Boris Podrecca
Boris Podrecca (born January 30, 1940 in Belgrade ) is an architect living in Vienna with offices in Vienna , Stuttgart and Venice .
Life
As the son of a Slovenian from Trieste and a Herzegovinian , he spent his childhood in Zagreb and Trieste. He graduated from elementary school and high school in Trieste. After graduating from high school, he began studying architecture in Vienna, which he completed in 1968 in the master class of the architect Roland Rainer .
Its architecture is characterized by a special feeling for public spaces, from the overall context of a landscape or city to the detail of an edge or the nature of the material used, and the user-friendliness for the user, which includes the joy of sight.
The projects include plaza designs, traffic stations, company buildings and residential construction up to high-rise buildings.
