Marko Dabrović, partner at Studio 3LHD, took part in the panel discussion “Flexibility and Resilience – The Future of Construction”, held on June 6 at the Westin Hotel in Zagreb as part of the first construction conference organized by Lider, titled “Building the Future.”
The conference brought together experts, entrepreneurs, and institutional representatives to jointly address key challenges and opportunities in the construction sector – ranging from infrastructure development and the use of sustainable materials to certification issues and the shortage of skilled labor.
Alongside Dabrović, the panel featured Hrvoje Krapanić (Green Building Council Croatia) and Neven Mikec (VMD), with Antonija Knežević from Lider moderating the discussion. The panel focused on the importance of sustainable construction approaches, strengthening spatial resilience, and developing affordable housing models, with an emphasis on the practical challenges of implementing green building practices.
Dabrović emphasized that a responsible architectural approach must simultaneously ensure high-quality living conditions and environmental preservation. He particularly highlighted the need for more precise and incentive-based regulatory mechanisms that would enable a more systematic regeneration of abandoned urban areas (brownfields), positioning them as a potentially crucial tool for sustainable urban development.
