Description
The existing building in Užička Street No. 8 in Belgrade was built in the period from 1930 to 1931.
According to the original project, the building belongs to refined modernism without historical reminiscences. According to its design character, it belongs to that phase of the development of modernity, which is characterized by the principle of generating shapes and forms using decorative primary and secondary plastic, with a clearly visible absence of historical decoration and spatial composition characteristic of academism, at the expense of accepting the canonical form of modern decoration and the application of modern style.
A similar contrast and incompatibility in relation to the stated importance occurs in the external view of the building, which shows a clearly separated cubic form, which is marginalized in the programming scheme of function analysis by defining vertical corridors, located between strong massive wall planes.
The general context of the future newly planned structure, i.e. the newly formed and architecturally shaped whole, is the most significant urban environment intended for the residential fabric of a residential character, almost totally completed and with a very concrete diffuse appearance, quite valuable and completely defined, and what is especially noticeable, established as a complex, with an extremely strong character in the central glorification system of the city’s urban units.
The second level of value has just emerged from the analysis of the architectural concept, and as such provides the possibility that, in the second phase of the planned intervention, the front of the horizontal newly designed bodies, designed in an architectural composition that, both in terms of vertical regulations and proportional postulates, but also the ratio of full and hollow, and the treatment of the interior space in relation to the exterior, fully corresponds with the reconstructed building and provides a clear establishment of the volumetric hierarchy in relation to the dominant position and importance of the cultural monument.
