Sažetak
The aim of this presentation is to discuss the results of Modernist urbanisation in the first thirty years of the post-Second World War Croatia, and its fate in the times of post- Socialist nation-building. Architecture and urban planning served as a powerful political tool in the years of reconstruction and consolidation of the Yugoslav federation. Examples from Zagreb, Split, Zadar, Šibenik, and Rijeka show the accomplishments of a fervent building program, ranging from insertion of new architecture in older urban structures to new expansions bordering with existing historic towns and to comprehensive substitutions in the war-torn areas. Along with architecture’s propagandistic purpose, the political system also invested much energy, attention and funding into creation of its “intentional monuments”, that is, iconic hybrids of architecture and sculpture, commemorating the partisan movement. Presentation will focus on the building types and functions, designers and planners, materials and forms and their political and social afterlife initiated in 1990.
