Dragiša Brašovan studied in Budapest between 1906 and 1912. It was common back those years for a Serbian, to study in Hungary, as his home town Vršac was part of the Habsburg Empire.
After his studies he worked for a short time in Budapest. But after World War I he went to Zrenjanin (until 1935 the town was called Veliki Bečkerek) and became the town planning officer.
At the end of the 1920s he went to Belgrade. Some of his projects are showing still elements of neo-styles, like to Nikola Tesla Museum. But with the Pavilion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, constructed for the Barcelona Expo in 1929, he became one of the leading architects for modern architecture in Yugoslavia. On the international scene he showed up withe the Yugoslav Pavilion at the Milan Exhibition Ground in 1931.
After World II he constructed official buildings, like Hotel Metropol in Belgrade. In those years he became a member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
