In the period between the two world wars (1918–1941), architectural development upon the territory of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes/Kingdom of Yugoslavia was shaped by the contribution of numerous individuals in the spheres of architecture, urban planning and criticism. The architect and aesthetician Milutin Borisavljević (1889–1969) established himself as one of the most prominent individuals in this field, distinguishing himself through both his architectural production and scientific and critical work. The paper sets out to provide a concise biography of Borisavljević as an architect, after which it details his contribution to development of architectural criticism in the domestic environment. Since his critical activities are typologically diverse and thematically complex, the paper focuses on Borisavljević’s critiques of urban planning in Belgrade and the issues associated with this. In addition to the above, the manner and form of Borisavljević’s direct addresses is discussed, with a synthesis of the research being provided in the final section.
