je zanimljivo proveriti priču po ko- joj su saloni projektovani tako da je veličina svakog proporcionalna ge- ografskoj površini republike čije ime nosi. Nismo premeravali, ali je utisak da je priča tačna, a naš kustos objaš- njava da je uređenje svakog salona bilo povereno federalnim jedinica- ma, koje su za to zadužile svoje naj- poznatije arhitekte i umetnike. Svečani deo objekta je svojevr- sna galerija umetnosti 20. veka, a po- sebnu vrednost čini kolekcija dela ju- goslovenskog slikarstva i vajarstva, kao i dela primenjene umetnosti tog vremena. Kako su radovi birani na konkur- su, jasno su bile zadate istorijske i ideološke teme. Tako svečanim pro- storom dominira grandiozni mozaik Sutjeska slovenačkog slikara Marija Pregelja, koji dočarava jednu od naj- značajnijih bitaka Drugog svetskog rata, dok najveću prostoriju Palate, salu Jugoslavija , krase monumen- talne freske Let u kosmos Petra Lu- barde, Putevima Jugoslavije Lazara Vujaklije i triptih-mozaik Stvaranje TITOVI GOSTI U PALATI U prvom reprezentativnom zdanju koje je izgrađeno u Jugoslaviji posle Drugog svetskog rata primani su strani držav- nici, krunisane glave i brojne delegaci- je. Tadašnji predsednik Josip Broz Tito je ugostio zvučna imena novije isto- rije poput Leonida Brežnjeva, Nikite Hruščova, Ričarda Niksona, kraljice Eli- zabete i princa Filipa, Džeralda Forda, Moamera el Gadafija...
square metres is the total surface area of the Palace
T he idea for its construction emerged as far back as 1947, but it wasn’t un- til 1961 that the newly completed Palace hosted the First Conference of Non-Aligned Countries. A design compe- tition ended with the selection of the de- sign offered by architect Vladimir Potočnjak and his team from the Zagreb project bu- reau. Along with preserving the basic idea of the building being H-shaped, with mildly curved wings, after a pause of several years, further construction was carried out in ac- cordance with the solution of architect Mi- hail Janković and Belgrade-based project bureau “Stadion”.
- Janković’s project offered an easier, more relaxed form. Massive walls and in- serted pillars were removed wherever pos- sible. In front of Tito’s cabinet were located two gilded pillars, made of pebbles coated in “katerini gold plate”. Likewise, the façade al- so received plenty of window openings and glass vaults above the central part. The suc- cess of Janković’s replaced project marked the victory of the modernist concept in Yu- goslav architecture – explains Sandra Vesić Tesla, curator of the Administration for Joint Affairs of the Republic authorities. According to her, the construction and furnishing of the Palace was the first time that the concept of total design was applied in our country. -That is a demanding principle in design that precisely prescribes the position, theme and size of artworks as part of a unique interi- or design.There is preserved documentation confirming that every detail was taken care of – says our interlocutor, while she shows us just one old folder containing yellowed papers that are today invaluable. The central part of the Palace, which connects the two wings of the building, rep- resents the most characteristic part of the building. An impressive staircase leads to the central foyer and the main entrance to the ceremony hall. A fantastic impression is al- so left by two spacious foyers with glass ceil- ings, from where you can“stroll”through all the republics of the formerYugoslavia.Those six salons, named after the republics, are like micro-museums of the peoples and nation- alities of a country that no longer exists.
