El italiano Adrián Giombini Montanari vivió en México desde c. 1904 hasta 1967. Desarrolló una importante actividad profesional como arquitecto; fungió como profesor en la Escuela Nacional de ...Ingeniería de la UNAM y publicó varios libros especializados. Su trabajo docente repercutió en la formación de nuevos ingenieros mexicanos que enriquecieron su pensamiento con la visión del arquitecto, uniendo así dos especialidades que se benefician mutuamente. Su obra arquitectónica ha sido escasamente estudiada y desconocemos algún trabajo publicado acerca de su labor docente y de su obra escrita. La intención de estos párrafos es rescatar y valorar el papel de Giombini Montanari en la preparación de nuevos cuadros de ingenieros mexicanos, así como el impacto de las obras que publicó.
In his work the architect Ljubomir Micevic specifically focuses on domestic architecture of single-family houses and smaller apartment buildings (colloquially called urban villas). On the one hand ...the structures of a linear plan are rooted in the traditional vernacular typology while on the other the smaller apartment building type is varied with almost square-shaped plans. His long-standing preoccupation with modernization processes in terms of advanced technological solutions of ecological and energy-efficient architecture has resulted in a research-based architecture as an interface between architecture and energy industry that is realized within the available financial restraints. Fruitful collaboration between the scientific institutions and building industry has resulted in the first Croatian ECO_SANDWICH house with three apartments in Koprivnica. Since 1975 Ljubomir Micevic has been tireless and persistent promoter of ecological and energy-efficient sustainable architecture presented on a regular annual exhibition called "Days of the passive house in Croatia".
