In less than a decade spent in Dubrovnik, Nikola Dobrović managed to construct a series of houses- machines, all of which characteristically embody the ideas of the heroic, international period of modern architecture. Yet, there is a specific value to his Dubrovnik oeuvre. His architecture indeed evades conceptual classifications: every reference to the time period of his work must be conditioned by an understanding of its parameters of place. Simultaneously, each possible reference to local tradition is brought to the modern world and thus incorporated into the greater, universal tradition to which Dobrović contributed. |
