Papandopulova ulica - Architecture of Split 3 Featured in MoMA’s “Toward a Concrete Utopia” Exhibition. New York 2018.
“Built in the 1970s, Split 3—an expansion of the Croatian city of Split—was one of the last large-scale urban planning schemes in Yugoslavia and one of its most ambitious and successful. It combined megastructure housing blocks with careful attention to pedestrian streets, which were conceived as a forum for urban life, and a mixture of spaces for living, work, and leisure.
Providing housing for approximately fifty thousand new residents, the massive undertaking was praised internationally for its communal and public space and its integration into the existing terrain,” said MoMA
- Split-Dalmatia County - The project Split 3 was the answer to rapid demographic growth and although it was never fully realized, it enters the annals of urbanism and architecture of the 20th century, not only in Croatia but also in the wider world.
