Prilog proučavanju beogradske arhitekture Milana Zlokovića u periodu između dva svetska rata

Abstract

Numerous published papers have covered the life and work of architect Milan Zloković. He has been presented as a pioneer of the modern movement in Serbian architecture and one of its most prominent representatives, as well as one of the most eminent Serbian architects from the first half of the 20th century. His extensive opus, which officially contains just over 170 designs, has been analyzed in detail. However, during the musealization of his legacy, in the process of forming the Bequest of Milan Zloković, and in cooperation with Belgrade City Museum and the Milan Zloković Foundation, over 50 previously unknown designs were identified. This was the result of the extensive research of vast amounts of project documentation, preserved in his family house and previously unavailable to researchers. This paper presents one part of that research, specifically the designs for several structures in Belgrade, originating from the interwar period. The first section presents a short biography of Zloković, especially with regard to the period from 1925 to 1937. The second section is dedicated to his designs, each of which is presented separately. The section is further divided into two segments, the first of which is built structures, and the second, unrealized projects. Included in the built structures are also a few alterations and extensions. The paper is mostly based on a study of primary sources, designs from the Milan Zloković legacy and documentation from the Historical Archive of Belgrade, as well as previously published research.
