He moved to Zagreb just before World War II. In 1945, he began his studies at the Architecture Department of Zagreb's Faculty of Engineering. The turbulent years of the war sped Begovi\u0107's emotional, political, and intellectual maturity, which resulted in his studious, ambitious approach to architecture. Young Begovi\u0107 was noticed early on by Mladen Kauzlari\u0107, who introduced him to the world of architecture that was being created by the architects and social norms of the region at the time. Elegant, refined, dressed in impeccably tailored suits, he quickly made a place for himself on the architectural and social scene; through his work at the faculty, he eventually surrounded himself with a group of architects who collaborated with him on his projects. His commitment to an inherently time-consuming scientific approach, his tendency to change his mind, and his stubborn insistence on getting the most out of project tasks in a given moment made him a difficult man to work with.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55a07f0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"55a07f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a52efc3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-hub_fancy_heading\" data-id=\"a52efc3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"hub_fancy_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"ld-fancy-heading-69f2d5faa88d1\" class=\"ld-fancy-heading pos-rel\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"ld-fh-element d-inline-block pos-rel  lqd-highlight-classic lqd-highlight-grow-left p\"  > Changes to projects were often only halted by a colleague remarking\u2014\"It's been finalized, Professor, it can't be changed anymore!\"\u2014which, with a puff on the pipe he always had on hand, he would accept before moving on. During his almost fifty years on the architectural scene, he established himself as an excellent teacher and a dedicated advocate for implementing novelties into the existing context, without pandering to either professionals or the public. In 1980, he was awarded the title of doctor of technical sciences and appointed a full professor. In addition to his architectural projects, he also left an equally notable mark on the work of all of his students, who\u2014in the dim light of his lecture hall on the third floor\u2014watched slides and absorbed his words, attitudes, and relationship towards life and architecture.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4cf75b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d4cf75b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48bd0ae e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"48bd0ae\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c98bf9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4c98bf9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/M.Begovic_rani-portret_Zagreb-1952.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9246\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/M.Begovic_rani-portret_Zagreb-1952.jpg 770w, https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/M.Begovic_rani-portret_Zagreb-1952-231x300.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Early portrait: Miroslav Begovi\u0107, Zagreb, 1950s<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b32d368 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b32d368\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e62cf6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e62cf6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1998\" height=\"1000\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039; viewBox%3D&#039;0 0 1998 1000&#039;%2F%3E\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9247 ld-lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Paviljon-s-potpisom.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Paviljon-s-potpisom.jpg 1998w, https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Paviljon-s-potpisom-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Paviljon-s-potpisom-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/begovic.hazu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Paviljon-s-potpisom-1536x769.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1998px) 100vw, 1998px\" data-aspect=\"1.998\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Miroslav Begovi\u0107.
