University of Belgrade. University of Pennsylvania.
Her work was recognized by two national architecture prizes. She continued her studies in Japan, which strongly influenced her later work. Her style was distinctive for the selection of materials she used, melding the structures with their external environment and the substantial size and power of her designs.
The building typifies her style in that it uses stone, a traditional building material, to play with unique shapes which jut out from the façade, in an nontraditional manner.
At the same time, the building fits into the landscape as if its concrete mass were always part of the environment. Radević died on 8 November 2000.
