Miho Klaić practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.
The record lists Miho Klaić as Croatian architect, politician (1829–1896).
Miho Klaić was born at Dubrovnik in 1829. His recorded nationality is Austrian Empire. He trained at University of Padua.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as politician and architect.
Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.
That the work was built in Austrian Empire shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Miho Klaić died in 1896, aged 67. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
