i craft, design and think

My name is Nenad Katic. I am an independent designer working across disciplines.

I craft digital content and experiences, design real-world buildings and objects, and think hard to make sure that the ideas behind these make sense in a first place.

Casa Mancic is a unique and contradictory home that is constructed as a mix-tech: a hybrid of advanced digital design tools and locally available traditional knowledge of contruction, materials and energy preservation.

Case Study for Mix-Tech Architecture

5D Digital City system was my key assignment as former Director of Technology at Screampoint.
It was the first digital city system to be successfully adopted by a city government in world, in Wuhan (China) in 2006.

This is not an achievement in interior design nor it is meant to be. Instead, the process of designing my own apartment turned out to be a catharsis in which I radically changed my lifestyle and understanding of well-being.
In a way, it was my own private Fight Club.

Museum Macura is a result of an unintentional participative design process in which the original architectural concept was greatly depreciated, but the new and unexpected quality emerged from the loss of control over final design and execution process.

A Successful Failure

For years, I have been pushing boundaries of architectural presentation, adopting the techniques from far more advanced realm of advertising. I create single image narratives that tell the story about the space yet to be built, and establish a meaningful emotional connection with the public.

Art Direction for Architecture

MonteVerde attempts to offer an alternative to overblown developments that recently has spawned all over the coast of Montenegro, destroying the local ecosystem.
We work with the client on total design, from architecture to marketing, to introduce an idea of sustainable luxury to this young mediterrenean country.

Vaneko is a little online game I developed as a self-therapy against intense frustration caused by unfair global politics that resulted in insane bureaucracy that kept me separated from my girlfriend.

Make Games, Not War

One of my favorite recent projects is a small website I made for multi-talented artist Ana Zarubica. It’s playful, it’s sincere, we had so much fun doing it, and the compensation was priceless – “a beginning of a beautiful friendship”.

Although engineering is often the art of avoiding failure, interaction and industrial design are the art of failing and understanding the failures correctly.

"Outliers" by Malcom Gladwell

Witty witty ! As always, Gladwell offers an unconventional point of view, backed with carefully chosen and amusing stories - this time about factors that contribute to success.

The structure implies that Gladwell might be working backwards on his books - he starts with thinking of an intriguing outlook on a particular subject and then does a thorough research on facts and scientific studies suitable to illustrate it.
Through a rather laid back narration he doesn’t attempt to be persuasive, as much as to open the readers’ minds to different explanations and their own critical judgement, and as such this book provides a plentiful source of inspiration.
