Dimitrije T. Leko is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Dimitrije T. Leko as Serbian architect (1863-1914).
Dimitrije T. Leko was born at Belgrade in 1863.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect and urban planner.
Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
Dimitrije T. Leko died in 1914, aged 51. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
