The Croatian Architects' Association is a national organisation with the purpose of coordinating the professional interests of architects in the Republic of Croatia and establishing relations with other national and international professional organisations. The basis for the social architectural professional structure is work through regional, county and municipal associations of architects. The Association is a professional union of regional, county and municipal associations of architects. It was established in 1950.
The strategic cultural goals of the Croatian Architects' Association and its publishing activities are the valorisation of architecture, urbanism and pertaining disciplines, as well as of essential factors of social reality. These goals are reached through the print media and the organisation of symposia, lectures, exhibitions, roundtable discussions and the research of other methods of promotion and possibilities of mediation of architecture and urbanism, such as the project of the internet archives (a virtual encyclopaedia in the making) of Croatian architectural theory and practice.
Besides the primary goal to comply with the highest professional standards, the intention of the Croatian Architects' Association is to reach the public, in order to contribute to the raising of general culture of the Croatian area, and to promote the achievements of Croatian architecture on the global scene.
The Croatian Architects' Association strives towards becoming aware of and responding to the interests of all generations, attempting to reach them through the education of the youngest age groups, to promote young authors and new discourses, approve the already established valued practice, and, finally, evaluate and present masterpieces from the history of Croatian architecture with an emphasis on modernity.
