Résumé (en anglais)

Socialist architecture and more precisely the modernist tendencies of the 1955-1991 period, as a concept, are becoming more and more popular in specialists circles. In our case, “Socialist Modernism” is a research platform created by the B.A.C.U. Association. It focuses on modernist trends from Central and Eastern Europe that are insufficiently explored in the broader context of global architecture. Modernism in architecture first arose in Western European capitalist societies, following a series of essential principles such as "form follows function", the use of mass produced materials, the adoption of industrial aesthetics, simplicity and form clarity, the elimination of unnecessary details, etc. In post-war Eastern European socialist countries, on the other hand, modernist trends first influenced the professional sphere, and through that influence they were able to penetrate borders and the limits imposed by the Socialist ideology. In Central and Eastern Europe there are a number of important architectural monuments, mostly from 1955-1991, representative of the post WWII identity of each country and expressing the aspirations of socialist architects. Examples include: the "Romanita" Collective Housing Building- Chisinau, the Buzludzha Memorial - Bulgaria, the Emilia Pavilion – Warsaw, etc.
