The available research of early 20th century history of architecture in North Macedonia, suggests that probably the first female architect / architectural designer was Elena Bokus (born in 1893 at location unknown). She had apparently practiced in Skopje during the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovens, later Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and there is a record of a house designed by her in 1923. However, there is no information about her work or wearbout after 1923.
The surname Bokus is quite unique for this part of the world, therefore any information on her work, whereabout, or potential country of origin, based on the surname, will be appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
She lived and worked in Skopje. She designed individual family houses. Although her period of work coincides with the extremely rich work of contemporaries Rudolf Vosta, Boris Dutov, Ferdows Kraus and Gligorije Tomic, only the project for:
1923 - The individual family house (P + 1) of Jovan Taskovic on st. "Hajduk Velko" ("Aegean") in Skopje.
Thanks Dr Kukoč,
Yes, the brief note from the late Prof. Konstantinovski book on the architects from North Macedonia Volume One is probably the only brief record on her life and work.
I was hoping that she might have moved to another area within the former, post First World War, Kingdom or abroad where colleagues from those countries might be able to shed further information on her life and work.
Thanks
