On the continuity of the ideas and forms in architecture of Ranko Radović

Abstract

Architect Ranko Radović performed as a writer, lecturer, painter and motivator of other people working as a project designer and developer at the same time. He always stood for a synthesis of various spheres within his personal creative opus, in reference to the work of others as well as to his own work, which often arose objection in the professional environment. His project design occupation was often contested and it was never given a due attention. With example of four developed design projects (The battle of Sutjeska memorial house, Theatre Atelje 212, Trades centre on Čubura, Theatre in Subotica), the aim of this paper was to demonstrate the way in which Radović developed his theoretical ideas and viewpoints through architectural design projects, consistently fostering continuity of the ideas and forms.
