The third international NONUMENT symposium also celebrates the release of the first NONUMENT book. At 7 pm (19:00) join us for a roundtable discussion with short presentations of the selected contributors. Introducing NONUMENT book round table speakers: Danica Sretenovi ... Danica Sretenovi is an architect, uncertain about any principles and conceptions that appear self-evident. Readily writing about and fighting for unfit places that resist investor-centered spatial politics and collective oblivion. Author of the master thesis Acting Architecturally, which argues that architecture, if pursued in its full potential, has the strength to open up seemingly enclosed world in which we live today. Often mutates to a journalist (interviews with Anne Lacaton, Diabedo Francis Kere, Sami Rintala and Dagur Eggertsson, etc.) and to a graphic designer (2nd Chicago Architectural Biennial, 36th Mountains Festival of Illustration, Galeria Vincon etc.), just to drop a few names to otherwise nameless bio. The NONUMENT book includes essays that offer a bird’s eye view of the vast nonumental field from all across the globe, from contextualising the fetishism of both British brutalism and Yugoslav Spomeniks to the influence of post-colonial discourse and laissez-faire economics of the post-1990 transition from socialism to capitalism upon the changed urban space. Seven case studies discuss selected nonuments in which the residue of geopolitical turmoil, social changes and unresolved historical tensions are especially evident. The book also includes two visual essays by the Nonument Group. The outer sleeve of the book is printed with an index and a map of nonuments in Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Serbia and Slovenia. This index of 120 nonuments - the nonument database, is an archive of the ongoing multidisciplinary research of twentieth-century built spaces that have undergone a shift in meaning.
