Summary/Abstract: This biographical essay traces the author’s personal and professional journey through three distinct architectural educational systems - those of Sarajevo, Ljubljana, and Norway - during periods of global, societal, and technological transformation in the 1990s and beyond. The author reflects on how the dominant architectural movements of that era, such as deconstructivism and phenomenological architecture, influenced his approach to design. Moreover, the text addresses the identity crisis facing the architectural profession today, amid climate change, technological advances, social inequality, and digitalization. A central theme is redefining the architect’s role: shifting from "builder of society” to "caretaker of space” and participant in co-creative processes. The author champions a return to the craft of architecture while embracing new technologies as tools for a more creative, responsible, and inclusive architecture. He concludes that architects must relinquish control and cultivate "intuitive navigation” through complex societal and spatial challenges, engaging with users, clients, and other disciplines.
