PROJECT 2010 2012
UNFINISHED MODERNISATIONS
BETWEEN UTOPIA AND PRAGMATISM
ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING
IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA AND ITS
SUCCESSOR STATES
Unnished Modernisations is a collaborative, long-term research platform on architecture and urban
planning. The project was initiated by Croatian Architects Association and it brings together partners
from both institutional and non-institutional sectors from South-Eastern Europe: Museum of Archi-
tecture and Design, [Slovenia], Maribor Art Gallery [Slovenia], the Croatian Architects Association
and the Oris, House of architecture, Zagreb [Croatia], the Association of Belgrade Architects [Serbia]
and the Coalition for Sustainable Development [Macedonia].
The project is aimed at fostering interdisciplinary research on the production of built environment
in its social, political and cultural contexts. It encompasses the countries that succeeded former
Yugoslavia, spanning the period from the inception of the socialist state until today. The topic of
the research is the way in which divergent concepts of modernisation conditioned architecture, ter-
ritorial transformations, and urban phenomena. The project seeks to detect effective, resilient, and
socially responsible models of architecture and urban planning. While largely unexplored and lacking
appropriate interpretation, many of the models created in the region were original and experimental
and may be used as inspiration for a progressive current practise both inside and beyond the regional
borders. The project also seeks to reconstruct an important segment of the shared history of South-
Eastern Europe and to strengthen cross-cultural respect and understanding through trans-national
collaboration and mobility.
This platform for collaboration in the eld of architecture and urban planning gathers 14 interdisci-
plinary teams. Over the course of two years, they have researched various architectural and urban
planning phenomena within the social, economic and cultural context of socialist Yugoslavia, and
the reections of these processes in todays independent states after Yugoslavias demise. The
researches have focused on the ways in which the architecture and urban planning were inuenced
by the concepts of modernisation and the social experiment of construction in the self-government
socialist society, and what inuence did the architecture and urban planning have on creation of the
social reality. In that sense, architecture and urban planning are seen as an integral part of the proc-
ess of general modernisation of the society, and also as a specic cultural phenomenon. Unnished
Modernisations have been carried out through a variety of activities: workshops, symposia, lectures,
exhibitions, publications, and interactive web-site\blogs. These efforts culminated in a nal exhibition
in Maribor [Slovenia], the 2012 Cultural Capital of Europe.
Modernist architecture and urbanism in socialist Yugoslavia reveals many original and progressive mo-
dels. The planning of cities and settlements in the period of vital postwar economic growth proves to have
been of a particularly high level. It was comprehensive and well controlled with unprecedentedly greater
responsibility dedicated to the common living environment, as it is perceived today. Architecture presen-
ted and served as a research laboratory for industry and a source of innovation in construction. And the
political elite used modern buildings as a propaganda or communication tool with which to demonstrate to
the world how advanced the country they managed and operated was.
Through various issues, processes and architectural projects in the countries of the former Yugoslavia
the Unfinished Modernisations project definitively fills in some grey areas in the world history of modern
architecture. The topic of this collective research, which concludes with a conference in Ljubljana, is inte-
resting owing to questions emerging from enhanced insight into the architectural production that has been
rejected as irrelevant and outdated since the moment society (here) embraced democracy and the market
economy. Now, when social ideals as well as critical and experimental approaches to building are again at
the forefront of architectural thinking, discourse and practice, it is both highly relevant and revealing to
study the spatial layer that was created with the modern production of space and to try and determine its
legacy for the future. Did we understand modernism, its protagonists and manifestos, well enough or were
we too superficial in our reading of them? What are their key messages to the contemporary production
of architecture? How much does an architect, whose role is now (and forever) changing, still refer to the
heroic times of modernism? Can modernist activism, faith in progress and a collective social conscience,
still be detected within the profession?
The purpose of Unfinished Modernisations as is reflected in the title is no idealization of the period,
nor of the system in which the architectural and urban production under discussion developed. Because
of its undeniable shortcomings modernisations are not finished, they are incomplete. But at the same time
this incompleteness, with which we are faced daily, presents a situation that we need now and further
in the future to address.
At the closing conference of the Unfinished Modernisations project these and other questions will be ra-
ised, with international architectural critics, theorists and researchers who will respond with their won
particular points of reference: Nicholas Fox Weber (Director of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation,
Bethany, USA), Owen Hatherley (writer and journalist, London), Hans Ibelings (editor, A10 New European
Architecture, Amsterdam), Breda Miheli (art historian, director of the Urban Planning Institute, Slovenia,
Ljubljana), Maroje Mrdulja (project leader, Unfinished Modernisations, Zagreb). On the first day a public
interview will be held with architect Stanko Kristl, one of the main protagonists of modernist architecture
in Slovenia. He will be interviewed by architect Tina Gregoric (Dekleva Gregoric arhitekti, Ljubljana) and
architect Tadej Glaar (Vice-Dean, Faculty of Architecture, Ljubljana). On the second day of the confe-
rence visitors will be able to listen to presentations of the researchers who participated in the Unfinished
Modernisations project: Alenka Di Battista (Slovenia), Luciano Basauri (Croatia), Dafne Berc (Croatia),
Nika Grabar (Slovenia), Jelena Grbi (Serbia), Jelica Jovanovi (Serbia), Ivan Kucina (Serbia), Vinja

BREDA MIHELI
Breda Miheli (Ljubljana, 1948) is engaged in researching the history of architecture and urbanism in
the 19th and 20 century and is Director of the Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia. In
addition to historical research she also deals with urban morphology and architectural typology and
the methodology of urban regeneration and protection of cultural heritage. Within these themes she
also pays particular attention to the period of the turn of the 19th and 20 century. Her master's thesis
entitled "Ljubljana Urban Development", was published as a scientific monograph nearly 30 years ago,
and still represents a fundamental work on the development of the Slovenian capital into a modern
city. Breda Miheli has published numerous articles both at home and abroad. She has been involved
in many international projects, and since 1999, she has directed and coordinated the Slovenian part of
Project Art Nouveau in Progress / Art Nouveau en Projets, and participates actively in the Art Nouveau
network, also as a member of its board.
NICHOLAS FOX WEBER
Nicholas Fox Weber (Hartford, Connecticut, USA, 1947) graduated from Columbia College and Yale
University and for more than 30 years has worked as Director of the Albers Foundation, which oversees
the legacy of Josef and Anni Albers, the only artistic pair within the Bauhaus group, and with whom Fox
Weber was friends. He taught at various schools in the U.S. and was for some time CEO of The Josef
Albers Foundation in Germany. In 1988 he served as visiting curator at the Guggenheim Museum in
New York, where he organised a retrospective exhibition of the work of Josef Albers. He is the author
of several monographs on art and architecture, including The Clarks of Cooperstown, Balthus, Patron
Saints, and The Art of Babar. In 2009 he published The Bauhaus Group, in which through his close
relationship with the Albers pair Weber brings to life the characters and community of protagonists
of this pioneering art school. The year previous, Weber published a biographical work Le Corbusier:
A Life, which is the first biography of one of the most influential, admired and maligned architects of
the 20th century.
OWEN HATHERLEY
Owen Hatherley (Southampton, 1981) is a British writer and journalist who lives in London. He blogs
mainly about architecture, urbanism, politics, culture and design. He regularly writes for Icon, The
Guardian, Frieze, and has a column in the magazine Building Design. Recently he completed his Ph.D.
thesis on Americanism in the Weimar Republic and the Soviet Union, at Birkbeck College. He is the
author of two highly acclaimed books: Militant Modernism and A Guide to the new ruins of Great
Britain. Militant Modernism was published three years ago, with the Guardian newspaper declaring
it "an intelligent and passionately argued attempt to "excavate utopia" from the ruins of modernism"
and an "exhilarating manifesto for a reborn socialist modernism". In the book, Hatherley, with charac-
teristically provocative nostalgia, describes a world that was created before he was born, whose me-
aning has been forgotten and the sense of it desecrated. In A Guide to the new ruins of Great Britain
Hatherley criticized soulless and failed projects, which he claims characterize a period of greed and
depletion" in the Blair-era UK.
HANS IBELINGS
Hans Ibelings is an architectural critic and historian. He founded the magazine A10, new European
architecture, together with Arjan Groot in 2004, which until recently he ran and edited. He studied art
history and archeology in Amsterdam. As a curator he has worked for several years in the Netherlands
Architecture Institute in Rotterdam. He has taught at various schools in the Netherlands and abroad,
including in Rotterdam, Lausanne and Belgrade. He has written and edited several books on contempo-
rary architecture, including the European Architecture 1890-2010. As an editor, critic and curator Hans
Ibelings encountered architecture in the former Yugoslavia in various capacities and ways. In 2009 he
was a member of the jury for the Golden Pencil in Slovenia, and was Commissioner of the 44th Zagreb
Salon. He is the curator of traveling exhibition RESTART, Architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1995
to 2010. Currently he is preparing the launch of a new architectural media The Architecture Observer,
intended to become a multi-platform tool for architectural criticism.
STANKO KRISTL
Stanko Kristl (Ljutomer, 1922) is one of the main protagonists of modern Slovenian architecture. He
graduated in 1954 from the then Faculty of Technology (Ljubljana). He was the the author of several
landmark projects in the 1960s and 70s, including the famous "Kristl block" in Velenje, Kindergarten
Mladi rod in Ljubljana, the elementary school France Preeren in Kranj, the Emergency Unit of the
University Medical Centre in Ljubljana, and Hospital Building in Izola. He made a number of projects for
hospital buildings in Yugoslavia. For his work he has received several Slovenian and Yugoslav awards.
Soon after graduation he became assistant to Edvard Ravnikar and collaborated with him on several
projects, including the urban plan for the new city of Kidrievo (Slovenia). Stanko Kristl taught for
several years at the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana and after retiring became a member of the
Slovenian Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is still actively working as an architect. His latest pro-
ject, the extension of the Emergency block of the University Medical Centre, is about to be completed.
V+II POINTS ON ARCHITECTURE AND
IDEOLOGY
NIKA GRABAR (Slovenia)
When speaking about the architecture of the former Yugoslavia, we are talking about the architectu-
ral production of a society that no longer exists. The context of this political project provided specific
conditions for its culture. A complex event or development often prevents the outside viewer from
understanding local development, whereas the view from within is too close to establish the neces-
sary distance from the works under discussion.
THE ZAGREB FAIR ON THE "RIGHT"
BANK OF THE SAVA
LANA LOVRENI, ANTUN SEVEK (Croatia)
The leading Yugoslav centres, Belgrade, Ljubljana and Zagreb, as well as a few other centres, had
a tradition of trade fairs that dated back to the period before World War II; however, during the so-
cialist period, these fairs grew in both size and number. The decision to shift the Zagreb fair to the
southern bank of the Sava, to an area that had not hitherto been included in town planning, was taken
in September 1955, for after the concerted renewal of countries from the Eastern Bloc it became clear
that the premises of the old fair, even after expansion, were inadequate.
UNPLANNED BY PLANNING NEW
BELGRADE TRANSFORMATIONS
IVAN KUCINA, MILICA TOPALOVI
WI TH: DUBRAVKA SEKULI, BRANKO BELAEVI (Serbia)
From the very beginning, the urban development of new Belgrade was highly dependent on politi-
cal circumstances, because it was designed to represent the successful socialist Yugoslav model.
Nevertheless, the urban planning doctrine that was inextricably tied to utopian modernist ideals, failed
to take into account the rapid pace of political and economic reforms that created continual reduc-
tions of and deviations in urban development. As result, new Belgrade has taken on the appearance
of an unplanned concrescence of diversified leftovers comprised of interrupted attempts to achieve
comprehensive urbanity.
SKOPJE URBAN TRANSFORMATIONS,
CONSTRUCTING THE BUILT
ENVIRONMENT IN DIFFERENT
SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXTS
DI VNA PENI, BILJANA SPIRKOSKA, JASNA STEFANOVSKA (Macedonia)
When the urban development of Skopje is tracked, it becomes clear that the turbulent history of
the twentieth century (the First and the second World War, the establishment of the common state
of the Yugoslav people, the disastrous earthquake of 1963, the collapse of Yugoslavia) has left a
strong mark, both on the planning of its urban development and on the realisation of its built envi-
ronment. From the first known regulatory plan of 1914, up to the last realised master plan of 1985,
the transition of Skopje goes from an unplanned, spontaneously built city, through visions bearing
the strong creative marks of their authors, up to new strategies for its future urban development.
SARAJEVO-MARIJIN DVOR, THE
PROGRAMME CONCEPTION OF
A SOCIALIST CITY
NINA UGLJEN ADEMOVI, ELA TURKUI (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Marijin dvor centre is one of the most attractive parts of Sarajevo, for it lies on the line of contact
between the historical core and the modern part of town. Here the city emerges from the basin and
starts its expansion towards the Sarajevo plain, developing linearly along the main city avenue. As a
result, the Marijin dvor area, from the point of view of both form and content, is the most important
connecting point in the continuity of urban development. Consideration of its conceptualisation
has lasted more than half a century for some 63 years in fact.
NEW CITIES IN SLOVENIA
(1945 - 1960)
ALENKA DI BATTISTA, MATEV ELIK (Slovenija)
Postwar industrialisation in Slovenia was accompanied by precipitated town planning. From 1947
to 1956, projects for three new cities were born: Strnie near Ptuj (later Kidrievo), Nova Gorica
and Velenje. All three cities were built as political and economic projects based on integral town
planning concepts incorporating the international paradigm of a functionalist city. Their planning
was initialised by concepts defended by CIAM in the so-called Athens Charter, by the town plan-
ning ideas of Le Corbusier and by pre-war German rationalism under the influence of the Bauhaus.
BELGRADE RESIDENTIAL
ARCHITECTURE 1950 - 1970:
A PRIVILEGED DWELLING FOR
A PRIVILEGE-FREE SOCIETY
TANJA DAMJANOVI CONLEY, JELICA JOVANOVI (Serbia)
Belgrade, like the other cities of Yugoslavia, entered World War II with a serious housing shortage.
At the close of the war, they had to come to grips with the problems arising out of the housing cri-
sis, which in Belgrade had particularly serious dimensions connected with the influx of workers,
bureaucrats and officers from all corners of the country.
CONSTRUCTING AN AFFORDABLE
ARCADIA
LUCIANO BASAURI, DAFNE BERC, MAROJE MRDULJA, DINKO PERAI, MIRANDA VELJAI (Croatia)
During the mid-1950s tourism developed on the Yugoslavian coast, aimed partially at the domestic
but above all the foreign market. Tourism became an important branch of the economy and the main
source of foreign currency for the whole of Yugoslavia. Simultaneously we saw the development of
integrated planning, covering urban design and architecture, of holidaymaking complexes guided
by modernist principles, with much attention devoted to the protection of natural resources and
controlled building density.
SPLIT III
VI NJA KUKO
WI TH: VESNA PERKOVI-JOVI (Croatia)
A total of 18 works came in for the Split III competition, from all parts of Yugoslavia, together with
a single entry from Glasgow. The work codenamed njan by Vladimir Braco Mui, Marjan Bean
and Nives Starc was unanimously pronounced the best. These architects introduced the pede-
strian street as the dominant element of the project. The network of housing streets and pedestrian
paths was placed orthogonally, following the centuriation scheme (Roman square grid) that had
been maintained in the Split area for 2000 years, while the two main mixed use commercial and
residential streets, the Dalmatian kale (calle), were placed in the line of the cardo (north-south
orientation) of the Diocletian Palace.
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
PREFABRICATED CONSTRUCTION
IN SFR YUGOSLAVIA: THE WAY FROM
SYSTEM TO TECHNOLOGY
JELENA GRBI, JELICA JOVANOVI, DRAGANA PETROVI (Serbia)
The history of prefabricated building in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, as in most of Europe,
began with the intention of making good the consequences of the destruction caused in World War II.
Still, Yugoslav prefabrication has a very specific developmental route in the wider European and global
context. Yugoslav firms put prefabrication ambitiously into practice with some considerable delay as
compared with their models in France, Scandinavia and the Soviet Union, and only once suitable condi-
tions had been established.
THE FUSION OF THE MODERN AND
THE TRADITIONAL IN BOSNIA AND
HERZEGOVINA
NINA UGLJEN-ADEMOVI, ELA TURKUI (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
The synthesis of the modern and the traditional in Bosnia and Herzegovina acquired palpable impetus
immediately following World War II, in a former Yugoslavia in which cultural diversity, which presupposed
also diversity of identity, resulted in a particular architectural language. The foundations of modern aspi-
rations in Bosnia and Herzegovina were set by the Sarajevo architects of the time (H. Baldasar, M. Baylon,
J. Finci, D. Grabrijan, L. Kabiljo, R. Kadi, M. Kadi, J. Neidhardt, D. Smiljani, I. Reis, E. amanek), who
had been trained in European centres. But for them these new ideas were at the same time a stimulus
to re-examine the reality of indigenous architecture, to search for integration.
CELLULOID BUILDING SITES
OF SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA:
CINEMATOGRAPHIC FICTION AND
IRENA ENTEVSKA (Serbia)
Despite all of the difficulties, the new Yugoslav state apparatus recognized the particular suitability of
the film industry for the affirmation of new social relations. "Our great building site of celluloid curio-
sity is not far behind in these years; nor in enthusiasm, nor in the effects of all those non-transparent
polygons, where a new world is built from the ash, from new ideology, from a new personal and common
destiny." The film will soon be treated as a new socialist art, founded on the principles of "national rea-
lism". Contemporary social reality through the movie is not presented as it is, but such as should be made
in accordance with (optimistic) expectations.
