Abstract
The exhibition entitled From the Archive of the Architect Milovan Kovačević is dedicated to the Personal archive of this Croatian architect from the period between the two world wars. This collection was donated by the architect’s family. It contains a series of his competition projects and a collection of his personal belongings from the period between 1928 and 1945. The exhibition layout is conceived as a time machine through Kovaèević’s life. It allows us to get to know the author on a more personal level through his collection of letters, photographs and personal belongings. Moreover, the exhibition presents his competition projects that effectively complement collective memory of his architectural work. They offer a vision of architecture that might have existed in an alternative version of history. His drawings show what handmade architectural drawings used to be like and draw our attention to this neglected discipline nowadays.
