Bulgarian Postwar and Contemporary Architecture: History and Issues of Preservation for Erasmus students

"Bulgarian Postwar and Contemporary Architecture" is an elective course that aims to give students a comprehensive knowledge of the history of Bulgarian architecture between 1944 and 1989 (the period of Bulgarian socialism), and also to trace the transitional period from the last decade of the twentieth century and to analyse the post-socialist attitude towards these architectural traces. The aim and task of this course is also to analyse Bulgarian architecture in a broader global context. The discipline experimentally combines theoretical-historical knowledge with that in the field of conservation and sets itself the main task of getting to know, understand and protect this architectural layer in our country.
