Biography
Momir Korunović was born on April 17, 1883 in
After the outbreak of the First Balkan War, he was mobilized and participated in the battles against the Turks, for which he received the Gold Medal for bravery. The experience from the war will influence Korunović to take an authentic Serbian point of view when to comes to architecture.[8] He participated in a series of battles during the First World War and retreated through Albania with the Royal Serbian Army and people. During the war, he continued to make sketches and designs for subsequent projects.
In addition to working in the civil service as a government official
During the occupation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, he continued to work in the ministry. He retired in 1942. After the war, in the new state, he spent his retirement days in his house in Vračar, where he mostly wrote his memories and illustrated earlier publications.
He is the architect whose works were the most destroyed during the occupation of Yugoslavia and in socialist Yugoslavia.[13]
He died on April 17, 1969 in Belgrade. He was buried in the village of Bogava.[14]
Projects
Korunović build the Belgrade city center for physical culture "Stari DIF", located on Deligradska street in
In 1922 Korunović was entrusted with the task of renovating the semi-circular one-story building built for the needs of the palace guard to make it suitable for guests coming to Belgrade for the royal wedding of King Alexander I Karađorđević and Princess Maria of Romania. The semicircular wings were kept for accommodations while the rest of the building was assigned to the Marshal of the Court. The building was demolished in 1953 by the communist authorities.[19] The old Post Office has also been altered beyond recognition.[20] The new, communist authorities, considered its façade "too bourgeois" so they removed the remains of the façade and reconstructed only the skeletal architecture under it, which suited the style of the Socialist realism which was pushed by the government in the immediate post-war period.[21]
