Rijeka - Sušak neboder

Bulevard | Ul. Strossmayerova

Within the Croatian Cultural Center complex, a 14 floor-high skyscraper covered on all sides by glass was designed. This was a revolutionary idea in Europe. The start of construction work was delayed for so long that the disappointed architect Pičman took his own life. The building was completed based on a solution by Alfred Albini. If it had been built according to the Pičman project, the Sušak skyscraper would have been the first glass tower in Europe.
