A ‘RELATION BETWEEN RELATIONS’: SOCIALIST MASS HOUSING AND RESIDENTIAL TOWERS OF VOJVODE STEPE BOULEVARD, BELGRADE, SERBIA ; ‘ODNOS MEĐU ODNOSIMA’: SOCIJALISTIČKA STANOGRADNJA I STAMBENE KULE U BULEVARU VOJVODE STEPE U BEOGRADU
This paper investigates the residential towers of Block 10 in Vojvode Stepe Boulevard, Belgrade, Serbia. The two towers (buildings no. 39 and 40) were initially designed by Branko Aleksić in 1969 and re-designed three years later by Aleksić and his co-author, Stana Aleksić. Taking into account the housing policy of the day, the urban planning of the Boulevard and the role played by the towers’ investor, association ‘INPROS’, the paper approaches architects as intermediaries. The designers are understood as part of a network addressing Belgrade’s housing deficit, themselves navigating a tight creative space determined by forces operating beyond their control. At the same time, their work is recognized as bent on producing a distinct set of subjectivities, with each referring, individually, to a pattern of political organisation, consumer culture, gender, or class. The towers are thus probed for their capacity to act as a medium, both in themselves and as part of a larger whole. ; Ovaj rad ispituje stambene kule u Bloku 10 u Bulevaru Vojvode Stepe (Beograd). Inicjalno izrađeni 1969. godine od strane Branka Aleksića, projekti za stambene kule (zgrade br. 39 i 40) su razrađeni tri godine kasnije od strane Aleksića i ko-autora, Stane Aleksić. Uzimajući u obzir stambenu politiku, urbanistički planiranje Bulevara i ulogu koju je igrao investitor, udruženje ‘INPROS’, rad prilazi arhitektima kao posrednicima. Projektanti kula se posmatraju kao deo šire mreže aktera angažovanih na suzbijanju stambenog deficita, to jest, u poziciji da manevrišu uskim stvaralačkim prostorom određenim od strane sila koje su bile van njihove kontrole. Istovremeno, u njihovom radu se prepoznaje težnja ka proizvodnji skupa subjektivnosti, pri čemu svaka pojedinačno referiše ka obrascu političke organizacije, potrošačke kulture, roda ili klase. Stambene kule se, tako, ispituju u pogledu kapaciteta da deluju kao medij, zasebno i kao deo veće celine.
