The Socialist Sarajevo: between heritage and modernity
In the early 1960s, when Bosnia and Herzegovina was renamed to Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo experienced an exponential growth and an economic and demographic boom that exceeded the availability of housing. To remedy this growth peripheral areas were occupied by newly built districts - “residential colonies”, which among other things reflected the gigantism of the socialist period, and proposed a system made up of blocks and super-blocks scattered in open territories. The architectural panorama was enriched by a series of new architectural editions, expressly inspired by the principles of functionalism and rationalism of the Bauhaus. All this has been created on the foundations made by a group of architects who returned to Sarajevo, and in Bosnia Herzegovina in general, after they had been trained in the most important European schools of architecture. Work of the new generations of Yugoslav architects marked a shift at the architectural scene in the 1960s who experimented with the “modernist” interpretations of authentic local architectural expression. The paper intends to retrace some of the main stages of “modernization” of Sarajevo and highlight the singularity of architectural production that is, internationally, still unknown.
