In an interview for the m-Kvadrat magazine, Marko Matejić and Nikola Ivković describe how their paths into architecture began from a working-class background, without an architectural pedigree, and how years of professional experience have shaped their understanding that architecture is not a hobby but a business. When asked about their role models, they admit that as young architects, they sought inspiration in the great names and monumental works of architecture. However, with experience, their perspective has become more grounded. They now appreciate every piece of quality architecture that brings real value to everyday life. They respect every space that enriches daily living, not just the icons that grace magazine covers. For them, architecture is a serious business, equally rooted in professionalism, honesty, trust, and the value created for clients, users, and the community. Read the full interview here.
