Milorad Ruvidić is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Milorad Ruvidić as Serbian architect (1863-1914).
Milorad Ruvidić was born at Lipolist in 1863. His recorded nationality is Serbia.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in Serbia shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Milorad Ruvidić died in 1914, aged 51. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
