As a founding nation of the Non-Aligned Movement, Yugoslavia became a major exporter of modernist architecture to Africa and the Middle East in a postcolonial world. By merging a variety of local traditions and contemporary international influences in the context of a unique Yugoslav brand of socialism, often described as the \"Third Way,\" local architects produced a veritable \"parallel universe\" of modern architecture during the 45 years of the country's existence. This remarkable body of work has sparked recurrent international interest, yet a rigorous interpretative study never materialized in the United States until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in conjunction with a major exhibition on the architectural production of Yugoslavia between 1948 and 1980, this is the first publication to showcase an understudied but important body of modernist architecture. Featuring new scholarship and previously unpublished archival materials, this richly illustrated publication sheds light on key ideological concepts of Yugoslav architecture, urbanism and society by delving into the exceptional projects and key figures of the era, among them Bogdan Bogdanovic, Zoran Bojovic, Drago Galic, Janko Konstantinov, Georgi Konstantinovski, Niko Kralj, Boris Magas, Juraj Neidhardt, Joze Plecnik, Svetlana Kana Radevic, Edvard Ravnikar, Vjenceslav Richter, Milica Steric, Ivan Straus and Zlatko Ugljen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Stierli, Martino Stierli (Text by (Art\/Photo Books)), Vladimir Kulic (Editor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633450516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 9.70w x 0.90d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42130874826826,"sku":"9781633450516","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/8990\/4435\/files\/toward-a-concrete-utopia-architecture-in-yugoslavia-1948-1980-9781633450516.jpg?v=1749107272","url":"https:\/\/trnk-nyc.mom\/products\/toward-a-concrete-utopia-architecture-in-yugoslavia-1948-1980","provider":"TRNK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
