Plan for Skopje 1963 was the urban and architectural plan put forward to rebuild the city of Skopje following the 1963 Skopje earthquake. The plan was organised between 1963 and 1966 by the government of Yugoslavia and the United Nations.[1] The rebuilding of the city attracted large international attention,[2] this led to the involvement of a large number of high-profile architects.[3] The UN invited Kenzo Tange and his team to participate in an international competition for the urban design of the city centre in 1965; as one of several Yugoslav and international architecture teams.[1] Architects that participated in the plan include Greek architect Constantinos Doxiadis[4] and Polish architect Adolf Ciborowski.[5] Dutch architects Van den Broek and Jaap Bakema. Luigi Piccinato (Italy) and Maurice Rotival (USA). Yugoslav participants included Aleksandar Dordevik, Slavko Brezoski, Edvard Ravnikar, Radovan Miščević and Fedor Wenzler.[6][7]
The plan is unique in its architectural focus involving Metabolism, Brutalism and Architecture of Yugoslavia on a total scale,[8] culturally relevant due to the international attention and collaboration backed by the UN and a rare example of Cold War unity between the superpowers of the 20th century.[2]
The architectural plan has been revisited, theorised and discussed due to its impact on Brutalist architecture and art history of the 20th Century.[9] The impact of the plan effected urban, historical and cultural direction of society.[10]
The implementation of the reconstruction of Skopje is a historically unique instance of UN international collaboration, it is also the first examples of Japanese architects implementing metabolist theory and modern architecture methods on a metropolis scale urban project outside of Japan.
