Regionalizam kao novokomponirani izraz u arhitekturi
Regionalism as a Newly-Composed Expression in Architecture

Summary/Abstract: In the contemporary newly-composed regionalistic architecture pictorial - narrative - descriptive and illustrative parts are always linked to a motif taken from the local, folklore architecture. The problems of composition, kind of designing and artistic values are suppressed by the sticking to the motif. Artistic demands are minimal or are mostly totally ignored and the demands for the representation of the motif are maximally stressed. This is the reason why newly composed regionalism is realization of kitsch, with buildings put together with compiled well known and often used forms. The narrative - illustrative manipulation with forms has the task to hide the problems of spatial values. Behind such attempts, to make environments which should, by the means of illustration, compensate something unsatisfied in the dispositions and spiritual states, stands a strong and wide spread emotional charge. This emotional charge asks for satisfaction through the naive attempt to change the situation through an idyllically designed environment, to achieve sanctuary, and satisfy untranquilities in an harmless world illustrated in a manner of stage set. Complex life situations and origins of neuroses can not be solved with figurative illustrations in architecture. Architecture and illustrations are not a very appropriate tool for the satisfying and solving problems and aspirations which did not arose from architecture and which caused conflicts. This is the reason why results of sticking to idyllically - romantic - sentimental patterns, characteristic for the new-composed sub-cultural production, give sad and poor results in the aspects of artistic and in the aspect of influence on the frames of mind. From the history of art we can see that every motif can be used for the creation of a masterpiece of art. The entire problem of the newly- composed regionalism, in its mass-production, is that people who try to conceal their weaknesses in design resort to illustrations.
