Croatia is awash with Modernist buildings constructed during its Yugoslavian era, most of which have been abandoned and are quietly decaying.
hen we think of Croatia, angular concrete is not the first thing that springs to mind. Instead it’s images of yachts and jetset types at bijou boutique hotels on pebble beaches—and maybe even a bit ofnerdery at walled medieval cities thrown in. But while driving a stretch of the 1,100-mile coastline, or further off the beaten track in rural suburbs, you’ll likely run into a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture—they’re dotted all over the country.
Just briefly; a Yugoslavia 101: The country was created as a monarchy in 1918, uniting the Slavic countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia , Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia. It was invaded by the Axis powers in 1941, King Peter II dashed away into exile, a people’s partisan army formed to defend itself, led by Josip Broz Tito.
Yugoslav hotel architecture pushed the boundaries of what is usually found in such buildings, Professor Mrduljas explains, “proving that unique spaces are not necessarily a privilege of the few but can be designed for the greatest number” he says. You still get this sense while wandering through the huge, devastated site, broken glass underfoot and graffiti at every turn.
