具体描述
Spomenik’ the Serbo-Croat/Slovenian word for ‘monument’ – refers to a series of memorials built in Tito’s Republic of Yugoslavia from the 1960s-1990s, marking the horror of the occupation and the defeat of Axis forces during World War II. Hundreds were built across the country, from coastal resorts to remote mountains. Through these imaginative forms of concrete and steel, a classless, forward–looking, socialist society, free of ethnic tensions, was envisaged.
Instead of looking to the ideologically aligned Soviet Union for artistic inspiration, Tito turned to the west and works of abstract expressionism and minimalism. As a result, Yugoslavia was able to develop its own distinct identity through these brutal monuments, which were used as political tools to articulate Tito’s personal vision of a new tomorrow. Today, following the breakup of the country and the subsequent Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, some have been destroyed or abandoned. Many have suffered the consequences of ethnic tensions – once viewed as symbols of hope they are now the focus of resentment and anger.
This book brings together the largest collection of spomeniks published to date. Each has been extensively photographed and researched by the author, to make this book the most comprehensive survey of this obscure and fascinating architectural phenomenon.
A fold-out map on the reverse of the dust jacket shows the exact location of each spomenik using GPS coordinates.

评分 评分##想去南斯拉夫！！
评分 评分##六月拿到，今天才一点点全看完。完全符合（我这样的）精神前南人全部或破败，或辉煌，如今奄奄一息又屹立不倒的幻想。spomenik是Serbo-Croatian语中memorial的意思，当然，当然，关于过去政治意义的讨论现在已经难以探寻，但希望未来还是有人能注视这些沉默的钢铁怪兽。年度最佳给TJENTIŠTE里的那句“What is missing is the senselessness of dying...the pain of those waiting for help which never arrived...it is victory, it is heroes giving their lives purposefully for the new project.”
