Belgrade opus of architect Jovanka Jeftanović

Abstract

Jovanka Jeftanović is one of the most significant female architects who graduated at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Belgrade prior to 1941, and whose professional career spanned post World War II period, from 1940s to 1960s. The designs she authored in Belgrade and in the surrounding area, while working in eminent town planning and designing offices, are among her most admirable projects. Even though historiography has timely recognised her significance for the Serbian post-war architecture, her entire contribution has not been thoroughly valorised. For that reason, we take this opportunity to present the unknown facts about the life and work of architect Jeftanović with the aim of providing a comprehensive interpretation of her opus.
