  text: In 2022, Docomomo International launched a call for papers on Modern Movement
    in Ukraine together with Docomomo Ukraine. More than 20 proposals were received,
    most of them from authors based in Ukraine itself—despite the difficult circumstances.
    The Docomomo Journal 67 presented a first selection of those articles to display
    regional and architectural particularities and current challenges of archiving,
    documenting, protecting, and preserving the modern heritage. Nearly 100 examples
    of Ukrainian modern buildings were presented in a graphical overview. The modern
    Ukranian architecture was dominated by Constructivism from the mid-1920s to the
    early 1930s, with Kharkiv as the epicenter of production, while Socialist Realism
    with the Stalin Empire emerged from 1932, lasting until 1955, with Kyiv as the
    capital of Ukraine. From December 1919 to January 1934, Kharkiv was the first
    capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the cultural, economic,
    and educational center of the new Ukrainian Republic. The status as new capital
    led to prestigious master plans and construction projects, among them the world-famous
    Derzhprom building at Freedom Square–as a symbol of Constructivism–or the Kharkiv
    Tractor Factory–as a symbol of the industrialization of agriculture. The leading
    role of Kharkiv as a forerunner and capital of Constructivism is often expressed
    by the famous State Industry House (Derzhprom) built from 1925 to 1928. Being
    the only modern ensemble in Ukraine nominated as UNESCO World Heritage, it became
    and still is the focus of identification and pride—despite the many controversial
    reflections and discussions about the conservation efforts and changes carried
    out since the original construction in the 1950s and after the year 2000. This
    explains the many articles dealing with Freedom Square and Dherzprom as a reaction
    to the call for papers in 2022 and also Docomomo International’s commitment to
    dedicate this special issue of the Docomomo Journal to Kharkiv under the title
    From Constructivism to Modernism in Kharkiv.

  text: "This issue of Docomomo Journal on the architects Dušan Grabrijan (1899-1952)
    and Juraj Neidhardt (1901-1979) keeps with the tradition of collaboration and
    discourse. The authors investigate, describe, and interpret the friendship, exchange,
    and works of both architects and their role in the modernization of Yugoslav architecture
    since the 1920s based on their international experience. Grabjian, the first graduate
    of Jože Plečnik at the University of Ljubljana, went to study in Paris in 1925-26,
    and Neidhardt worked in the studio of Le Corbusier in Paris from 1933-35.\r\nBoth
    Grabrijan and Neidhardt played crucial roles in articulating a Yugoslavian architectural
    identity that straddled modernism and regionalism. Their work in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    was groundbreaking in its insistence that modern architecture could not simply
    be imported from the West; it had to be adapted to the local climate, materials,
    and ways of life. They both remain influential in the study of how architecture
    can reconcile the tension between modern abstraction and regional specificity,
    and their work continues to be studied as a model for integrating global and local
    architectural practices."
