Abstract

This article examines relationships between architecture and ideology in socialist Yugoslavia by exploring the cultural interpretation and appropriation of the Balkan house in achieving modern, specifically Yugoslav architectural expression. Through the contextualization of the period's different narratives on the Ottoman vernacular and various architectural designs related to it, the aim is to demonstrate how Yugoslav architects relied on Marxism to appropriate vernacular architecture into the modernist discourses. Dialectical materialism was used as a key for the interpretation of the opposition between what was seen as the negative and positive elements of the Balkan house, which challenged banal polarization between the traditional and modern and led to a more nuanced understanding of backwardness and progress in vernacular architecture. The idea of architectural metamorphoses of vernacular to modern forms was justified by evolution and revolution, the basic concepts of the Marxist understanding of processes in society and culture. The Yugoslav interest in the Balkan house represented a living, perceivable example of how the relationships between tradition and modernity, the past and the present, as well as men and their environment, became incorporated into new architecture of ‘socialism with a humane face’, which stood at the heart of Yugoslav social and political experiment.

辩证唯物主义的实践:社会主义南斯拉夫的巴尔干式住宅与建筑
本文探讨了社会主义南斯拉夫的建筑与意识形态之间的关系,探讨了巴尔干住宅在实现现代,特别是南斯拉夫建筑表达方面的文化解释和挪用。通过对这一时期不同的奥斯曼本土叙事和与之相关的各种建筑设计的语境化,目的是展示南斯拉夫建筑师如何依靠马克思主义将本土建筑融入现代主义话语。辩证唯物主义被用来解释巴尔干住宅的消极和积极元素之间的对立,这挑战了传统和现代之间的平庸两极分化,并导致了对乡土建筑的落后和进步的更细致的理解。进化和革命是马克思主义对社会和文化过程理解的基本概念,这证明了乡土建筑向现代形式转变的想法是合理的。南斯拉夫人对巴尔干半岛住宅的兴趣代表了一个活生生的、可感知的例子,说明传统与现代、过去与现在、以及人与环境之间的关系如何融入到“具有人道面孔的社会主义”的新建筑中,这是南斯拉夫社会和政治实验的核心。
