Šterić was born in Smederevo, Serbia and studied architecture in Belgrade, graduating in 1937. • Illustration — From early days Once World War 2 was over, she was hired by Elektroistok in 1947. She then worked at Energoprojekt from 1951 until 1985, where she became their chief architect. She initially focused on constructing industrial and infrastructural buildings for both companies, designing several power plants throughout Yugoslavia. In 1957, Šterić spent half a year in the Netherlands working at the architectural firm Van den Broek and Bakeme where she learnt more about the Bauhaus style. After returning to Serbia, she applied her new skills and built a commercial building on Carice Milice 2 street. Constructed in 1957, the building's facade is a combination of steel and glass, underscored by horizontal bands of windows. Just down the road, Šterić also built the headquarters of Energoprojekt in 1960, which later became the seat of Beobanka. It was the first structure in Belgrade with free standing pillars and a transparent glass facade. • Illustration — Milica Šterić on a meeting with her team and investors
