Having grown up on the “old” side of the Sava river I always looked on the New Zagreb sky scrapers as ugly necessary evil. Towards the end of the 80’s the architecture started to look pretty, even exciting, but the 70’s splotchy gray incited in me only pity. That is until I saw this diorama.

The model misses both the human element (flowers, curtains, laundry, balcony mods, graffiti…) and the weathered effect, but it underlines the sense that this is someone’s (many someones’) home and it has elegant design after its own fashion.

The Sopot appartement blocks were part of the exhibition by Klub Kockice.
