In this thought-provoking presentation, Dr. Stojiljković unravels the avant-garde inclinations of Yugoslav socialism, where the concept of synthesis reigned supreme in architecture and visual arts.
Discover how this movement challenged traditional functionalist and formalist ideas, embracing organic systems that harmonise the natural and built environments. Vjenceslav Richter, a visionary architect, played a pivotal role in developing the concept of synthesis, culminating in his groundbreaking theory of “synthurbanism.”
Richter’s vision was deeply rooted in the principles of a socialist society, emphasising harmonious relations between individuals and the collective, as well as the integration of the biological and social aspects of human existence.
Join us to explore the broader context of synthetic thought in Yugoslav society and how Richter’s utopian model envisioned sustainable urban living.
