Ideology And Architecture: The Work Of Belgrade Modernist From 1929 To 1987

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the influence of ideology and politics on the development of modern architecture in Yugoslavia. The research focuses on the work of Dušan Babić, Jan Dubovy, Branislav Kojić, and Milan Zloković– four of the founders of the Modern Architects Group (Grupa arhitekata modernog pravca – GAMP) in Belgrade. The paper deals not only with the period in which GAMP was active (1929-1934), but also with the activities of its founding members after the group ceased to exist up until World War II, and in the post-war period. Accordingly, the paper encompasses two different social contexts: the monarchist or capitalist era of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the republican or socialist period after the war. Therefore, the paper focuses on the manner in which the building of modernist structures in Belgrade embodied the demands of the ideology of integral yugoslavianism during the 6 January Dictatorship of King Aleksandar Karađorđević, as well as on the debates concerning different perceptions of the specificity of Yugoslav architecture with regard to Western modernism and socialist realism after 1945.
