To whom it may concern, It is with great significance and pleasure that I am applying for the internship within your architectural studio in Milano. With very strong will to excel and further develop my skills I am presenting you my motivation for the internship and it would be a great honor if you would consider my application. I am currently a graduating student of Architecture-Architectural Design at Politecnico di Milano as well as hons. Master student at Alta Scuola Politecnica, a joint multidisciplinary research program of Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino where as a final project I have worked on a new concept for ICT new musuem clusters and memory mapping of architecture and heritage. I have finished my bachelor studies in Sarajevo, on the Faculty of Architecture where I have always been in top three students. Classes and courses I took during those years taught me not only how to present and design my work but also how to be an architect and a leader that will respect the work from all related fields and learn from all the successful and inspirational stories. My work placement in the biggest architectural office in Bosnia and Herzegovina, GRUPA.ARH d.o.o., where I was assigned as an assistant designer on a project of contemporary urban villas complex in Sarajevo and for a design idea proposal for a new neighborhood in Dubai, further reinforced my wish to continue my masters in the area of architecture and design and showed me that no task is impossible to solve if done with passion and desire. Furthermore, workshops and extracurricular classes on architecture with international professors allowed me to develop a critical thinking and a different research perspective in each project I start doing. Moreover, volunteering work in the field of set design affected the development of my architectural skills and showed me the variety of ways to combine the two elements in architecture I follow the most – creativity and logic. Studying architecture allowed me to expose and expand my best qualities and talents and it improved my skills not only as a designer but also as a person that can contribute to the community with urban actions I have done in Sarajevo. I strongly believe that every project is a way to address the problems of the community that is going to be involved or exposed to it and that no project is small or meaningless as long as it is done with true wish and commitment. Nevertheless, I think that my very good organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills with the flexibility required to stay highly focused and self-possessed in demanding environment, are my other, not less important, qualities. In addition, being a critical thinker, who can quickly learn new systems, I can only hope that I will have a chance to be selected for working within your studio. As a results driven and team oriented professional, I am sure that I will have the chance to learn a lot and further improve my skills attending an internship in an architecture studio like yours. It is a desire for further self-education, on site real experience, construction of knowledge and stance on the topics regarding every day architecture that this internship would bring and offer me. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Srna Tulić

Inujima is a small island in a quiet inland sea of Seto Naikai. Wecan walk around the entire island in about 1 to 2 hours. Once flourishing with industries af copper refining and stone quarrying, it is said that this small island had a population of around 5000 people. However, along with the decline in the industries, the population on the island declined progressively, and now there are only about 50 islanders. The average age of the remaining islanders is around 80 years and the aging population and depopulation now remarkably limit the development of the settlement. In order to offer positive experiences that are not ordinarily available in the city, this project is connecting existing elements of the island-two villages, six quarries, Seirensho Art museum and art house project. This loop of experiences is creating an island within an island which represents the heartland, inwardness of Inujima. The Loop is becoming architecture in itself. This Loop becomes an object defined by architectural elements: the path (old and new parts), steps, columns and roof, which are used in a different way in each point depending on the context. The path in itself, together with parts near quarries where it becomes wider, is creating spaces which are in harmony with natural environment. Furthermore, the element of the roof has a role of framing the landscape of Inujima. The finishing material of the roof is made of reflective aluminum which is used in order to create infinite landscapes. Finally the idea of the project is to connect inwardness of the people and the inwardness of the island.

02 AEMILIA187
THE BEATING HEART OF PARMA 2014/2015 POLITECNICO DI MILANO_INTERIOR DESIGN AND PRESERVATION STUDIO I PROF. STEFANIA VARVARO, PROF. ROSSANA GABAGLIO TEAM: Srna Tulić, Gabriele Borella, Lorenza Sartori, Giulia Berni “As a capital city it had to have a river. As a capital city it recieved a stream, which is often dry.” Attilio Bertolucci
AEMILIA 187 - The Roman Bridge: new urban connections and cultural spaces in the archaeological backdrop of the city The concept of Aemilia187 is to show the true portrait of the new city, its secret places and / or reputable, real jewellery boxes, deposits of imaginary and wonder. The task of these architectures will be first to mark the routes which link the two broken lines along the right river bank of Parma and cancelling for a second the reading of a city that is “beyond the street”, that will bring the citizens and city dwellers to use the forgotten site of Piazza Ghiaia and its surrounding. In addition, each “piece” of this urban connection gives a little taste of the history of Parma, storytelling from one point to another. Thus connecting the Palazzo della Pilotta with Pinacoteca Stuard on one side and the University of Parma with its new hub on the other, we are constructing a new mental urban map of the city, involving user-interaction and new levels of urban city scale.

03 A NEW CIVIC CENTER FOR CESANO MADERNO REVITALIZING INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
2015/2016 POLITECNICO DI MILANO_ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO II PROF. LAURA ANNA PEZZETTI, PROF. CLAUDIO SANGIORGI, PROF. CARLO ALBERTO SANJUST TEAM: Srna Tulić, Jacqueline Langlade, Lorenza Sartori
SNIA Viscosa industrial village in Cesano Madero is one of the pioneer settlements of this type in Italy. Due to an increase of the textile industry in Italy in the 1920s/1930s, the SNIA Viscosa industry settled in an outskirt area of the historic town of Cesano Maderno in northern Italy. The boom of the industry led to an 10 times increase in bot the population and the city. With the upgrade of robotised industries and cheaper and cheaper textiles imported, the factory and its belonging structures were closed in the beginning of the 1990. Once a symbol of power and a place of reference to almost 50% of the population, the area remained underutilesed and undermaintained. By the protecting the 1920s and 1930s heritage facilities within the industrial complex, the city called for a new possible future vision for the area showing that it can be reused and revitalised thus becoming a new trategic regeneration and development area. A new civic center in the old research “nave” building combining a library, exhibiton areas, auditorium and gathering spot becomes a new agora and meeting place in Cesano Maderno. And a new life for SNIA Village.

The project proposed the reactivation of the currently closed and undermaintained secret dwelling withing the famous Palazzo Te in Mantova. An intervention made of frames that act both as entrances, passages, exhibition units and rest stops provides a different view on both the Renaissance architecture of the Palazzo Te as well as on the exhibitions that would be hosted in the secret dwelling. The concept of frames provides multiple views which between them intersect providing a double or triple choices of views to the visitors: _concept of space that can be crossed, lived, experimented based on our considerations _do not touch the pre-existent building structure _through the use of the material, we tried to create a continuum between modern and ancient, in order to give a new life to the space mantaining the essence untouched. _stylized geometry of the square which is able to extract the core of visual continuum through the different spaces, using the pure geometric form _corten steel: rough material that has the quality to connect with the tones / shades of the pre-existent materials

UPLIFITING SARAJEVO COURTYARDS 2013/2014 INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO_DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE AND FABRICATION PROF. LAMILA SIMIŠIĆ TEAM: Srna Tulić, Senad Alibegović, Dzana Ajanović
The layered project of the Section Injection chair is the result of experimentation in the course Digital fabrication and was concieved as an urban intervention in one of the many courtyards in the old Austro-Hungarian or abandoned building blocks in Sarajevo. It seeks to reinvent the standard city furniture, as well to set new standards in furniture design. We also wanted to motivate people to use more unique furniture that has a meaning behind it. The chair represents a small ‘intervention’ that can be made to any outdoor area, particularly the ones that are very popular and highly used, but do not have good conditions, nor any design philosophy behind their visual appearance. The chair can fit into almost any environment, without disturbing its original setting. By its morphology, the chair is very organic, and is designed to be placed leaning on the wall, visually appearing like it is going out of the wall and disappearing into the ground. The chair is injecting a fresh look into the old, misused and dull city urban life. With the limited resources nowadays, and expensive materials, it is very difficult to have a designer piece of furniture, so why not create your own. The chair is made in a simple way, so that anyone at home can assemble it very easy. The chair is also very versatile in terms of the materials from which it can be build, from simple wood, to plastics. But, the main idea is to use digital fabrication methods and to actually reuse material. In this case, we reused old wood panels that were once part of a theatre scenography, so that chair can speak more languages than ever: aesthetic, historical, architectural, artistic and urban. And any new chair that is built is to be made of panels of different background, and uniting them creates a unity of history with every chair still being unique for itself with its own ‘history’.

06 NEW WINDOWS TOWARDS TEH CITY SARAJEVO POLJINE URBAN VILLAS 09-11 / 2013_INTERNSHIP AT GRUPA.ARH ARCHITECTURE STUDIO SUPERVISOR: ARH. PROF. SEAD GOLOĹ
Poljine plato is located just above the city of Sarajevo, at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level. Facing the south-west side, it is surrounded by a green wall towards north, being protected from the winter winds. Sarajevo Zoo and 1984 Olympic stadium are located nearby. During the internship I was assigned the task of the initial idea design, working later on the final interior and exterior design. The design comprised of two types of urban villas, although later on the investors need, the project added two more typologies. The villas comprise of 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, open living room with dinning and kitchen area, 3 terrace balconies and a garned. The disposition is made related to the orientation and the views from the hill towards the city. The project is currently under construction.

Living every day the Campus Città Studi implies the most usual activities such as attending classes in the classrooms, study in the library, work in a group, eat, drink, use the toilet, rest when needed and where possible, etc. The interior space of the Campus, which qualifies as Citta Studi is, however, something more complex than just the sum of individual actions. Also it implies a rich and integrated practices and behaviors involving students, teachers, administrative staff and local residents, that during the day they live the open spaces and university services: moving, orient, park cars and bicycles, relax in a comfortable, celebrating graduation, doing meetings and lessons in non-institutional spaces, making music and entertainment, to applied teaching outdoors, read outdoors, communicate to the city student work and results of the research, sports and movement, etc. Away from a rigid division by functions, all of these activities - the ways in which they take place, the quality of the spaces they produce, ecological and sustainable energy, the attitude of care on the part of the protagonists of daily life - defines the “habitability of the campus”.

08 SET DESIGN
ARCHITECTURE IN THEATRE AND FILM 2012-2014 Set design in itself is a process very similar to an architectural project. The space that is created is a powerful tool to engage the audience in the world of the characters found on the stage/on the screen. In those moments, the space in front of us, around us and inside us become one. From initial design idea, design development process to set design realisation. Work on puppetry plays set renewal, set design construction and assembly.
