The monograph was designed for the Graphics Department of HAZU by the Zagreb design studio Sensus Design Factory, under the leadership of Kristina and Nedjeljko Špoljar.
The book of impressive dimensions and scope, edited by Slavica Marković and signed by a group of authors: Zlatko Karač, Alen Žunić, Iva Körbler, Hela Vukadin-Doronjga, Toni Bešlić, on as many as 536 pages presents the architectural, urban and scientific opus of the prominent Croatian academician Branko Kincl. Along with the texts of five eminent authors covering the life, activities and the most important projects of this academician’s fifty year career – from urban plans, residential buildings, housing systems, through large scale industrial architecture, sports architecture to airports – the monograph includes capital projects and achievements, such as the TDR factory in Kanfanar, the project of the new Maksimir stadium and the most expressive, monumental project of the airport in Zagreb.
Within one year of its publication, the monograph received a slew of awards for design. The monograph was featured on several important foreign web portals and publications dedicated to design and architecture, it was listed at both Croatian graphic design exhibitions this year (Croatian Design Exhibition 1617, and ZGRAF12 exhibition) as well as the exhibition of Best Designed Books and Book Art International as part of book fairs in Leipzig and Frankfurt. It was also included in the permanent collection of the Deutsches Buch- und Schriftmuseum. The monograph also won three awards that are regarded as reference within the world design scene: the Award of Excellence from the Communication Arts magazine, the golden prize of GRAPHIS Design Annual 2018 and the STA100 award which The Society of Typographic Arts Chicago awards to the best-rated international design projects in the current year.
These awards are the latest in a series of twenty awards that Sensus Design Factory won at the most prestigious world design competitions for projects done for clients such as Gallery Klovićevi Dvori, Pliva, HAZU Graphics Department, Croatian Design Society and many others.
