Brutalism in Slovenia

Slovenia built its modern housing stock within socialist Yugoslavia, where architects enjoyed unusual creative freedom by Eastern Bloc standards. Ljubljana's large residential neighborhoods of the 1970s and 1980s show serious urban ambition, and Ilija Arnautović, the republic's most prolific housing architect, shaped many of them; the BS3 - Residential complex (1981) is a characteristic example of his systematized yet varied concrete housing. Slovenian modernism of this period is increasingly documented and valued as part of the wider Yugoslav architectural legacy.
