The Faculty of Law
A rigorous modernist complex, reminiscent of an open book, serving as a space for the formation of Serbia’s political and intellectual elite.

As Serbian history shows, the Faculty of Law of the University of Belgrade is a true training ground for talented politicians: among its graduates are the current President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, the writer and politician Vuk Drašković, former President of Serbia Vojislav Koštunica, Slobodan Milošević, and the writer Branislav Nušić — in short, a true forge of the political and intellectual elite.
The Faculty of Law building on King Alexander Boulevard was constructed between 1936 and 1940 with the participation of Pyotr Anagnosti, whom we discussed earlier. This is modernism without a manifesto: functional, restrained, almost devoid of ornament. The plan is rounded-triangular; the architecture emphasizes the corner and turns the entrance into a stage. It works with the city in the way law works with life: it draws boundaries, sets frameworks, and turns chaos into form.
Seen from above, the building somewhat resembles an open book — surely, a legal code. Having touched upon the life of students, we may now turn to their everyday world.
