Summary/Abstract: The city of Skopje is an interesting urban and architectural phenomenon. Positioned at the crossroads of important trade and economic routes, going through turbulent times throughout history, it contains overlapped architectural layers, each witnessing and corresponding to various cultural influences, and carrying different ideas of urban and architectural development (medieval Byzantine, Ottoman, pre-modern, modern, late-modern, post-socialist). Within this collection of “parts,” 20th century architecture – especially the one built after the earthquake of 1963 – occupies a special place and significance, both in terms of quantity and quality.
