Sažetak
The paper explores the potential of the modernist discourse in a new approach to interpreting urban legacy of city planning at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. As Ákos Moravánsky pointed out, the multitude of relationships were making the area of Central Europe dynamic, but also redefining the previously unidirectional relationship between the metropolis and the provincial areas. The starting point are the specific forms that characterise architectural culture, its networks and formations which were considered as periphery in comparison to the metropolitan centres of European modernism and still belong to the marginal sphere of great historiographic narratives. Instead of binary opposition between “centre” and “margins”, the paper brings into the spotlight context of representational models and their formative impact on conceptualisations of city planning at the turn of the century. Special attention is paid to the networks in cultural transfers, such as Wagnerschule, whose collaborators played a formative role in urban transformations of the period. The activities and relations of former Wagner’s students, particularly Viktor Kovačić, Jan Kotĕra, Franz Matouschek, Hans Kestranek and Leopold Bauer, analysed in the frame of cultural exchange, as symptoms of debate and strategies of radical gestures or “small” changes promoting new ideas in city planning, as articulation of modernist discourse. The argument presented brings into the spotlight the dialogue between models of exchange as a continuity of modernist language in “diaspora” after the fall of the Empire.
