This book focuses specifically on Serbian modernist buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, offering a rare glimpse at an overlooked art movement. Blagojevic, an architect herself and lecturer at the University of Belgrade, analyzes the works of Serbian modernist architects. From the dust jacket: “Because so many of the buildings discuses are disintegrating or have been destroyed or altered beyond recognition, the book serves not only as a documentary and critical study but also as a preservation resource.”
