Architect Đorđe Bobić died today in Belgrade after a short illness. Berry practiced architecture mostly in Belgrade, the city where he was born, but also in Paris, Sarajevo, Zenica, Moscow, Skopje, Kruševac, Niš, Yakutsk, Sochi.
He fought against it until the very end demolition his hometown.
In his last statements, Bobić commented on the potential demolition of the General Staff building. On that occasion, he said that he is also emotionally attached to that building, because the creator of the General Staff complex, Dobrović, was his teacher, and that it is a masterpiece of Yugoslav and Serbian architecture, recognized throughout the world as the pinnacle of modernism.
"That is why the decision was made to recognize the status of a cultural monument of the highest rank." That is enough for the state to undertake the obligation to invest money and return the building to the state it was in before the criminal act of NATO," said Bobić at the time.
It is arrogant, he said, that it is simply being demolished, and that some kind of hotels are being built, and that the "foreign power" that bombed Belgrade in 1999 is being "gifted the most precious place" in the city, and that it is being "traded for political or personal interest". He called for it to be prevented at all costs.
Đorđe Bobić said in an earlier interview for "Vreme" that the fair's Hall 1 represents "an outstanding exhibition space at the world level, which it has proven for decades." Making her something else is a mistake. Of course, everything is a matter of engineering and architecture, and in that sense everything is possible, but turning it into an opera implies a complete change of the physiognomy of Hall 1."
