Fence Student Park is in extremely bad condition, despite the fact that reconstruction the gate of the Student Park has been announced several times, but for now there is nothing.
The gates are so damaged and rusted that one cannot be opened, the concrete is cracked in several places and there is not a single decorative amphora on the fence that is not damaged.
The Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of the City of Belgrade is responsible for the maintenance of the gates of the Student Park.
Professor of the Faculty of Architecture Ivan Rašković reminds that the fence of the Student Park is the work of Milutin Borisavljević and that it was made almost 100 years ago, in 1929.
"That masterpiece, also known in literature, executed in a superb way, both conceptually and in performance. There are numerous damages on it, and it must be taken into account that it is relatively demanding in terms of reconstruction, it will certainly require more effort and money, but this is often the case with top-notch architecture," said Rašković for N1.
He assessed that the fence is rich in form, and that theorists place it in the baroque style, and some in the neo-rococo style.
"It should be borne in mind that the architect Milutin Borisavljević was a classicist, and during his career he clashed with the modernists, when modernity was gaining a place in the world and in our environment. He remained a classicist until the end, and this can be seen from the elliptical openings on the fence and details such as wrought iron bars and gates," Rašković said.
He evaluates the Student Park fence as a top architectural concept and top craftsmanship, and pointed out that such things require more effort and money for reconstruction.
He added that the fence has almost no right angles, and there are many details, so the reconstruction requires special craftsmanship.
