  • One Ideology, Two Visions. Churches And
    1 Leibniz Institut für Geschichte und Kultur des östlichen Europa, Leipzig, April 2019. ONE IDEOLOGY, TWO VISIONS. CHURCHES AND THE SOCIALIST CITY, EAST BERLIN AND WARSAW – 1945-1975. By Marcus van der Meulen. In this presentation sacred architecture in rebuilding war damaged cities during the the period 1945-1975 is discussed, starting with a short look at the postwar reconstruction of Minsk and Magdeburg as socialist cities, followed by a look at East Berlin and Warsaw. This presentation is an adapted version of the paper presented at the conference State (Re)construction in Art in Central and Eastern Europe 1918-2018 in Warsaw 2018. We will look at the first three decades of rebuilding the nation after the end of the Second World War. 1975 was a pivotal year. It was the European Architectural Heritage Year, shifting the heritage values regarding religious buildings from the traditional religious connotations towards the important values of education and economy, including tourism, and the year the German Democratic Republic adopted the Denkmalschutz Gesetz in the DDR, heralding a change, a growing awareness of the significance of historic buildings including sacred architecture. Introduction. At the end of the Second World War in May 1945 two capitals were in ruins. The war had destroyed much of Europe. Cities and towns had been bombed or damaged in combat. Some buildings were even calculatedly dynamited and burned down. As the Nazis retreated historic buildings, in my home country especially the church towers, were targeted and detonated. Severe combat damaged the German capital until the final days of the war.

The Ruined City, Memory, and Mechanical Reproduction Photographs are not hand-made; they are manufactured. And what is manufactured is an image of the world. The inescapable fact of mechanism or automatism in the making of these images is the feature Bazin points to as “[satisfying], once and for all and in its very essence, our obsession with realism.” It is essential to get to the right depth of this fact of automatism. Stanley Cavell, The World Viewed1 There can be no image that is not about destruction and survival, and this is especially the case in the image of ruin. We might even say that the image of ruin tells us what is true of every image: that it bears witness to the enigmatic relation between death and survival, loss and life, destruction and preservation, mourning and memory. It also tells us, if it can tell us anything at all, that what dies, is lost, and mourned within the image –even as it survives, lives on, and struggles to exist – is the image itself.

I outline the historical development of Macedonia since independence in the first section and discuss the characteristics of Gruevski’s government. Critical to their cultural policy was the controversial Skopje 2014 scheme and “antiquisation”; the re- casting of the appearance of Yugoslav-era Skopje in neoclassical and Baroque architectural styles and monuments. The response of critical artists to this scheme then is assessed through the example of Aleksandar Spasoski’s The Ship that Never Sailed (2012), and the work of the KOOPERACIJA grouping.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PLANNING NAPIER 1850–1968 A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Planning at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand John Barry Annabell 2012 Abstract In the context of New Zealand planning history, planning can be seen in two forms. Informal planning describes planning-related activities already taking place before the establishment of formal town planning in the early 20th century. Formal planning describes planning activities based on legislation, a developing body of knowledge, and a planning profession. Whether informal or formal, planning has been concerned with the arrangement and control of activities in space, with the objective of creating a better living environment. For Napier, a provincial centre, the influence of planning on the growth and development of the town is discussed in terms of four principal themes, covering the period from the birth of the town in the 1850s until 1968. These themes are reclamation, reconstruction, suburban growth, and place promotion/civic improvement. Reclamation planning was important, given that the original town was almost totally surrounded by sea or swamp, with insufficient land for future expansion. A major earthquake in 1931 destroyed the business area of Napier, but helped solve the expansion problem by raising the level of land so that reclamation became easier or was now unnecessary.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 –ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS – Completing a thesis brings many joys, one of which is to remember the colleagues, friends and family who have helped me and supported me along this journey. I am indebted to my Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. Alan Ingram, for his constant guidance, support, encouragement, motivation and feedback. Although I must admit I sometimes cursed his sharp and critical mind, I could not have asked for a better role model, inspirational and always incredibly patient (even towards my never-ending questions, my poor French habits and my dislike for administrative tasks). This thesis would not have been possible without him. I would also like to show my gratitude to my Ph.D. co-supervisor, Prof. Ger Duijzings, for sharing his expert knowledge of and advice on the Balkans, and for many insightful discussions and suggestions on my field visits and my research methods. I would like to warmly thank Dr. Jennifer Robinson and Dr. Wendy Pullan for having agreed to act as examiners for my viva and for giving me detailed and insightful feedback which greatly improved this thesis.
