Since it was founded in 2001, the work of the Croatian studio njiric+ arhitekti, led by Hrvoje Njiric, has acted as a catalyst for Croatian architecture, as well as leading research into new types of public projects and housing. This issue of 2G presents 17 works and projects at different scales developed mostly in Croatia. The selection includes everything from proposals for apartments and new typologies for kindergartens and primary schools, to university buildings, a library in Rijeka, a stadium in Zagreb, a hotel on the Dalmatian coast, a site for gypsies, and a temporary pavilion in Zagreb. The selection of works is preceded by two introductory texts written by Stephen Bates (from the British studio Sergison Bates) and Yoshiharu Tsukamoto (from the Japanese studio Atelier Bow-Wow). The nexus section includes 'Focus', a series of reflections by Hrvoje Njiric on the problems and challenges of contemporary architectural practice, followed by a fascinating discussion between Njiric and architect Juan Herreros of Madrid.
