CULTURAL COMPLEX INSTEAD OF A MONUMENT (08 Wick
VERSA): APOTHEDSIS OF MODERNIZATION % What was the
secial contest lkein the period when the Home of Revolution
was being built? Inthe 1970s in Yugosiavia, the post-war mod-
cemisaton was conceptually finalised: new cites were set up,
the infrastructure of socal services was built, new typologies
cof hybsid cultural cenives were tested and a huge number of
monuments to revolution was constructed. The most signifi-
cant project of the 19705 were basicaly international: tour-

the preblem was that there was neither a cultural institution

satistied the ambitions of the pranned monument. Moreover,
in the 1970s, progressive culture wes no longer represented
