The political school of Josip Broz Tito is an example of brutalism, a kind of architecture, which can be seen ambivalent for sure. The school was built in the 70s, when the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia was on its zenith and opened 1981 with pomp and circumstance. Politicians came from all over the world, the school had a huge library, much about communism and socialism. But after Tito's death it operated only for one decade and closed already 1990. In the 90s it was a refugee hostel during the Balkan war. Obviously nobody wants the huge building, apart of a swiss movie company, which offered 3 Mio. $, to use it for a horror movie. Although the concrete building has a copper roof, there are many foliage plants and high humidity in it, ferns are overgrowing the bar and all smells moist and moldy. The cinema behind the bar is completely abandoned, in the projection room there are still 2 big projectors and empty film spools are lying around. Everywhere books are scattered, between purple desk chairs, religious little pictures an the walls of the rooms, a lonely prehistoric blood pressure gauge is lost in the doctor's room, where file cards and medical reports do not give a damn about data privacy.
After the last congress of the Communist Liga of Yugoslavia in January 1990 the school went bancrupt. A military training center was there for the army and for the French Foreign Legion. Now the building is lost and abandoned since a long time. The floor space is 8500 m², the building has 145 rooms, including a large gym, a restaurant, bar, cinema and a library, most of the rooms left empty.
