    PROJECT 2010 2012

    UNFINISHED MODERNISATIONSBETWEEN UTOPIA AND PRAGMATISM

    ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNINGIN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA AND ITSSUCCESSOR STATESUnfinished 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 field 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 reflections 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 influenced

    by the concepts of modernisation and the social experiment of construction in the self-government

    socialist society, and what influence 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 specific cultural phenomenon. Unfinished

    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 final 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 MIHELIBreda 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

    NICHOLAS FOX WEBERNicholas 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 ofthe 20th century.

    OWEN HATHERLEYOwen 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.

    STANKO KRISTLStanko 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 forhospital 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.

    UNFINISHED MODERNISATIONS

    V+II POINTS ON ARCHITECTURE AND

    IDEOLOGYNIK A 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 SAVALANA 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.

    BELGRADE TRANSFORMATIONSIVAN KUCINA, MILICA TOPALOVI

    WITH: DUBRAVKA SEKULI, BRANKO BEL AEVI (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 appearanceof an unplanned concrescence of diversified leftovers comprised of interrupted attempts to achieve

    comprehensive urbanity.

    SKOPJE URBAN TRANSFORMATIONS,CONSTRUCTING THE BUILTENVIRONMENT IN DIFFERENT

    SOCIO-POLITICAL CONTEXTSDIVNA PEN I, 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.

    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, MATEVELIK (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 townplanning 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.

    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.

    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.

    WITH: VESNA PERKOVI-JOV I(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-southorientation) of the Diocletian Palace.

    THE CHARACTERISTICS OFPREFABRICATED CONSTRUCTIONIN SFR YUGOSLAVIA: THE WAY FROMSYSTEM TO TECHNOLOGYJELENA GRB I, 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 ANDTHE TRADITIONAL IN BOSNIA ANDHERZEGOVINANIN A UGLJEN-A DEMOVI, ELA TURKU I (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 presupposedalso 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 SITESOF SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA:CINEMATOGRAPHIC FICTION ANDUNFINISHED MODERNISATIONSIRENAENTEVSKA (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-transparentpolygons, 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.
