Committe of the Communist Party of Montenegro

Zgrada Centralnog komiteta Saveza komunista Crne Gore
Tu, na desnoj stani Morače, stoji od 13. jula 1979. godine. Njen autor je čuveni arhitetka iz Crne Gore – Radosav Zeković koji je u novembru 1965. godine pobijedio na republičkom konkursu društva arhitekata Crne Gore za idejno rješenje zgrade CKSKCG u Titogradu. Kada je odnio pobjedu i osvojio 800 hiljada dinara, imao je tek pet godina staža. Zeković je iza sebe ostavio 12 kolega prijavljenih na konkursu, i stekao uslove za sprovođenje u djelo objekta koji će kasnije obilježiti njegovu karijeru.
Zeković zgradu projektuje u duhu struktiralizma, pravca u arhitekturi nastalog u 20. Vijeku
Holandski arhitekta Aldo Van Ajk, objasnio je strukturalizam kao „lavirintsku jasnoću“.
„Specifična namjena i sadržina ovog objekta, predstavlja zbilja zahvalan posao. Objekti ove vrste se rjeđe izrađuju i zbog toga sam se trudio da, koliko je više moguće, apostrofiram nacionalno-folklorne elemente putem stilizovanih arhaičnih formi, i primjenom jednostavnih materijala, bez ikakve pompe, raskoši i slično. To je suština monumentalnosti građevinarstva, da se prilagodi našim prilikama i mogućnostima“, govorio je Zeković.
Autor je, svjestan trenutka u kojem stvara, povezao crnogorsku i jugoslovensku arhitektonsku scenu sa tendencijama na svjetskoj arhitektnoskoj sceni 60-ih godina 20. vijeka.
Kada je pobijedio na konkursu, kazao je da će CKSKCG biti lijep, jednostavan, funkcionalan objekat, a da neće biti skup.
Izgradnja objekta počela je 1978, a završena je 1979. punih 14 godina od Zekovićeve pobjede na konkursu.
Žiri za dodjelu „Borbine“ nagrade za arhitekturu 19. februara 1980. donio je odluku da 15. jubilarnu Republičku nagradu za najbolje realizovano arhitektonsko djelo na teritoriji Crne Gore, dodijeli Radosavu Zekoviću za zgradu CKSKCG, koju Podgoričani zovu “dva sanduka”.
Nakon raspada Jugoslavije i nestanka komunističke partije, zgrada CKSKCG služila je za potrebe Vlade Crne Gore do 2010. godine kada je preseljena u Karađorđevu ulicu.

Central Committee of the League of Communists of Montenegro
It has been standing there, on the right side of Morača, since July 13,
1979. Its author is the famous architect from Montenegro – Radosav
Zeković, who in November 1965 (who at the time only had five years of
experience) won the national competition of the Society of Architects of
Montenegro for the conceptual design of the building of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of Montenegro in Titograd. Zekovic left
behind 12 colleagues who applied for the competition, and gained the
conditions for the implementation of the facility, which will later mark
his career.
Zekovic designs the building in the spirit of structuralism, a direction
in architecture created in the 20th century.
Dutch architect Aldo Van Eyck explained structuralism as "labyrinthine
clarity".
"The specific purpose and content of this facility is a truly rewarding
job. Objects of this type are made less often and that is why I tried to
emphasize national-folklore elements as much as possible through
stylized archaic forms, and using simple materials, without any pomp,
luxury and the like. That is the essence of the monumentality of
construction, to adapt to our opportunities and possibilities ", said
Zeković.
Aware of the moment in which he created, the author connected the
Montenegrin and Yugoslav architectural scene with the tendencies on the
world architectural scene in the 1960s.
When he won the competition, he said that CKSKCG will be a beautiful,
simple, functional facility, without being expensive.
Construction of the facility began in 1978, and was completed in 1979, a
full 14 years since Zekovic’s victory in the competition.
On February 19, 1980, the jury for the "Borba" award for architecture
made the decision to award the 15th jubilee Republic Award for the best
realized architectural work on the territory of Montenegro to Radosav
Zekovic for the CKSKCG building, which the people of Podgorica call "two
boxes".
After the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the disappearance of the
Communist Party, the CKSKCG building served the needs of the Government
of Montenegro until 2010, when it was moved to Karađorđe Street.
