Last October, Oris - Croatian magazine for architecture and culture of living, had a great pleasure of hosting an internationally recognised Chilean architect – Smiljan Radić. During his visit to Zagreb he delivered a lecture entitled Bestiario at the Days of Oris 15 symposium where he also received ORIS ACO Award and was present at the opening of the exhibition Ilustraciones in the Oris House of Architecture. Among lectures that were held at Days of Oris 15 were ones by Anne Lacaton, Terunobu Fujimori, Fabrizio Barozzi and other architects.
Radić is winner of numerous architectural awards and recognitions and author of the Serpentine Pavilion in 2014, along with many other projects published in most prestigious architectural magazines. When he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the Catholic University of Chile in 1989, he travelled for three years, studied at Instituto Universitario di Architettura in Venice, and in 1995 he opened his architectural office in Santiago. In 2001 he received the award Best National Architect Under 35 by the Chilean Architects Association and in 2009 he was declared an honorary member of the American Institute of Architects.
