Zloković studied in Graz (1916–18) and Belgrade (1919–21), as well as Paris (Ecole Superieure des Arts, 1921–23).[1] He pioneered modernism in Yugoslav architecture, animating from 1928 to 1934 together with B. Kojić, J. Dubovi and D. Babić the Group of Architects of the Modern Style (Grupa Arhitekata Modernog Pravca, GAMP). From 1923 till 1963 he was a professor at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Architecture, exerting a great influence on several generations of Yugoslav architects.[1]
Zloković authored what is deemed the most important work of Serbian modernism, the University Children's Clinic (1933).[2] Other main works include: [1]

According to the critics, "his work evolved from academia and folklorism to a final expression in modernism. He nourished a Mediterranean feeling for order, harmony, clarity of shape and a good understanding of the function of space. Apart from pure design, also achieved renown as a theoretician, especially in the fields of the problems of proportions and modular coordination."[1]
