STAMBENO – TRGOVAČKA ZGRADAVAKUF HADŽI IDRIZ

Abstract

In the time of global armed conflicts of the leading European   and world powers, a dramatic period of reconstruction of a badly destroyed   country, financially unfavorable opportunities for investments and deep-rooted   urban-architectural endeavours, on the stage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for   the first time in history, young generations of architects are appearing who,   with their realized projects, theoretical works and through socio-political   engagement, they show that BiH successfully understands, accepts and offers   creative solutions that in no way lag behind internationally recognized and   widely accepted projects. Among the pioneers of that generation are the   Kadić brothers, whose joint work and mutual cooperation through their own   design bureau produced the first concrete examples of international style   architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of these accomplishments is the   residential and commercial building of Vakuf Hadži Idriza, at Maršala Tita   Street 32, during the development and implementation of which the authors   faced two crucial challenges - fitting into the found architecture of different   building styles, but mainly the architecture of the Austro-Hungarian period   and a negative consequence the abolition of a part of the already recognizable   cultural and historical heritage from the Ottoman period, the mosque and   the cemetery of Hadji Idriz.
