zagrebu koje su kreirale današnju vizuru grada. Fokus ovoga rada su Kovačićeve obiteljske zgrade nastale u njegovom najplodnijem periodu zajedničkog rada s arhitektom Hugom Ehrlichom (1910.-1915.). Prije analize zgrada te njihovog današnjeg stanja bilo je nužno spomenuti... More kulturni kontekst u kojem je Kovačić stasao kao arhitekt te brojne utjecaje koji su obilježili njegovo stvaralaštvo. Kovačić je projektant brojnih obiteljskih zgrada u samome centru Zagreba, ali i na obroncima Medvednice te je upravo u tim projektima razvijao ideje engleskih pokreta Arts & Crafts i Domestic Revival te ideje Adolfa Loosa i drugih, prilagođavajući ih investitorima i podneblju. Kovačić je svoje stambene građevine projektirao na izrazito racionalan i funkcionalan način s ciljem poboljšanja kvalitete života stanara, ali i uljepšavanja okoline. Bio je vrsni projektant stambenih građevina te se ovaj rad koncentrira na njegove vile Frangeš, Vrbanić i Čepulić te njihovu zaštitu, uz spomen drugih njegovih obiteljskih ostvarenja i njihovih različitih situacija danas.

Abstract (english)

Viktor Kovačić is considered to be Croatia’s first modern architect who was a part of a new generation of young architects at the beginning of the twentieth century. He created some of the most emblematic buildings which shaped today’s Zagreb. The focus of this piece of writing is Kovačić’s residential architecture and his buildings he designed during his most productive working period when he collaborated with his colleague, architect Hugo Ehrlich (1910 - 1915). Before analyzing his... More family homes and the state they’re in today it is important to mention the cultural context and various influences which shaped Kovačić’s work. He was largely influenced by the English Arts & Crafts and Domestic Revival movements as well as Adolf Loos’s and many others’ ideas. He further developed these ideas in his family homes in Zagreb’s city center and its northern region, adapting them to the investors and the environment. Kovačić designed his houses in a very rational and functional way with which he ensured a better quality of life for the owners while also making the surrounding environment more picturesque and beautiful. He was an extremely talented architect and designer of family homes and this work is focused on his homes for the Frangeš, Vrbanić and Čepulić families, with the addition of some honorable mentions and their conditions today.
