Item type:Publication, МАПИРАЊЕ НА „СИНТЕЗАТА НА УМЕТНОСТИТЕ“ ВО МАКЕДОНСКИ КОНТЕКСТ(INSTITUTE OF MACEDONIAN LITERATURE/ИНСТИТУТ ЗА МАКЕДОНСКА ЛИТЕРАТУРА, 2022)Meri Batakoja“The Synthesis of the Arts” is institutionalized as phenomenon through the German language in the 19th century: Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) and Einheitskunstwerk (unified artwork). Although both terms signify unity of architecture, painting and sculpture, the first refers to the synthesis of the arts based on creative collaborations, while keeping up the autonomy of the expressions as different components, and the second refers to an essential unity between arts as common conceptual foundation of inner-cause and artistic principles that produce unified and indivisible artwork. We can recognize Gesamtkunstwerk throughout whole architectural history, while Einheitskunstwerk belongs exclusively to the epoch of modernity and modern architectural thought. We recognize “The Synthesis of the Arts” in Macedonian context as self-conscious method and goal in the formation of the creative groups of mixed character (painters, sculptors, architects, etc.), following the example of the Yugoslav avant-garde in the mid-twentieth century. This paper represents original mapping of the manifestations of this phenomenon of “The Synthesis of the Arts” in Macedonian context, a specific episode of Macedonian modernism, and serves as a methodological base for further inquiries. It promotes detailing of theoretical knowledge derived from the broader cultural context as a significant tool in the process of learning architecture, and the relevance of the phenomenon “The Synthesis of the Arts” in the study of Macedonian architecture. It also highlights the important difference between architectural historiography and architectural biography of one city. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Experiential Museum – Avant-Garde Spatial Experiments and the Reorganization of the Human Sensorium(Architektúra & urbanizmus, Department of Architecture of the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, 2021-07) ;Meri BatakojaKarin ŠermanAvant-garde artistic experiments are unquestionably recognized as relevant to the museum field in the context of art and museum studies. This paper aims to reconfirm their relevance in the architectural context as well, selecting crucial cases and protagonists whose final products were not artworks or exhibitions per se, but new (concepts of) space. These new concepts of space were all treated as democratic and participatory new media capable of training and modernizing the whole of our human sensorium. In this way, a curious partnership is discovered between this “experiential” art museum and the discourse on architectural modernity. Imaginary space, expressionist space, correlational space, multimedia space and situationist space – these are the principal categories that this paper recognizes as five distinct productive devices for modernist perceptual reorganization. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Interview: The City of Skopje through Cross-generational Lens(2018)Meri BatakojaThe interview is conducted as separate conversations with four architects, with an aim to reveal their experience, thoughts and considerations about the "captured public space" of the City of Skopje. The interview unfolds individual reconstructions of the context, by personal recollections and personal views of the interlocutors; it refers on the culture that captures or frees space; the inter-relations between public space citizenship and the sensitive topics of the city's history and memory; the overlaps and disconnections between architectural profession, architectural education and state authorities...and other restrictions that prevent us from looking at the public space as free from interest and completely devoted to the values of our daily city life. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Skopje - Freeingspace from In-Between the Remembrance and Projectivity(2018)Meri BatakojaThe essay is dedicated to four case studies of the city of Skopje, the mega block as context of "NA-MA" department store, the building of central post office, the unfinished cultural center, and the building of the Macedonian government. They are read as a formal underlying logic of the urban fabric developed under different political and economic conditions and at different scales. A range of strategic operations are being discussed as unique efforts to perceive and imagine a city in a particular moment between remembrance and projectivity. The idea for the "freeing space" of these four case studies is behind the projects exhibited at the 16th International Architecture Biennale in Venice 2018. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Skopje’s Mega Block: Modern Architecture as an Art of Grafting(2018)Meri BatakojaThe formative idea of “grafting” or “graftage” is originally a horticultural technique of inserting tissues from one plant to another in order for them to join together and continue to grow as a single plant. The technique of “graftage” in architectural context would mean that a new architecture is being interpolated over an old one, but by a set of treatments used, the different architectural interventions function as a single entity. It is presented in this text in the context of modern architecture of one singular urban block of Skopje. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Conceptual Interaction between Art Content and Museum Architecture in Art Museum Design(University of Zagreb Faculty of Architecture, 2015-06-08)Meri BatakojaThis dissertation introduces the conceptual interaction between art content and museum architecture as an analytical aspect in art museum design and hence elaborates the resulting prototypes and formative ideas that are not yet part of the official body of knowledge on art museum architecture. This specific aspect of art museum architecture was encouraged by recent re-actualizations of some forgotten architectural works and it concurred on the issues of identifying establishments different from the traditional museum within the new museology. The research involves crossing of disciplinary boundaries in order to improve the understanding of the discovered prototypes and formative ideas resulting from the conceptual interaction between art content and museum architecture also referred to as microstructure and macrostructure, respectively. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Conceptual Interaction between Art Content and Museum Architecture in Art Museum Design (Doctoral Dissertation Summary)(University of Zagreb Faculty of Architecture, 2015)Meri BatakojaDisertacija uvodi novi analitički aspekt u sagledavanju problematike umjetničkih muzeja: konceptualnu interakciju između umjetničkog sadržaja i muzejske arhitekture, te u skladu s time elaborira iz toga proizašle prototipove i formativne ideje koji još nisu dio službenog znanja o arhitekturi umjetničkih muzeja. Ovaj specifični aspekt proučavanja arhitekture umjetničkih muzeja potaknut je nedavnim reaktualizacijama određenih zaboravljenih arhitektonskih ostvarenja, te je u skladu i s pristupom nove muzeologije u smislu prepoznavanja i uvažavanja arhitektonskih formacija različitih od tradicionalnog muzeja. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Frames of References – Art Museums as Unique Visual Media(MI-AN Publishing, division of Centre for Culture and Cultural Studies, 2015) ;Aneta HristovaMeri BatakojaThe age old activity of collecting arts is not intrinsically dependent on the art museum as separate architectural type. How was the art museum as an independent structure conceptualized and why? What was the idea behind that concept? Was it created as a medium consciously and what kind of messages was it supposed to deliver? What kind of unique “textual” overlaps the various disciplines of archaeology, art history, politics, literature, science and architecture created in order to produce what we today recognize as art museum space? This study focuses on the crucial historical moments of the late 17th century when such questions were posed for the first time within the classical discourse of the French architectural theory which followed the consolidation of French absolutism and the foundation of the Royal academies of arts and sciences, until the mid 19th century when the answers to those questions were finally exemplified in built architecture. The study gives a comprehensive overview of the cultural context art museums as public institutions emerged from and became new spatial models for collective cultivation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Diaeta” from the Short Histories of Art Museum Architecture(Institute of Macedonian Literature - Skopje, 2016)Meri BatakojaDo we really enjoy, as art lovers, visiting an art museum? Is it possible, ever, to experience Picasso’s Guernica, Francisco Goya’s Los Desastres de la Guerra, Velázquez’s Las Meninas and many other personal and worldly favourites, while we share the experience with hundreds of others simultaneously, all standing still in front of the masterworks in crowded and unclear expectation? Can we imagine a time when the art museum as we know it today didn’t exist yet? Can we reconstruct the various spaces for displaying and contemplating art throughout history, alternative to the today’s notion of art museum architecture? What can we learn from them? “Short histories of Art Museum Architecture” is consisted of excerpts of such reconstructions of various spaces for displaying and contemplating art throughout history that revive the alternatives of the modern art museum. In this paper, the renaissance “diaeta” was being reconstructed as based upon the humanist ideal of leisure as precondition of good and healthy life. Architecturally, it was built upon the literary sources on the ancient Roman urban villa and promoted cohabitation of the arts and the nature.
