Title of the work

Nel blu dipinto di blu

 

Short description of the work

Explaining a sketch is not unlike explaining a song.
In a song the right arrangement of words can confer different meanings and stimulate creativity or arouse emotions. In the same way, in a sketch the position of lines and colours can define a new creative path.

 

“Penso che un sogno cosi’ non ritorni mai piu’,
mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu.
Poi d’improvviso venivo dal vento rapito,
e incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito.

 

Volare, oh oh,
cantare, oh oh oh oh.
Nel blu dipinto di blu,
felice di stare lassu’.

 

E volavo volavo felice
piu’ in alto del sole ed ancora piu’ su
mentre il mondo pian piano spariva
lontano laggiu’.
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me.

 

Volare, oh oh
cantare, oh oh oh oh.
Nel blu dipinto di blu
felice di stare lassu’. […]”
from Domenico Modugno song, “Nel blu dipinto di blu”

Images

 

Short description of the work

The new architecture of the 1960s and 1970s is not only represented by the physical artefacts which redefined the basic postulates of the previous functionalistic approach, but it also created a new visual basis for representing architecture. The images of that period of the work of Konstantinovski show and also highlight architecture as a constitutive, and at the same time as an autonomous architectural artefacts.

Brutally Fractured Patterns

 

Short description of the work

The disastrous natural and cultural origin of the brutally fractured patterns on the urban map of Skopje, seems to signify a scarified palimpsest of conflicting architectural layers. Nonetheless, to locate a certain historical stratum in the urban development of the city of Skopje as the original urban physiognomy is a highly questionable act. This exit from the architectural realm and the transgression towards traditional embroidery patterns allows us to critically maneuver at a safe distance from conflicting architectural viewpoints and pull the loose threads of the
urban map of Skopje from outside. That way we might employ embroidery as an ornamental way of stitching together historically and politically torn and fractured architectural patterns in new creative contexts. One might ask what is the relation of traditional embroidery and brutalist architecture, is not the escapade into the domain of textiles too safe of a distance to be of any relevance to contemporary theory of architecture ?

Trainspotting

 

Short description of the work

The anthropological standpoint that sees the particular reading of the ‘modern’ embedded in its key conceptual resource, the idea of the dynamic ‘cognitive map’, is crucial for understanding of the processes that influence the paradigm shift from the traditional to the modern reading of the city and by which the particular phases of the modern discourse can be identified. In the theory of perception the ‘movement’ defined by the Athens chapter as a synonym of the ‘functional city’ gains the role of a visual instrument, by which it is possible to create legible visual matrixes and then transmit them into a complex mental picture of the surrounding. The particular cinematic sequences of that picture generated by the transportation systems, create visual narratives whose strength lies in the permanent production of new interpretations of meanings. Two iconic buildings in Skopje from different generations of the Modern are benchmarking the local discourse paradigm shifts from ‘early modern’ through ‘doctrinaire modern’ to ‘late modern’: The Skopje Railway Station (Velimir Gavrilović, 1937) and the Transportation Centre (Kenzo Tange, 1980). Hereby, we present them as narrative tributes to the image of modern Skopje.

Lost In Translation

 

Short description of the work

Skopje an Europan Capitale through non sense ʺantiquisationʺ or unique European brutalism belonging to a web of extraordinary utopian project? By choosing a neoclassical decorum that is only a falsification of architecture and politics, Skopje did not make the choice of a ʺRenaissanceʺ, as Tange suggested in 1965, but of a great spring backwards, as others cities have done before. Rather than joining communities by a system architecture, which could be strengthened, but which made its identity, the capital chose to freeze its architectural future with the falsification of its image. And to ally itself with the merciless impoverishment of its values without bet on its European uniqueness. Who wins: false democracy of popular architecture or the populism of a false architecture?

The Future is Brutal

 

Short description of the work

In the future, many things will be changed. The sky above Skopje will have two suns and spaceships will fly over our squares. People will look different, wearing new outfits that will allow for easier movement and survival in the new world. However, there will be much fewer of them left, as a consequence of the poor air quality and the continuous deterioration of the conditions for sustaining life. In the harsh circumstances of the future, what will survive is the city’s brutal architecture. Brutality will be a reminder of the damage done by men as a consequence of the lack of a greater vision and solidarity.

Brutalismo tettonico

 

Short description of the work

Il disegno vuole sondare, attraverso la rielaborazione di una foto di Lucia La Giusa del MoCA – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Klyszewski, Mokrzynski e Wierzbicki del 1970, la possibilità di riconoscere anche nell’apparato figurale brutalista, di norma affidato alla parete, un assetto tettonico. Un assetto che connette in maniera evidente e riconoscibile alcuni elementi della costruzione (colonne, travi, vetrate) e non solo masse continue e opache per consentire, come in nel caso del MoCA per la sua posizione elevata, una apertura ala paesaggio urbano e naturale.

A Tame Modernism

 

Short description of the work

The text proposes a reflection on the dimension of tame modernism. The realization of Kenzo Tange’s project for Skopje is read as evidence of the reconciliation between the heroic dimension and the domestic condition of the project. These two opposite natures, which the fragment of modernity holds together, continue to face each other inside but at the same time propose a possible useful cohabitation to the paths of contemporary architecture.

Skopje. A Transitional Model
Text by Jana Konstantinova and Anna Positano – Photographs by Anna Positano

 

Short description of the work

Skopje is a case study to analyse contemporary architecture and identity in the Balkans, in the light of the current Macedonian political affairs and urban transformations. Several cultures and long-lasting migrations shaped Skopje’s urban fabric. Yet the city is mostly the result of political choices of the last fifty years. In 1963 the global political response to Skopje’s earthquake profoundly affected the city. As the Cold War reached its climax, international efforts to rebuild the city had the objective to pursue a global political stability. With the support of the United Nations, the Yugoslavian government adopted Kenzo Tange’s reconstruction plan of brutalist buildings, which made Skopje a modern, utopian metropolis. When Macedonia gained independence in 1991, nationalist politics changed the identity of Skopje’s architecture. The Socialist, international post-quake architecture could not represent Macedonian identity any more. Along with slow political transition, in 2010 the government announced a plan of urban renovation, Skopje 2014. The plan is turning Skopje’s brutalist heritage into neo-neoclassical buildings. The new confused and scattered built environment takes apart the civil society from architecture. This in combination with a young, uncertain political situation affects people’s personal and socio-cultural values. The plan attracted strong criticism since its announcement. Protesters have taken to the streets of Skopje and recently have turned into a Colourful Revolution against the general cultural austerity. Similar to other former Socialist countries, Skopje appears unable to re-examine and evaluate its architectural past. A city that once was the model of global architectural solidarity, now offers a case study of transitional post-Socialist dystopia.

Skopje’s Mega Block: modern architecture as an art of grafting

 

Short description of the work

The formative idea of “grafting” or “graftage” is originally a horticultural technique of inserting tissues from one plant to another in order for them to join together and continue to grow as a single plant. The technique of “graftage” in architectural context would mean that a new architecture is being interpolated over an old one, but by a set of treatments used, the different architectural interventions function as a single entity. It is presented in this text in the context of modern architecture of one singular urban block of Skopje.
