The objective of the course "Contemporary Regional Architecture - Hiper Croatia" is to sensitize and raise awareness of students and general public about environment, cultural landscape along
with accomplishing integral sustainability. Special attention is paid to the idea of revitalisation of local identities preceded by the evaluation of the community throuh h value pairs of the global and local, of culture and nature.
