Колар, че е избран за длъжността „градский архитектор“. Няколко месеца след Освобождението, на мястото на бъдещата българска столица, той заварва едно изостанало Пориенталско селище с около 3000 къщи, 20 джамии и десетина хана, сбутани около непроходими от кал улички без канализация, водопровод и осветление. С делото на А. Колар, който създава първия й градоустройствен план, започва историята на евро- пейска София. Само за няколко десетилетия, благодарение на труда и таланта на плеяда европей- ски, а по-късно и български архитекти и инженери, тя напълно се променя. Наред с всичките си останали задължения, Антонин Колар проектира и първите публични сгради и обществени пространства: Военното министерство и Военното училище, Градската градина, Грандхотел „България“, Паметника на Васил Левски, Централна- та гара, Офицерския клуб. Те се превръщат в средище на важни обществени събития и прояви, в място за срещи, на които се взимат исторически решения и се раждат идеи за бъдещето. Това издание разказва за тези емблематични за столицата ни места като наше общо на- следство и е част от кампанията на Българската банка за развитие по повод 140-ата го- дишнина от встъпването в длъжност на Антонин Колар като първия градски архитект на София.

  • Sofia Retail Guide
    SOFIA Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Sofia | 2019 0 Sofia is the capital of Bulgaria and the largest city with 1.32 million inhabitants (20% of the national population). The city occupies a leading position in terms of investments, economic and infrastructure development, education and quality of life countrywide. Sofia is the largest regional economy, accounting for almost 40% of the national GDP. The city is home of 23 universities and more than 15 independent IT schools. It is the largest economic hub that offers a highly-skilled work force. The Bulgarian capital enjoys a constantly growing population, thanks to the migration of young people to the city. This results in favourable labour market with easy access to labour force, the highest employment rate in Bulgaria (75% for 2017) and gross average salary (€ 8,793 in 2017) exceeding by more than 30% the country average. Sofia is also one of the most visited tourist destinations in Bulgaria along with coastal and mountain resorts. The popularity of the city for tourism is underpinned by the increasing number of flights and passengers on Sofia Airport (7% y-o-y growth in 2018). The first shopping centres in Sofia appeared in 2006 and shortly afterwards several schemes followed. Currently, nine shopping centres and one outlet centre operate in the city, with total space amounting to around 405,000 sqm. The largest schemes have huge entertainment, sport or conference zones in addition to their retail mixes. With Food & Beverage (F&B) becoming an essential part of the customer experience, various types of restaurants, cafés and SOFIA food kiosks are also widely represented.

  • Interpretations of the Ottoman Urban Legacy in the National Capital Building of Sofia (1878-1940)
    Interpretations of the Ottoman Urban Legacy in the National Capital Building of Sofia (1878-1940) Elitza Stanoeva Introduction In the first decades of Bulgaria's independence from the Ottoman Empire (1878), an aftermath of the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877-1878, the projected national identity of Bulgarians was shaped by the desire for 'de-Ottomanization' and 'Europeanization'. The ideological need to anchor the newly gained nationhood in European modernity went hand in hand with the zeal to distance the national identity from the Ottoman past by obliterating its traces in the inherited material and social world. In the ensuing anti-Ottoman casuistry, the interchangeable concepts of 'Oriental' and 'Ottoman' became bywords for 'underdeveloped' and virtually anti-modern. Sofia became Bulgaria's national capital in March 1879, one year after the country's liberation from the Ottoman Empire. That rendered the processes of urban development subservient to state formation. The result was that the enforcement of a representational physiognomy of the national capital coupled with the symbolic reinforcement of national sovereignty. However, the programmatic prerogatives of de-Ottomanization were rather a political allure than guidelines of a rationally conceived urbanist agenda. The 'Oriental' characteristics of the built environment and the lifestyles of inhabitation were an outcome of five-century-long development under the reign of the Ottoman Empire (1382-1878). As such, they were perceived as structural ingredients of a detested external domination, the materialized memory of which had to be effaced. In the conditions of Bulgaria's partial sovereignty as an autonomous country yet a tributary principality of the Ottoman Empire (1878-1908), this symbolic subversion of history was a highly loaded political project.

  • Christ Church: Our History
    CHRIST CHURCH: OUR HISTORY lthough there has been an Anglican priest in Vienna, acting as honorary chaplain to the British ambassador and ministering to the Anglican resident community, at least since the late 17th century, there has only been a permanent building since 1877. Previously, services were held in the British Embassy from 1831 untilA 1874, on Schenkenstrasse, and later demolished to make way for the new Burgtheater, thereafter in the new purpose-built British Embassy in the Metternichgasse. From the middle of the 19th century, there was a considerable increase in size of the British community living in Vienna, due especially to the establishment of ever more British businesses in Vienna as a result of closer economic ties between Great Britain and Austria. Following the building of the new Embassy, it soon became apparent that an Anglican church in Vienna was also required. The establishment of a permanent place of worship for the British community was proposed to the Austrian Government in 1874 by the British Ambassador, Sir Andrew Buchanan, but the plan was initially thwarted by a political obstacle. In 1855, Pope Pius IX had concluded a Concordat with Austria, guaranteeing the prime recognition and privileges of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the Austrian Empire (and thereby maintaining a certain influence on Austrian politics). By 1870, however, following Italian unification, the Vatican had lost most of its temporal power in Italy and was attempting to increase its authority outside its limited sphere. The Austrian Emperor, Franz Joseph, objected to this and, in 1874, Confessional Laws were passed annulling the Concordat of 1855 and regulating the relations of the Roman Catholic Church with the State.
