Gustav Bohutinsky (b. 1906 in Križevci – d. 1987 in Honolulu, Hawaii) was the only Croatian student of architecture at Bauhaus in Dessau. He completed his studies of architecture in Zagreb, in Ibler’s class at the Academy of Fine Arts (1926-1931), where he belonged to the first generation of students. He studied at Bauhaus during the summer semester of 1930, when the school was passing through a particularly turbulent period under the headship of radical Swiss architect Hannes Meyer and its lecturers included the famous German architect and urban planner Ludwig Hilberseimer. Having completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1931, Bohutinsky occupied various positions and workplaces related to architecture until he left for the USA in 1949, where he continued his career as architect.

The concept of Bauhaus, in its various aspects and manifestations, crucially defined the opus of architect Gustav Bohutinsky. It is evident in many of his designs, from the early projects of apartment buildings in Zagreb during the interwar period to his collaborations on a variety of impressively pure and infrastructurally functional objects, such as thermal power stations and transformer stations that he designed after 1945 together with Professor Juraj Denzler. However, the most clearly recognizable element of the Bauhaus aestheticism was his capital project – an atelier designed for his brother, sculptor Emil Bohutinsky, built in 1945 at Jadranska no. 11, in the western part of Zagreb.
