SUBJECT
Of Montenegrin descent, Vladimir Djurovic was born in Lebanon in 1967 and pursued his studies abroad. He received his Undergraduate Degree in Horticulture from Reading University in England and his Masters Degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia in the U.S. After working in the U.S. for several years, he returned to Lebanon to establish his landscape architectural practice in 1995.
Modularity is a term with many meanings in many contexts ranging from architecture to design to engineering and software development. Regardless of which type of modularity we refer to, one of the most essential - if not the most essential part of a module - is its interface, or the link / juncture between two or more modules. Using countries and cultures as a metaphor for modules in a global society, one can observe that between countries and cultures this interface can be of a physical nature; borders and landscapes, or of a metaphysical nature; between language and rituals (culture).
