Drago Ibler (14 August 1894–6 September 1964) was a Croatian architect and pedagogue. His style can be described as both pure simplicity and functional architecture. * Ibler was born in Zagreb. * He earned his diploma in architecture at the Technische Hochschule in Dresden, Germany. * He joined Le Corbusier and L'Esprit Nouveau in Paris in 1921. * He continued his studies at the Staats Musikakademie in Berlin from 1922 to 1923, which inspired his work in the 1920s. * He founded the so-called "Zagreb school of architecture" with fellow architects Drago Galic, Mladen Kauzlaric, Stjepan Planic, and others between 1925 and 1935. Drago Ibler was a strong promoter of modern architecture as well as aesthetics, and he founded the Earth Group (Croatian: Grupa Zemlja), a group of left-oriented progressive artists. * He was also a member of CIAM. Ibler's 1920s and 1930s architecture competitions saw poor results due to the conservative climate and resistance to his progressive ideals. * On the island of Korcula and Zagreb, many industrial buildings, the District Labour Insurance Building in Mostar (built in 1930, today an ambulatory care center), and a dynamic balance between the low office building and the high number of the residential portion and stairsways were constructed in this period. He designed the District Labour Insurance Building in Skopje (1932), which was important for Yugoslav architecture because it adopted Le Corbusier's ideas, including ribbon windows. Drago Ibler, a 1926 graduate of the Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts, became a professor, where he taught architecture until 1941. * Since that, he migrated to Switzerland and joined the University of Geneva as a lecturer in architecture. He returned to Zagreb, where he directed a Master Studio in architecture after World War II in 1950, returning to study at the Academy of Fine Arts. * He ceased to be a rigid functionalist and promoted architecture's humanization by means of new decorative, sculptural, and harmonious arrangements. An example of this are his plans for the New Opera House in Belgrade (1948), which were unrealized. * He made excellent plans for the New Yugoslav Embassy in Moscow (1959; unrealized), as well as New Tito's Residence in Zagreb (1961-2004; unrealized). * In Marticeva, Smiciklasova, and Vlaska Streets, he constructed several residential blocks in Zagreb's downtown district, which are characterized by simplicity and effective planning. Ibler was killed in a car accident near Novo Mesto, Slovenia, at the age of 70.
