Abstract
The intensive housing construction in the Republic of North Macedonia, which began in the
1960s, especially after the catastrophic earthquake
in Skopje in 1963, was based primarily on the
huge development of the construction operation,
whose power and opportunities could not be expressed only in Macedonia, but with great success
was carried out with the largest construction operations in the former: SFR Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, USSR; as well as in Germany, the Arab
countries: Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and others.
According to the approved new urban plan of
the city of Skopje, the most intensive building
construction in Macedonia started in the seventies.
New residential settlements emerged (Karpoš,
Železara, Kisela Voda, etc.), which on a large
scale began to give the physiognomy of the city.
Also, the construction of the central city area with
social, administrative and residential buildings
started even more intensively (according to the
project of the Japanese architect Kenzo Tange),
designated as “city wall” and “city gates”.
The growth and expansion of the city on a daily
basis pressured the management structures, among
others smaller ones, to start building the largest
residential complex “Aerodrom”. The buildings
were built with inflexible technologies (with large
surface and tunnel plates), where the possibility of
changing the organization of the apartments is excluded, which was not the case with the buildings
built with classical skeletal systems.
This paper aims to give an overview of the applied construction systems and technologies of construction and the correlation between the structure
and the construction of the apartment and the structure of the family in the residential buildings from
the settlement “Aerodrom” in Skopje, built in 1977.
