These are amazing - thanks for sharing - I've only visited Croatia once and then stayed towards Dubrovnik - not a huge amount of Brutalism around there!, but I did get thechance to explore the derelict hotels in Kupari Bay...
Thanks a lot, Juliette. I was collecting these photos through couple of years and I have many more of them on Instagram profile legacyofsocialism. However, I am not active there any more.
I love some of the Brutalist architecture. I went to the top of the Gene tower in Belgrade, and you're right about the views, too. And the philosophy is the 15minute city way ahead of it's time
Very interesting journey you share here. I, too, have found I enjoy snapping elements of some of the Brutalist structures I find, finding the interesting within the gargantuan. I also really, really love the interiors you shared here. They definitely evoke an alternate era. Fine post, thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful article and photo essay! I especially like the black and white images. You captured both the bleakness and the beauty. I also find it interesting that the exteriors lack detail, but the interiors do not. It’s almost like the austere exteriors are there to protect the beauty within.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you like the buildings. As for the interiors, they are mostly similar to the exterior, and I chose the best ones.🤗
These photos triggered different emotions in me. Your photography skills move me and take me on a new journey. Thank you for sharing your art and articulating it in an understandable way.
I also live in a socialist building, and I love its durability and its thick walls. I don't like the utilitarian aesthetic, but ok, we can't have it all. I'm jealous of your view!

Thank you as well. Yes, Dubrovnik doesn't have brutalist architecture as far as I know. I didn't know about the Kupari Bay. Will check it.
This was so good and I really learned a lot. The photos are outstanding!

I love culture, so much appreciation Davor. By the way, geez, the view is spectacular…
Thanks Jo-Ann🤗👍
