Biography
Detail from the building of the Croatian State Archives, designed by Lubinski.

Lubinski was born in Zagreb to a Croatian Jewish family Lubinski - Lövy.[1][2][3][4] He studied at the Technische Hochschule university in Karlsruhe. After his education Lubinski worked in the architectural studio of Josef Durm, participating in the city projects of Offenburg, Cologne, Karlsruhe and Freiburg. Lubinski has participated in developing the project for the Heidelberg University Library, which came as a particularly good experience gained in the later work in Zagreb.

In 1907 Lubinski created his own studio in Zagreb. He has designed numerous residential houses in Nazorova, Petrinjska and Masarykova street. Some of Lubinski major projects are, the Lutheran Center in the Gundulićeva street (1909), priests home in Palmotićeva street (1910) and building of insurance company in Mihanovićeva street (1928). Since 1911 until 1913 Lubinski worked on his biggest building project, the National and University Library on Marulić square in Zagreb.

Since 1926 until 1930 he worked on a project of Jewish synagogue in Sarajevo, Il Kal grandi.[5] There were many architects employed in the studio of Rudolf Lubinski, who have since grown into the big names of Zagreb modern architecture. Some of them are; Stjepan Planić, Stjepan Gomboš, Juraj Neidhardt and many others. His last project was a commercial building in Gajeva street 5.

Rudolf Lubinski died in Zagreb on March 27, 1935 and was buried at the Mirogoj Cemetery.[6]

gollark: I mean, most of the more privacy-oriented stuff is free and open source.
gollark: As I said, it's not doing *much* to other people but it is doing something, which is why your threshold for that should probably be... above zero?
gollark: If you refuse to use more private ones, that forces privacy-liking people who want to communicate with you onto worse ones.
gollark: Like I said, a big example is with messaging apps and social networks.
