HOUSING POLICY AND CULTURE IN YUGOSLAVIA<br />

THE CASE OF THE EXHIBITION “HOUSING FOR OUR CONDITIONS”<br />

IN LJUBLJANA, 1956.<br />

Abstract |<br />

Housing is considered as a social program largely conditioned by dominant ideology <strong>and</strong> its<br />

apparatus. In this analysis, the apartment is taken as one of the catalysts in the relation<br />

between social <strong>and</strong> ideological conditions <strong>and</strong> individual needs. The presented study examines<br />

the relations of housing culture <strong>and</strong> housing policy during the fifties in Yugoslavia as a unified<br />

socio‐political system. The exhibition held in Ljubljana in 1956 is interpreted as a particularly<br />

significant moment in the rethinking of the living space.<br />

Key words |<br />
