About Zoran Bojovic

Lived 1936 – 2018 (aged 81–82). Zoran Bojovic was an architect, known for Africa.

Zoran Bojovic (; 1936–2018) was a Yugoslav and Serbian architect and engineer who undertook many large scale projects abroad. He is known for his constructions in Nigeria and the Middle East.

Career Bojovic was born in Belgrade and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Belgrade. In 1961, he was hired by Energoprojekt, a Serbian construction and infrastructure company, where he held a prominent role until his retirement in 1998. As lead architect for the company, he worked in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.

Known for a modernist approach, his portfolio includes industrial facilities and sports complexes, as well as power plants, large housing complexes and urban public spaces. He produced the plans for the International Fair in Lagos, which was attended by American president Jimmy Carter,

Bojovic had to address every aspect of his projects, including hydro-power, nuclear energy and aerodynamics. Regarding the design of the triad aerodynamic tunnel in Žarkovo, he ended up modifying the machinery to reduce pressure and noise, thus resulting in a better constructed tunnel.

Awards and distinctions Bojovic was the recipient of several awards, such as the "Special Award" at the 1984 Belgrade Architecture Salon. The following year, he received the "Belgrade Jubilee Medal" for his architectural contributions to the city. At the second Belgrade Triennial of World Architecture, he was ranked as one of the city's twelve prominent architects.

Bojovic was the subject of a 2012 exhibition held at Belgrade's Museum of Contemporary Art that examined Yugoslavia's influence on African construction. The exhibit also became the focus of a Phd thesis written by architectural researcher Dubravka Sekulić.
