Ratko Ivanušec has been employed at Ministry of Culture since 1998. At first he was working in Conservation Department Osijek and since 2008 in Conservation Department Slavonski Brod. He obtained his BA in History of Art and History at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Zagreb in 1997. In his work as a senior advisor – conservator for immovable cultural heritage, he deals with documenting, studying and researching cultural heritage. As a conservation supervisor, he participates in tracking and supervising protective works in the restoration of cultural heritage. He is especially interested in researching, studying and documenting medieval sacral and fortification architecture in the continental Croatia, especially in central and eastern Slavonia from 13th to 16th century. In the scope of his field work, he is focused on conservation analysis of stylistic and morphological characteristics of medieval sacral and fortification architecture by way of applying medieval way of designing and building, and especially on analysis of structural determinants of building structures, based on which we can analyze not only properties of building material, techniques and way of masonry style in the Middle Ages, but also building stratification, i.e. construction phases of a medieval church or fortress. An exhibition Medieval fortification architecture – structural determinants (stone and bricks) from 2016. is a result of his longtime conservation field work and is based on such analytical conservation approach of analysis of building materials (stones and bricks) and understanding of typological and structural properties of medieval architecture. The structural determinants of ten or more medieval fortresses built between 13th and 16th century in central and eastern Slavonia, as well as couple of fortresses from continental Croatia, have been processed for the exhibition.
