abstract = "This paper addresses the aestheticization of Yugoslav architecture through the
implementation of structuralist form that took place between the early 1950s and
the late 1970s, and calls attention to the need for contemplating the relationship
between formal and intrinsic elements in architecture. An important component
of the interest for the formal issues of architecture was to make a distance from
functionalistic philosophy, which led to novel understanding of form and to the
aestheticization of architecture. Structuralist aesthetics, which was accepted in the
1950s, changed the concept of form for the concept of structure, and focused on the
elucidation of internal construction and organization. With reference to structuralist
theoretic-methodological approach, an aspiration of Yugoslav architects for
achieving inter-relationship between physical and semiotic structure via invisible
laws that define and form elements of structure is pointed out. Different aspects
of aesthetics of Yugoslav architecture reflected in various approaches for accepting
the formal principles: the recognition of constructive aesthetics and importance of
integration of constructive and formal elements of an organic entity, the interest in
relations between the elements of architectural system, the idea of fluid space, and
the evolutionary growth, development and transformation. This paper starts from
the premise that the aspiration for aestheticization of architectural form through
articulation of the unity of elements promoted Yugoslav architecture to build a
connection between formal structure of an object and the meaning of its structural
elements.",
