“Conversations with contemporaries” are public discursive formats aimed at research as well as at the popularization of the Housing.Yu project and its core themes. As the circle of people who actively took part in the comprehensive modernist processes of housing construction – from planning and design to shaping housing policies and implementation – is constantly shrinking, the knowledge and experience they hold are an endangered resource. During study trips, twelve public conversations are therefore organized with key protagonists of housing construction in socialist Yugoslavia. These conversations with local experts, now members of the older generation, are held in the capitals of the six republics (Belgrade, Ljubljana, Podgorica, Sarajevo, Skopje, Zagreb) as well as in Split and Pula. They are organized in collaboration with local partners – faculties, professional associations and local branches of Docomomo.
