One of our most popular galleries was fully dedicated to brutalism. These concrete titans have resisted around the world all attacks (climatic and from critics) with pure efficiency and integrity. The Museum of Modern Art in New York opened last July an exhibition called "Toward a Concrete Utopia", with multiple examples of Yugoslav brutalist architecture built between 1948 and 1980. The exhibition will remain on the third floor of the museum until next January 13, 2019, and today we are going to share a small sample.
The history teaches us that Yugoslavia "disappeared" in 1992, but the first cracks appeared with the death of Tito in 1980. Half a dozen armed conflicts in a little less than eleven years sowed chaos in the region; however, several representatives of Yugoslav brutalist architecture managed to survive, either escaping (in some way) the fury of war, or being rebuilt after its destruction. Some of them take part in the exhibition "Toward a Concrete Utopia" organized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
