Bruno Juričić (born in 1977) is a Croatian architect. He represented Croatia at 2018 Venice Biennale. In 2018, Juričić won a €100 million tender for the Xia Ke complex in Haining, China, becoming the first Croatian in history to win an international tender of this size with his own project.

Biography

[edit]

Juričić was born in 1977 in Pula, Croatia.[1] He has a master's degree in urban planning.[2] Juričić graduated from the Iuav University of Venice, and got his MSc with excellence from the University of Applied Arts of Vienna.[3][4][5]

He represented Croatia at the 2018 Venice Biennale, presenting Croatia's “Cloud Pergola / The Architecture of Hospitality”, which at the time was said to be one of the world's largest and most complex 3D-fabricated structures.[6][7][8][9]

In 2018 he became the author of a €100 million leisure complex in Haining, China. The entire complex covers 200,000 m2, and the hotel complex about 35,000 m2, with a cultural center dedicated to Haining native writer Jin Yong. Yong inspired the construction of the complex, which is informed by wuxia.[10] Xia Ke means "ode to gallantry" in Chinese, and is the title of one of Yang's most famous works, a "much-filmed martial arts epic" that bears some resemblance to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.[11] Juričić is the first Croatian architect to win a tender of these proportions with his own project.[12][11]

He currently lives between Pula and Shanghai.[2]
