Belgrade: Savez arhitekata, 1960?1987. Quartos (34 ? 23.5 cm). Original pictorial, color printed wrappers, partly staple-stitched; between 40 and 200 pp. per issue, with numerous photographic architectural views as well as reproduced sketches, floor plans, drafts, as well as plans of streets, squares, urban areas, new development areas, etc., sporadically printed in color. Some wrappers with signs of wear; three wrappers damaged by glue residue; a few issues with a few pages stuck together; few leaves with creases; overall, however, a series in good to very good condition; especially the particularly well-known and important numbers in very good condition. Complete run of the important Yugoslav journal, the pendant to the later journal ?Urbanizam Beograda? in terms of content and style. Both journals took up the avant-garde concept of the magazine ?Das neue Frankfurt? and developed it further. However, while ?Urbanizam Beograda? focused solely on developments in Belgrade, the longer-lived periodical ?Arhitektura Urbanizam? documented architectural debates and projects throughout the entire territory of the former Yugoslavia. The bi-monthly journal was initiated by the Union of Architectural Associations of Yugoslavia and the Union of Urban Planning Associations of Yugoslavia. The members of the editorial board, the editorial board and the editor-in-chief (until no. 69 Oliver Mini?, then among others Zoran ?unkovi?, Zoran B. Petrovi?, Aleksej Brki?, and Ranko Radovi?) were among the most renowned architects, planners, and theorists from all over Yugoslavia at the time. The journal analyzed the architectural and urban development of Yugoslavia in detail, supplemented by critical observations on applied art and design. However, not only analysis and theory were printed in richly illustrated form, but tenders and competitions were also published, as well as book reviews. Especially until the founding of ?Urbanizam Beograda? (1969), there was extensive reporting on the planning in Belgrade, as well as discussion and documentation of the new buildings. Thus, the second issue (1960) dealt, among other things, with the urban planning solution for the center of New Belgrade. (On this and the following see: Dijana Mila?inovi?-Mari?, entry on ?Arhitektura Urbanizam? in the Serbian Encyclopaedia). Besides housing, the focus was primarily on public buildings, such as schools, universities, student residences, hospitals, airports, trade fair buildings, industrial buildings, department stores, and agricultural enterprises, and so on. The emphasis was not only on effectiveness and rationality (such as prefabricated construction), but also on the synthesis of fine art, design, and architecture. Particularly significant is issue no. 74/77, which is entirely dedicated to residential construction (edited by Darko Maru?i?). It was conceived as a catalog with an overview of all competitions and realized residential buildings, building groups, and complexes in Belgrade and Novi Sad between 1965 and 1975. This special issue was only reprinted a few years ago. For generations of architects and designers, it is said to have been regarded as the ?bible of housing.? But the journal not only made a name for itself internationally with publications on pioneering modern design and functional architecture in glass, steel, and concrete. In addition to articles on contemporary architecture, it also published articles on architectural history, for example on sacred architecture in Serbia in the Middle Ages, as well as detailed articles on monument preservation and restoration. The topic was so important that No. 64 was devoted entirely to the protection and reconstruction of buildings and architectural ensembles of art-historical value in various parts of the country. Internationally, however, the lack of financial means to protect monuments was observed with concern. (Cf. Osteuropa, vol. 22, no. 2, February 1972, pp. A115-A116) From the late 1970s onwards, pos.
