Sažetak
Union Internationale des Architectes (UIA), established in 1948, is the umbrella institution of national professional associations that deals with the issues of modern urbanism and architecture, regardless of the ideological superstructure. The networking of Croatian, i.e. Yugoslav architects with the UIA coincided with the establishment of political and economic relations between Yugoslavia and the West, and the opening of Yugoslav borders. This was all a part of the same tendency of spreading the idea of peace and international collaboration, which was elaborated also within the Resolution of Principles of Struggle for Peace, published in 1951, in the vocational journal Urbanizam – Arhitektura. Upon them becoming members, in 1951, on the second UIA congress held in Rabat under the title How Architecture is Dealing with its New Tasks, the Polish architect Helena Syrkus, the member of the UIA’s executive committee, voiced her protest, orchestrated by the Soviet Union. Poland boycotted the congress, while the Federal Union of Associations of Yugoslavia Architects seized the opportunity to gain international recognition by presenting at the International Architecture Exhibition – held on the occasion of the congress – the efforts of self-managing socialism invested in renovation and reconstruction. The presentation examined this lesser-known episode in the history of Croatian and Yugoslav architecture in the 20th century by analysing both perspectives – on one hand, the efforts invested in order to network the Croatian architects into the UIA, which went beyond the vocational frameworks and had much wider implications, and the on the other hand Helena Syrkus’ perspective namely her political motives and arguments.
