Neo-avant-garde and Reformed Modernism in Zagreb

After World War II and the imposition of Iron Curtain, direct exchanges between Central and Eastern Europe and the Western world considerably waned in intensity. Architects from Central and Eastern Europe had to face ideological turmoil, short-lived imposition of socialist realism, limited ability to travel, and new structural position of architectural profession within planned economy. Geo-political position of socialist Yugoslavia, situated in-between East and West, didn’t significantly affect that scheme, but two preconditions: openness of the borders and Yugoslav’s strategic necessity to internationally communicate its own societal development, helped international exchanges of knowledge. These exchanges were discontinuous and limited in scope, but they nevertheless formed some of the most exciting architectural achievements in Yugoslavia.
