Church of St. Blaise is the work that enthroned Viktor Kova\u010di\u0107 on the throne of Croatian architecture. The floor plan of the church is a Greek cross, over the intersection of which rises a reinforced concrete dome. It is a pioneering application of reinforced concrete in the performance of load-bearing structures, but also in the performance of a thin membrane dome, which, according to research, is among the earliest reinforced concrete domes in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
