A feverish conglomerate of projects which defy the conventional commercial output prevalent in our built environment. Kovac, who I believe is in his thirties has been embraced by several publishers and readers alike for obvious reasons.....His work hovers above a sea of orthogonal pavements. I would like to see much more. Demand a Kovac project - he is the architect of the future.
