Drawings by architect Ahmet Hadrovic

Abstract

As the Author has been constantly working in various fields of architecture since his student days (1976-1980) (designed, wrote professional and scientific papers, wrote books, managed the work of the faculty...), over time a large number of drawings, paintings... Most of the drawings presented in this work by the author in the period from 1983 to 1987. The author presented the drawings edited in 1983 to the public through an author's exhibition entitled 'Postcards of summer 1983', which was organized in the exhibition hall of the (then) Labor University „Đuro Đaković“ in Sarajevo, as part of the cultural promotion of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and on the occasion of the XIV Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. As these drawings were used for illustrations in the spatialist (1985) and master's (1986) thesis as well as in the doctoral dissertation (1988), the Author worked with emphasized precision and their documentary nature, but 'cleaned of excess details'. In this way, the Author established a deep relationship with the artifacts on the spot, got to know them better and more or less 'remembered them for all time', which is not the case with the making of photographs. An incomparably greater number of drawings and paintings, with which the Author spoke about architecture, 'scattered over time'. This work is the connective tissue that connects most of the books and architectural projects that the Author has done so far.
