The building of the Home for War Invalids (1933–1935)
represents one of the most important achievements
of prominent architect and university professor of the
Technical Faculty, University of Belgrade, Dimitrije
M. Leko. The need to build a home for war invalids
was especially relevant in the mid 1920s, and its
materialisation was realised through an edifice
erected in 1935 which testifies to numerous financial
inconveniences that the state had encountered after
World War I, but it is also a testament to the strong
marginalisation of this social group carried out by the
state and Yugoslav society. The first significant initiative
was to build a facility that would represent a solution for
accommodating the large number of impoverished war
invalids, which appeared in 1928 when a competition
was announced for the creation of a conceptual plan for
the Home for War Invalids. This initiative was proposed
by the Association of War Invalids, one of the most
important organiz...ations for the disabled in the interwar
period. The building was supposed to be located on
Mali Kalemegdan, on land ceded by the Municipality of
the City of Belgrade. Due to an unfavourable financial
situation in the state, the construction of the facility
was postponed until 1933, when the location of the
building was changed. The facility was to be built on
one of the most important squares in Belgrade, Wilson
Square (today’s “Savski Trg”). After the competition was
announced in 1933, the conceptual plan of respected
architect Dimitrije M. Leko was selected. Architect Leko
conceived the functional floor plan of the building which
united a wide range of different units: a boarding house
for children with disabilities, a guesthouse for invalids,
business premises of the Association of War Invalids with
a printing house, premises for representative purposes,
a large number of flats, offices, shops and warehouses.
The facade of this four-storey building reflected the
aesthetics of modernised academicism, as well as the
forthcoming monumentalism. Well-proportioned, made
of purified facade surfaces and without a pronounced
visual dominance, this building radiates with a certain
sense of the sublime, representing the personal artistic
expression of the architect. As one of the significant
representative works of architecture of modernised
academicism of the 1930s in Serbia, this monumental
palace has enriched the capital’s architecture in many
ways with its harmonious and authentic composition.
