Toward a Concrete Utopia—still the hottest architecture show in town

Serefudin White Mosque in Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina, built 
1969–1979, is reproduced from Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980, published to accompany the show currently on view at MoMA. Perhaps one of the most reviewed shows in the city this year, Toward a Concrete Utopia is “simultaneously improbable and significant,” Natasha Seaman writes Hyperallergic this week. “The show argues for its importance to both the erstwhile country and 20th-century architectural history. As such, it is an opportunity for revelations as much as nostalgia about the country that was and the concrete buildings that remain, like the bleached bones of dinosaurs.”
