  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."
