Viktor Sulčič

Viktor Sulčič, also known as Víctor (or Victorio) Sulcic, was a Slovenian born architect in Argentina. He was born in 1895 in Križ (in Italian Santa Croce) near Trieste, died in 1973 in Buenos Aires.

After completing his studies of architecture in Florence and Bologna, Sulčič emigrated to Argentina in 1924. He joined two other architects there: José Luis Delpini and Raúl Bes. The two most famous buildings, projected by the team, are located in Buenos Aires: fruit and vegetable market (in 1999 converted into a shopping mall) Abasto, completed in 1934, and Boca Juniors stadium La Bombonera, completed in 1940.

Other works by Viktor Sulcic include a collection of water colours depicting South American landscapes and poems written in Spanish.

Viktor Sulcic was married to Anna Kiselicki, a piano teacher, native of Vranjevo near Novi Bečej in Serbia. They had two sons: Fedor and Hector Igor Sulcic. Tragedy claimed the life of young Igor, forever changing the family. Fedor went on to become a successful businessman and died in February 2010. At the time of his death, Fedor was survived by his wife of 47 years, Carmen Teresa Guaycochea, the daughter of a prominent Argentine Airforce Commander and Ambasador, Brigadier Mayor Samuel Guaychochea, and his only two children, Maria Victoria and Nicolas Fedor.
