Architect
Igor Emili, a Croatian architect, was born on August 9, 1927, in Sušak, and passed away on October 25, 1987, in Rijeka. He started his career in 1955 at the Urban Institute for Istria and the Croatian Coast in Rijeka under the guidance of architect Zdenko Kolacio. Later, he moved to the Rijeka Civil Project Institute and worked on various urban plans and reconstruction projects. Among his notable achievements were the design and construction of the Trsat Castle and the memorial area for the villagers of Podhum who were killed during World War II. Emili founded the Studio for Architecture and Urbanism a-051 in 1972 and worked on several projects, including the Hotel Villa Lostura and the Fisherman's Hut Valentin in Klenovica. In 1976, he retired and continued to work independently, completing projects like the Varteks department store and the renovation of the Zagreb Museum area. Unfortunately, due to a serious illness, he couldn't correct some mistakes in the latter project. Emili passed away in 1987 and was posthumously awarded the City of Rijeka Lifetime Achievement Award in 1988. In addition to architecture, Emili was also successful in watercolor painting and photography, and his works were featured in the exhibition and catalog "Croatian Photography from Nineteen Fifty to the Present Day" in 1993.
