| Title | Broken Mechanism: Architectural Competitions for Administrative Buildings in Interwar Belgrade |
| Summary | The majority of competitions for administrative buildings in interwar Belgrade gave unsuccessful results, consequently constructed buildings present differences between their shapes and competition projects. In this thesis I analyze factors, which obstructed the work of competitions in the case of administrative buildings. The first part of research is based on the examination of key institutions involved in the architectural process and their influence on the competitive practice. Secondly, I investigate the development of the competitive practice on the whole and problems, which appeared in different stages. On the base of case studies presented in the third chapter this thesis reveals that unsuccessful results of competitions for administrative buildings were connected with the gap between architectural development and stylistic preferences of state institutions. The hypothesis of research is that the character of problems in the competitions changed during the growth of the divergence between directions of architectural searches and demands of state institutions. |
