Abstract

The task of this paper is to present one of the biggest, still unfinished memorial building in former Yugoslavia, the Home of Revolution, project by Marko Mušič, whose constructions began in 1977 in Nikšić city, Republic of Montenegro. The building has a combined role, it is memorial buildings dedicated to liberation struggles in World War II and cultural center. Over time, Home of Revolution has been differently perceived by citizens, from the main element of urban identity and pride to the negative element of urban identity during the civil war in Yugoslavia in 90’s when building became the antithesis of everything that is supposed to represent. Even today there are different opinions about the building. A part of the citizens has a negative opinion about it, while others want the building to be completed aware of its historical value.
