Recently docomomo International informed about the exhibition “The Future as a Project | Doxiadis In Skopje”, supported by docomomo Greece.
Docomomo International is now happy to announce the release of the exhibition catalogue “The Future as a Project. Doxiadis in Skopje”. It presents for the first time Doxiadis’ work in Skopje, which includes strategic plans for the city and a new outline for the master plan. In addition, it presents the work of Kenzo Tange for Skopje’s city centre, and showcases a series of modernist buildings authored by leading Yugoslavian architects that still stand in the city today. It finally comments on ‘Skopje 2014’ project and its ‘conflict’ with the modern heritage of the city.
