Muhamed and Reuf Kadić

Muhamed and Reuf Kadić were two important Yugoslav architects, who after studying in Prague were among the first to introduce the ideas of modernist architecture in Sarajevo in the interwar period.

In Prague, as young students, based on the achievements of cubism and neoplasticism, they strived to create a free and pure geometric architectural form.

In addition, they were socially engaged, so that due to revolutionary agitation, Muhammad was expelled from Czechoslovakia in 1932, and at the same time he was forbidden to return to his homeland.

He worked on various construction sites and participated in the design of the city hospital in Brcko, municipal offices, apartments and buildings customs offices in Metković, the Deutz and Benau buildings and the Radulović house in Sarajevo, reinforced concrete bridges in Bihać, Tuzla and Mostar, and participated in a tender for the Belgrade Stock Exchange Palace project.

In 1963, Reuf Kadić transferred from the Civil Engineering Technical High School to Energoinvest, to the Supervision and Investment Service, and in 1965 he became the director for capital construction of the Banja Luka Cellulose and Viscose Factory.
