First Transformation

The post-war period will present a new political ideology, a drastic change from Socialism to Capitalism will directly effect the modernist heritage trying to impose power and strength by merely attacking the landmarks. 30 November 2008, the 30-th birthday of the organization was the day when “Rilindja” newspaper stopped its activity in protest due to political pressure, on this date started the new project for the transformation of the building making it what is also today “Ministry of Public Services”, a transformation that had political background. The new project of the “Rilindja” Media House building was conducted without proper analysis and consideration of the buildings historical identity, in this was both the building and organization were significantly destroyd. Of the same opinion was also the architect of the building Georgi Konstanivski, who during a lecture in Pristina on 2015, said; “Oh, yeah this is actually my building.!!”, however he needed a few seconds to understand that, he continuous “Now you see how it has changed. It is cladded, lost its importance, the weight of history, the modern architecture of the 1970s. It hampers me because part of history has been deleted”.
