Abstract

This research is inspired by the acquiring of the personal and professional archive of the architect Petar Vulović (1931 – 2017) by University of Banja Luka Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy. Vulović was a distinguished architect of high-to-late modernism in Yugoslavia, whose body of work progressively came to be treated in a relatively fragmented way after the breakup of the country. The archive, which encompasses architectural designs and projects, informal studies of architectural geometry, drawings, paintings, photographs and personal documents, is being for the first time examined and classified, within the process of making it available to the professional and wider audiences. The paper proposes a structured framework for the study of this archive, based on the review of the existing literature, biographical reconstruction and an analytical approach to the archival material. Findings point in the direction of significant new possibilities for new readings of the author’s creative and theoretical outlook
