An unusual exhibition, 'My Songs, My Rooms,' is currently on display at the Karlovac City Library's Audiovisual Department, showcasing the creative talents of architectural technician students from Karlovac's Mješovito industrijsko - obrtnička škola (MIOŠ).
The exhibition features 20 students from the third year of the architectural technician program. For their 'Drawing' class, taught by Professor Kristina Krajačić, students were tasked with selecting a song that inspired them. They then had to imagine and design a room based on the mood, character, colors, and furnishings evoked by the music.
Professor Krajačić praised the students' creativity and the excellent results of their work, highlighting the exhibition as proof of their abilities. She noted that the project challenged students to translate auditory inspiration into visual spatial design. The library's support in hosting the exhibition was also acknowledged.
A unique interactive element allows visitors to scan QR codes placed next to each drawing. These codes link to the specific songs that inspired the students' designs, enabling viewers to experience the connection between the music and the envisioned spaces. The students also designed the exhibition's poster, further demonstrating their artistic contributions.
