On July 3, 1973, in Skopje, a building belonging to the brutalist post-earthquake architecture, the building of the Taftalidze local community and also a cultural center, which the citizens call “Domche”, was put into use. “Domce” is perhaps the smallest brutalist object in the world. The “text” in the form of twelve stories entitled DOMCE (perhaps) the smallest brutalist object in the world, were written as part of the long-term artistic interdisciplinary project entitled THE CITY AS A SCENE – Lost Modernist Utopias.
