ENDANGERED ARCHITECTURAL SPECIES

We are happy to agree with our client NOT to extend this iconic cabin from the 80’s on Jahorina, rather to keep the spirit of Yugoslav modernism alive. The ongoing building activities on Jahorina very much remind on Christopher Long’s blurb for the book MODERNISM IN-BETEEN – THE MEDIATORY ARCHITECTURES OF SOCIALIST YUGOSLAVIA:

‘Yugoslavia is certainly the most miraculous of the ‘defunct countries’ of the recent past: although it started to disintegrate more than twenty years ago, its past appears more modern than the present of many of its successors states, not only in an aesthetic but also in a more general, intellectual sense.’
