The current condition of the New Belgrade blocks that, indeed, can be characterised as obsolete and not adequately maintained, even degraded, is nevertheless a perfect platform for reading of the architecture and the space values, and how it was changing during the time. The study aim was reading the unforeseen impulses of modernism: identification and mapping of socio-spatial relations in environment (reactions on and interventions in space that were generated during the time), reading and interpreting them as impulses of the user behaviours and lifestyles, and further proposing future transformation tactics using the mapped elements and principles. The research framework was a workshop-seminar organized by the authors at the Faculty of Architecture in Belgrade. Using this research tactic, the particular elements and spaces within the blocks were mapped, identified, classified and systematized according to their flexibility to react and accept contemporary impulses of life. The study reveals common spaces of the New Belgrade blocks, or spaces between private and public, as the key elements in managing the urban decay and prompting adaptation, and hence investigates on the potential of their adaptive reuse initiating transformation of the whole area, and further achieving its attractiveness, openness and better accessibility. }}, author = {{Dragutinovic, Anica and Nikezic, Ana}}, booktitle = {{100 YEARS BAUHAUS: What interest do we take in Modern Movement today?}}, editor = {{Pottgiesser, Uta and Jaschke, Franz and Melenhorst, Michel}}, pages = {{ 32--45}}, publisher = {{Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe}}, title = {{{Unforeseen Impulses of Modernism: The Case of New Belgrade Blocks}}}, doi = {{10.25644/J4D2-6227}}, year = {{2020}}, } @inproceedings{5102, author = {{Pottgiesser, Uta and Jaschke, Franz and Melenhorst, Michel}}, location = {{Berlin}}, publisher = {{DOCOMOMO}}, title = {{{100 Years Bauhaus.

What role do cultural and climatic conditions play in the preservation, renovation and transformation of spaces, buildings, and modern movement sites? How can the basic ideas of classical modernism be continued 100 years later and thus contribute to solving current challenges?

As elsewhere in post-war Europe, affordable housing was high on the agenda in Socialist Yugoslavia. The right to a residence was an imperative of the socialist state, which set an enormous housing construction program so that each family could be housed in its own apartment. To meet the huge housing needs, another imperative was to build quickly and cheaply. New Belgrade, a project for the capital of the newly founded socialist state, eventually became the biggest construction field for providing societally owned flats for tens of thousands of inhabitants. The demand for huge amounts of flats, efficient construction and lowcosts dictated the optimization of design, standardization, and rationalization. The paper investigates the design of New Belgrade flats focusing on different aspects of the “minimum” that were applied. It additionally analyses how compared to the interwar concepts the perspective on the minimal needs changed. Furthermore, it compares these standards and needs with the actual ones. The research aims to trace these changing perspectives on minimum, to rethink the modernist minimum dwelling and explore how it relates and reflects the minimum in design today. }}, author = {{Dragutinovic, Anica and Pottgiesser, Uta and Melenhorst, Michael}}, booktitle = {{100 Years Bauhaus.

The conference will be organized in four sessions – tools, methods, interdisciplinarity, research – focusing on the fundaments and on the advanced issues of the design process related to the Reuse of Modernist Buildings (RMB). Architecture education is facing new challenges due to crises of the globalisation and climate change, that has strong impacts on the role of the architect today. The profession is changing and therefore different ways of training architects are demanded. This question is especially relevant for the renovation of those urban areas where modernist buildings from the second part of the 20th century are waiting for strategic interventions – to be repaired, to be renewed, to be reconstructed or to be demolished. The architect needs new tools because just drawing is not enough anymore to understand neither the building nor the people who live there. The methodologies are more complex because they have to integrate not only the technical and spatial dimension but also the social one. This inclusive approach demands not only for new tools but also needs the dialogue with other disciplines, promoting an effective interdisciplinarity. Considering these topics, the architecture classroom is becoming more lab than a workshop, where new tools and methods are researched and explored, developing hypotheses that are tested in the design studios.}}, editor = {{Melenhorst, Michael and Canto Moniz , Goncalo and Providencia , Paulo}}, isbn = {{978-989-99432-9-2}}, location = {{Coimbra, Portugal}}, title = {{{Teaching through Design}}}, doi = {{10.25644/8cfy-2h02}}, year = {{2018}}, } @misc{11300, author = {{Melenhorst, Michel and Providência, Paulo and Moniz, Concalo Canto}}, booktitle = {{ Joelho : JOURNAL OF ARCHITECTURAL CULTURE}}, issn = {{1647-8681}}, pages = {{6--21}}, publisher = {{Colégio das Artes}}, title = {{{Reuse of Modernist Buildings: pedagogy and profession}}}, volume = {{9}}, year = {{2018}}, } @proceedings{1102, abstract = {{Since 2000 (in the beginning 21st Century) climate change and globalisation have influenced the actual world and all societies tremendously and the have also affected the way we are building.

During the 80 years long history, the purpose of the Old Belgrade Fairground has been changed several times creating multilayered identity of the urban complex. The Modern exhibition space of the inter-war period was transformed into the infamous concentration camp during WWII. Structures that survived the bombings were re-used as a habitat for youth brigades that participated in the construction of New Belgrade, while its previous purposes were suppressed. During the rebuilding of the city in the post-war period, the Old Belgrade Fairground was ignored.

Nevertheless, Modernist Architecture of the Inter-war Yugoslavia (Kingdom of Yugoslavia), and specially Modernist Architecture of the Post-war Yugoslavia (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under the "reign" of Tito), represents the most important architectural heritage of the 20th century in former Yugoslavian countries. Belgrade, as the capital city of both newly founded Yugoslavia(s), experienced an immediate economic, political and cultural expansion after the both wars, as well as a large population increase. The construction of sufficient and appropriate new housing was a major undertaking in both periods (1919-1940 and 1948-1980), however conceived and realized with deeply diverging views. The transition from villas and modest apartment buildings, as main housing typologies in the Inter-war period, to the mass housing of the Post-war period, was not only a result of the different socio-political context of the two Yugoslavia(s), but also the country's industrialization, modernization and technological development. Through the classification of Modernist housing buildings in Belgrade, this paper will investigate on relations between the transformations of the main housing typologies executed under different socio-political contexts on the one side, and development of building technologies, construction systems and materials applied on those buildings on the other side. The paper wants to shed light on the Yugoslavian Modernist Architecture in order to increase the international awareness on its architectural and heritage values.
