Republic Square

As a student of the third year of the Faculty of Architecture, I participated in the Yugoslav anonymous architectural competition for the arrangement of the Republic Square of Zagreb winning on that occasion one of the two equal second prizes, while the first prize was not awarded. The competition was highly attractive and this was the reason why the best architects of Yugoslavia took part in it, supported by their design bureaus. My victory was, therefore, a great sensation. Finally, the Square was arranged according to the other second prize winners who were the reputed Zagreb architects. It is fair to say that they arranged it well, however, it would have looked nicer if I had been included in its designing.
