The author is Professor of History of Modern Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, received his M.Sc in architecture and town-planning in Belgrade and at the Athens Center of Ekistics, Athens, Greece, and his Ph. D at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade. He is the author of many books including Computer Atlas of Belgrade (Belgrade, 1976, second edition in Serbian and English as Research into the Urban Structure of Belgrade, Belgrade, 2002), Lessons of the Past (Belgrade, 1985), four volumes on the history of modern architecture in the world 1750 to present, Serbian 20th Century Architecture: From Historicisim to Second Modernism (Belgrade, 2003), and numerous articles published in scientific and professional journals. He has had one-man exhibitions of his experimental town-planning projects in Ljubljana (1977), Zagreb(1978), Belgrade (1978), Paris (1981), Dublin (1981), and at the Gallery of the Royal Institute of British Architects in London (1986). He has lectured at New York University, the Institute of Fine Arts (New York), Princeton University, Columbia University (New York), Ohio State University (Columbus), Athens Center of Ekistics, University of Cambridge (UK), and the Royal Institute of British Architects. The text that follows was one of several interviews of Dr Perovió with selected participants in the Delos Symposia (international meetings on boardship organized by the Athens Center of Ekistics, 1963-1972) first published in the journal Sinteza (Ljubljana) and later in a separate book entitled Dialogues with the Delians in both Serbian and English, Ljublijana, 1978.

The Relationship

Slowing economic growth, failures of a number of reforms, and rising social tensions are problems encountered in many countries. K.V. Rudy, assistant to the President of the Republic of Belarus for economic issues (2013–2016), brought together a number of leading scientists of the Republic of Belarus and attempted to analyze the failure of the economic policy implemented by him during his public service. As one of the main reasons that the reform of the Belarusian economy could not be carried out according to the planned plan, he calls the culture of Belarusians and offers his view on the cultural matrix of Belarus. The monograph also offers a solution to the identified problem through decoding the economy by changing the cultural matrix, which should proceed in three directions: economic, institutional and socio-logical. The authors see economic decoding in improving the investment climate in order to attract foreign investment; institutional decoding – in changing existing economic, social and innovative development institutions; socio-logical decoding – in using educational paternalism through improving the education system, socio-political transformation by means of nudge ("nudge") and the renewal of the political system, which implies a multi-party system. Discussing the experience of a particular country, the authors of the monograph touch on an important topic of studying the influence of culture on the economy. The history of research on the relationship between economy and culture is rich, but the materials of the post- Soviet countries are of an isolated nature. The review discusses methodological issues that are fundamentally important in the organization of such research and substantiates the relevance of scientific analysis of this topic on the example of Russia.

Specific Conservation

This paper critically explores the relationship between the history of modern architecture and restoration of the modern, identifying connections and discrepancies between the contexts of the two disciplines. It finds the cause of the latter in the unstable structure of the history of modern architecture, which is changing rapidly from many points of view. It highlights how this situation can easily lead to problems and controversy over the restoration of the modern and especially over the specific conservation techniques designed to maintain its authenticity. Two famous images of Walter Benjamin are used to quickly underline the contradictions in which restoration may fall, those of the angel of history and of the pearl diver, taking them as a historical paradox. The purpose is also to underline the questions which accumulate around the history of the tradition of the modern.

The Relationship

The article is devoted to the methodology of organization of functional processes of vital activity in architecture in the form of spatial structures. The primary foundations of the generation and emergence of new forms in modern architecture are considered and comprehended. It is shown that the study of a number of modern architecture objects that mark the history of the formation of the modern movement, through analysis, comparison and identifi cation of unique spatial structures, allows us to establish the relationship between the formalism of modern architecture and the new content of the newest architecture. It is noted that modern architecture in its development is able to rely on its own constituent internal forces, transforming primarily the idea of the organization of the functional structure of space. Today the well-known principles of modern architecture used in architecture by the pioneers of the international movement are freely interpreted and developed by many leaders of the newest architecture. The newest architecture demonstrates an intensifi ed search for new methods of spatial thinking solely for the sake of a breakthrough to new principles of shaping in architecture.
